Fault code: MID 185 - PPID 306 - FMI12

General information on the fault code:
MID185 G051 - Air production management ECU
PPID306 Rear braking air pressure
FMI-12 Defective unit or component
Appliance(s) implicated:

Appliance(s) implicated:

G051 Air production management ECU

Condition(s) and reason(s) for saving of fault code:

The pressure is below 4.5 bars when the vehicle road speed is more than 10 km/h.
There are air leaks at rear brakes compressed air circuit level.
The G051 equipment is defective.

Perceptible symptoms or "customer complaint" due to fault:

D107 Air management fault warning light

The warning light D048 comes on (D048: "STOP" warning light ; D049: "SERVICE" warning
light).

The following message is displayed:

IMMEDIATE STOP

Recording of the fault code by the ECU G051.

Braking efficiency is limited to the rear of the vehicle.

The warning light D048 comes on (D048: "STOP" warning light ; D049: "SERVICE" warning

Recording of the fault code by the ECU G051.

Braking efficiency is limited to the rear of the vehicle.

Troubleshooting and repair method:

If they are also recorded, first of all process the following fault codes: PSID 201 - FMI9 / PID
84 - FMI2 / SID231 - FMI2.

In order not to damage the equipment, the repair steps should be carried out in the
correct order.

IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD THE "AIR PRODUCT MANAGEMENT" SYSTEM BE

DISASSEMBLED.

Only the cartridge and the exhaust pipe can be subjected to maintenance.

General checks:

Check the general state of the function:

 The wiring harnesses and the fluids routing pipes are sound.
 The connectors are neither oxidized nor physically damaged.
 The connecting arrangement is not damaged.
 The connectors are properly plugged into their equipment.

Diagnostics using the RENAULT TRUCKS test tool:

Using the RENAULT TRUCKS test tool, perform the operation 5600-08-03-02.

Measurements and diagnostics on the module G051 :

Illustration of the module G051 Location

Key: in the illustration above, the unit G051 is identified by item "A".

The location (see illustration above) is given as an indication only, for more precision, refer to
the appropriate vehicle repair manual.

Preparation for tests and measurements:

Turn the ignition key to the "stop" position. Turn the master switch to the "OFF" position. Turn
the master switch to the "ON" position. Erase the fault code then restart the engine. Check
whether the code is again recorded. If so, turn the ignition key to the "stop" position, turn the
master switch back to the "OFF" position and wit for 30 seconds before undertaking any
troubleshooting.

Tests and measurements:

Check the mechanical integrity of the rear brakes compressed air circuit.
Fully drain the vehicle air tanks.
Start the engine.
Let the ECU G051 reach the governing pressure point.
If the fault is still present, replace the G051 equipment.
