Pre-Delivery Inspection – PDI procedures

Please find enclosed the new procedures and relative list of inspections to be performed at all times
before the vehicle is delivered to the customer.
The following procedures must be performed exactly as indicated and in the order given, providing the
factory with the information requested.
- IMPORTANT This Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) procedure may only be performed with a PC-Tester DEIS
updated to at least the following software version (or subsequent release):
- Module 0

Portal and Troubleshooting

54

- Module 1

DEIS Diagnostic software

88

- Module 2

Technical Documentation

12

- Module 3

Tools

8

Check the software number and, if necessary, update your DEIS Tester immediately.
After updating the DEIS, the first vehicle diagnostic cycle must be performed using a cable
connection.

Procedure.

1.

Visually inspect condition of vehicle paintwork; repair if necessary (use the specific “Bodywork
defects” form annexed on page 10).

2.

If disconnected, connect the negative pole of the battery and reset the vehicle auto-adaptive
parameters (as described in paragraph F3.01 of the Workshop Manual).

3.

Activate the Key-ON status and check which letter appears on the DOT MATRIX display:
- if letter “P” (Park Lock) is displayed, go to point 5.
- if letter “N” (Neutral) is displayed, go to point 4.

4.

Re-enable the Park Lock – Gearbox lock device (as described in paragraph C2.07 of the
Workshop Manual).

5.

If the vehicle does not have a Lithium Ion battery, perform the “Battery Certification”
procedure (TI 2079 / 2230), and compile the relative form. If necessary, remove the
battery from the vehicle and charge using the “SLOW charge ” procedure (TI 2078). If
the vehicle is equipped with a lithium battery (optional) print out the engine parameters
with the DEIS tester and check that the SOC (State of Charge) value of the lithium
battery is at least 70%. If the SOC is below this level, the battery must be recharged.

Fig. 1

Note: If the battery needs to be recharged, we recommend using a FRONIUS Acctiva
Professional 35A stabilised power supply and following the instructions provided in
Technical Instruction 2520. If this power supply is not available, use a lithium batterycompatible power supply. If the battery has been recharged, print out the engine
parameters again and attach them to the ROL with the description “PDI Form Info”.
6.

Using the DEIS tester, disable the “Logistic Mode” function with diagnostic cycle “150
Complete Logistic Mode” on the NBC ECU (Body Computer Node).

7.

Test the keys and the anti-theft system.

8.

Check that the daytime lights work correctly (depending on market).

9.

Check that the low beams work correctly: also check that the AFS system (adaptive front
lights - if applicable) works correctly by turning the steering wheel.
