ENGINE AND LOWER ENGINE ASSEMBLYOil consumption Check 10A

PROCEDURE FOR MEASURING OIL CONSUMPTION

1 - Filling to the maximum level

Turn the engine off.

Wait two minutes for all of the oil to flow into the oilsump.

Check the level on the dipstick.

Top up to the "MAX" mark.

Make a paint mark on both the fuel filler cap and thesump drain plug in order to be able to check laterthat they have not been removed.

2 - Customer driving

Ask the customer to drive approximately 1,200 mi-les (2,000 km) in the vehicle without letting the oil le-vel reach the "MIN" mark.

3 - Topping up

Turn the engine off.

Wait two minutes for all of the oil to flow into the oilsump.

Check the level on the dipstick.

Top up to the "MAX" mark.

Note the quantity of oil added and the mileage cove-red since the last top-up to maximum level.

4 - Measurement of the oil consumption

Oil consumption = Quantity of topping up oil (inlitres) / number of kilometres (in thousands).

Note:

The operation should be carried out with theengine warm after the fan unit has started opera-ting.

12B

The turbocharging pressure regulation valvediaphragm (1) is controlled by a solenoid valve (2)which is in turn controlled by the injection computer.This solenoid valve varies the vacuum as a function ofthe engine operating ranges, which allows the turbo-charging pressure to be regulated.

The turbocharging pressure regulation valve is open inthe rest position. The engine operates as normally as-pirated.

The solenoid valve, closed in the rest position, is sup-plied after the engine is started following a delay whichvaries according to the coolant temperature.

12B

Pressure regulation valve diaphragm (1) is controlledby a solenoid valve (2) , which is in turn controlled bythe injection computer.

The pressure adjustment valve is closed at rest posi-tion.

Solenoid valve (2) is open in the rest position.

In the open position, solenoid valve (2) compares theturbocharger outlet (turbocharging pressure) anddiaphragm (1) .

Because of this, the turbocharging pressure acts di-rectly on the diaphragm and the pressure adjustmentvalve opens.

When solenoid valve (2) is controlled, the turbochar-ging pressure signal (taken at the turbocharger outlet)is diverted to the turbocharger inlet. Consequently, thediaphragm is not submitted to turbocharging pressure,the pressure adjustment valve closes.

The solenoid valve is open at rest and is energisedwhen the engine is started. However, during a timedperiod which depends on coolant temperature, the tur-bocharging pressure is limited and the engine speedcannot exceed 2500 rpm.

This ensures that the oil has sufficient time to reach theturbocharger bearings.

13BI - RISKS LINKED TO CONTAMINATION

The high pressure direct injection system is highly sen-sitive to contamination. The risks caused by contami-nation are:

- damage to or destruction of the high pressure injec-tion system,

- a component seizing,

- a component not being properly sealed.

All After-Sales operations must be performed undervery clean conditions. Having carried out an operationin good conditions means that no impurities (particles afew microns in size) have penetrated the system duringdismantling.

The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filterto the injectors.

What are the sources of contamination?

- metal or plastic chips,

- paint,

- fibres from:

• cardboard,

• brushes,

• paper,

• clothing,

• cloth,

- foreign bodies such as hair,

- ambient atmosphere,

- etc.

1 - Cleaning cloths

Use lint free cleaning cloths (part number 77 11 211707 ).

The use of rags or ordinary paper towels is prohibited:these produce lint and lose fibres, which then contami-nate the fuel circuit.

Each cloth must only be used once.

2 - Blanking plugs

The blanking plugs are used to cap the fuel circuit onceit is opened and to therefore prevent contaminantsfrom entering.

A set of blanking plugs should be used once only andused plugs must be discarded after use: once used,the plugs are soiled and cleaning them is not sufficientto make them reusable.

Unused plugs must also be discarded and not usedagain for any other operation on an injection system.

Blanking plug set part number:

- F9Q: 77 01 208 229

- K9K ( DELPHI injection): 77 01 206 804

- K9K ( SIEMENS injection): 77 01 476 857

- M9R: 77 01 209 062

3 - Protective bags

Use hermetically-resealable plastic bags, using adhe-sive tape, for example, to store components which willbe refitted and reused. Stored parts will therefore beless subject to the risk of contamination.

These bags must be used once only: once they havebeen used, they are to be discarded.

4 - Cleaning products

Two cleaning products can be used:

- an injector cleaner (part number 77 11 224 188 ),

- an aerosol spray brake cleaner (part number 77 11226 128 ).

To use the injector cleaner, be sure to have a cleanbrush in good condition (the brush must not lose anybristles) as well as a clean container which has no im-purities in it.

II - ADVICE TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE ANY OPERATION

1) Carry out the work in a clean working area and takecare to protect removed components from dust usingplastic bags which are hermetically-resealable, forexample.

WARNING

Cleaning the engine using a high pressure washeris prohibited because of the risk of damaging con-nections. In addition, moisture may collect in theconnectors and create electrical connection faults.

Note:

Use a new injector cleaner each time work is car-ried out (a used cleaning agent will contain impuri-ties).

K9K, and 722 or 724 or 728 or 729 or 732 – F9Q, and 800 or 804 or 808 – M9R, and 700

13B2) Always order the following from the Parts Depart-ment before carrying out work:

- une collection de bouchons de propreté neuve ,specific to the engine,

- a sufficient number of lint-free lingettes de nettoya-ge .

- one of the two produits de nettoyage for the fuelpipe unions,

- les pièces à remplacer systématiquement aftereach removal and which are mentioned in the workprocedures specific to each vehicle (see the relevantWorkshop Repair Manual).

3) Wear safety goggles fitted with side shields to pre-vent the cleaning product from splashing the eyes.

4) Wear latex safety gloves to avoid prolonged contactwith the skin.

5) Before any operation on the injection system protect (using plastic bags or clean cloths for example):

- the accessories and timing belts,

- the electrical accessories (starter motor, alternator,power-assisted steering pump, sensors and electricalconnectors),

- the flywheel face.

III - INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED DURING THE OPERATION

Wash your hands before and while carrying out thework.

Change the latex safety gloves if they become soiled ordamaged.

All components removed from the injection systemmust be stored in a hermetically sealed plastic bagonce they have been capped.

Reseal the bag hermetically using adhesive tape, forexample, even if the bag must be opened shortly afte-rwards: ambient atmosphere can be a source of pollu-tion.

After opening the fuel circuit, the use of brushes, clea-ning agents, air blow guns, rifle-type brushes or stan-dard cloths is strictly prohibited: These items are likelyto allow impurities to enter the system.

When replacing a component with a new one or whenrefitting it after storing it in a plastic bag, do not unpackit until it is time to fit it on the vehicle.

IV - CLEANING

There are currently two procedures for cleaning thefuel circuit before opening it in order to carry out work inthe workshop.

These procedures enable the fuel circuit to be cleanedto prevent contamination: they both have the same endresult and neither is preferred over the other.

1 - Using the injector cleaning agent

Clear the access to the unions that need opening, fol-lowing the work procedures specific to the vehicle (seethe relevant Workshop Repair Manual).

Protect sections which are sensitive to fuel leaks.

Pour the injector cleaning agent into a container whichis free from impurities.

Dip a clean brush, which is not shedding bristles, intothe container of injector cleaning agent.

Clean the unions carefully using the brush and the in-jector cleaning agent.

Blast the components that have been cleaned withcompressed air (tools, workbench, and also parts,unions and around the injection system). Make surethere are no brush bristles remaining and that the areais clean.

Wipe the sections that were cleaned with fresh clea-ning cloths.

Open the circuit at the unions and immediately fit therelevant blanking plugs.

Note:

If wearing leather protective gloves, cover thesewith latex protective gloves.

IMPORTANT

Wear latex safety gloves when using the cleaningagent.

IMPORTANT

Wear safety goggles fitted with side shields duringthis operation.

WARNINGDo not blast with compressed air once the fuel cir-cuit is open, otherwise impurities may enter the sys-tem. Use cleaning cloths only, if necessary.

13B

The « common rail » high pressure injection systemoperates in sequential mode (based on the multipointinjection principle for petrol engines).

Through its pre-injection process, this injection system can provide:

- reduced operating noise,

- a reduction in the amount of pollutant gases and par-ticles,

- a high engine torque at low engine speeds.

The high pressure pump generates the high pressuretransmitted to the injection rail. The actuator on thehigh pressure pump controls the volume of diesel fuelsupplied according to the demand determined by theinjection computer. The rail supplies each injectorthrough a steel pipe.

The computer:

- determines the injection pressure value necessary forthe engine to operate correctly and then operates thefuel flow actuator. It checks that the pressure value iscorrect by analysing the value transmitted by thepressure sensor located on the rail,

- determines the injection time necessary to deliver theright volume of diesel fuel and the moment when in-jection should be started,

- electrically actuates each injector individually afterdetermining these two values.

The flow injected into the engine is determined accor-ding to:

- the duration of injector actuation,

- the injector opening and closing speed,

- the needle stroke (determined by a constant for an in-jector type),

- the nominal hydraulic flow of the injector (specific toeach injector),

- the high pressure rail pressure regulated by the com-puter.

The computer manages:

- idle speed regulation,

- the exhaust gas flow reinjected into the inlet,

- the fuel supply (timing, flow and rail pressure),

- the fan assembly actuation request (function: centra-lised coolant temperature management),

- the air conditioning,

- the cruise control-speed limiter function,

- the pre/postheating actuation.

The high pressure pump is supplied at low pressure bya mechanical low pressure pump (transfer pump).

The high pressure pump supplies the rail which is pres-sure-controlled:

- for loading by the fuel flow actuator,

- for discharge by the injector valves.

Drops in pressure may also be compensated for.

The fuel flow actuator allows the high pressure pump tosupply the exact volume of diesel fuel required to main-tain the pressure in the rail. This feature allows heatgeneration to be minimised and engine output to be im-proved.

To discharge the rail, the injection valves are controlled by small electrical pulses:

- short enough not to open the injector (passing throu-gh the return circuit from the injectors),

- long enough to open the valves and discharge therail.

The injection computer actuates the fan assembly andthe coolant temperature warning light on the instru-ment panel (function: centralised coolant temperaturemanagement).

The various vehicle computers communicate via multi-plex links. The fault warning lights on the instrumentpanel are therefore activated via the multiplex network.

In the event of an impact, the function that cuts off thediesel fuel supply circuit is managed by the airbagcomputer. It gives the command via the multiplexnetwork to the injection computer to lock the injectionlocking relay control.

Equipment required

diagnostic tool

IMPORTANT

Before carrying out any work on the injection circuit, check using the diagnostic tool :

- that the rail is not pressurised,

- that the fuel temperature is not too high.

Every time work is carried out, be sure to follow thesafety and cleanliness advice specified in this docu-ment.

Loosening a high pressure pipe union when theengine is running is strictly prohibited.

13BUnlocking is only enabled after the ignition is switchedoff for 10 seconds . This operation causes the faultwarning light to come on for longer than usual whenswitching on the ignition. The warning light will not re-turn to normal operation until the fault has been clearedusing the diagnostic tool .

The vehicle speed signal is transmitted to the instru-ment panel by the ABS computer or the gearbox (vehi-cle without ABS system) via the multiplex network.

Some vehicles have a sensor for detecting water in thediesel fuel, which is located in the filter. If there is waterpresent in the diesel fuel, the orange injection warninglight comes on.

Automatic configuration for cruise control - speed limi-ter operation and for air conditioning operation.

Injection computer actuating the air conditioning com-pressor clutch via the UPC.

A new electronics casing called the « UPC » has beenadded to the vehicles wiring diagram.

The UPC supplies the following with power:

- the air conditioning compressor,

- the fan assembly,

- the electrical heating resistors.

The UPC is located in the engine compartment nearthe battery. It contributes to the protection of certainelectrical components.

In this capacity, it comprises:

- fuses,

- several internal relays including:

• the « + after ignition feed » relay,

• the fan assembly control relays,

• the air conditioning compressor relay.

These relays cannot be removed.

If the UPC is replaced, it must be configured using thediagnostic tool (see 87G, Motor exchange unit,UPC: Configuration ).

The injection computer receives a continuous signalvia the multiplex network regarding the electrical poweravailable from the alternator. This therefore preventsthe vehicle's electrical consumption from being in ex-cess of the alternator's capacity. The aim is to givepriority to charging the battery.

Reprime the circuit using the priming pump.

The system can inject the diesel fuel into the engine upto a pressure of 1350 bar . Before each operationcheck that the injection rail is no longer pressurised.

Be sure to observe the tightening torque:

- for the high pressure pipes,

- for the injector on the cylinder head,

- for the pressure sensor and pressure regulator.

WARNING

- The engine must not be run with diesel fuel contai-ning more than 10% diester or petrol, even inminute quantities.

- Dismantling the interior of the high pressure pumpand the injectors is prohibited. Only the fuel flowactuator, the diesel fuel temperature sensor andthe Venturi tube can be replaced.

- It is prohibited to remove the pressure sensor fromthe injection rail as this could cause contaminationof the circuit. If the pressure sensor is faulty,replace the assembly consisting of the pressuresensor, rail, and the five high pressure pipes.

- It is strictly prohibited to remove any injectionpump pulley bearing the number 070 575. If thepump is being replaced also replace the pulley.

- Supplying any system component directly with the+ 12 V is prohibited.

- Ultrasonic decarbonisation and cleaning are prohi-bited.

- Never start the engine unless the battery is pro-perly connected.

- Never turn the engine against its operating direc-tion.

IMPORTANT

The engine should not be run with diesel fuel con-taining more than 10% diester.

Note:

After any operation, check that there is no dieselfuel leakage. Let the engine idle until the enginecooling fan starts up, then accelerate several timesat no load.

DIESEL INJECTIONInjection warning light

K9K, and 722 or 728 or 729 or 732

13B

Vehicles fitted with the Delphi DDCR high-pressurediesel fuel system use fault warning symbols and textwarning messages, depending on the level of severityof the faults detected, to inform the customer and de-termine the correct fault finding procedure.

The injection computer controls the illumination of war-ning lights and message displays on the instrument pa-nel. The fault warning lights come on:

- during the preheating phase,

- if there is an injection fault,

- if the engine is overheating.

The warning signals are sent to the instrument panelvia the multiplex network.

WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATION PRINCIPLE.

During the starting phase (press the « Start » button,the orange preheating symbol is lit during the prehea-ting phase, then goes out) (see 13C, Preheating, Pre-postheating control ).

In the event of an injection fault (level 1), the message« Check injection » is displayed and then the« Service » warning light comes on. This means a re-duced level of operation and a limited safety level.

Repairs should be carried out as soon as possible.

These faults are associated with:

- the engine immobiliser,

- a C2l (individual injector correction) coding error,

- an injector,

- the injector controls,

- the diesel fuel supply (injector leak, etc.),

- an engine speed sensor target fault,

- the injection locking relay,

- the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve or posi-tion sensor,

- the accelerator pedal potentiometer (gangs 1 and 2),

- the accelerator pedal potentiometer supply,

- the turbocharging pressure sensor (in the event ofoverpressure),

- water in the diesel fuel or a water detection sensorfault (if fitted on vehicle.

If there is a serious injection fault (level 2), the red en-gine symbol and the word « Stop » appears (only on in-formation display), with the message « Injectionfaulty » , followed by the « Stop » warning light andbuzzer.

The faults relate to:

- with delayed stop: the fuel flow actuator (loop discre-pancy and overpressure),

- with immediate stop:

• the engine speed sensor,

• the diesel flow actuator,

• the rail pressure sensor,

• the supply to all the injectors,

• the sensor supply voltage,

• an internal computer fault.

If the engine overheats, the engine temperature faultsymbol appears with the message « Engineoverheating » (only on information display) followed bythe « Stop » warning light and buzzer. If this happens,the vehicle will stop immediately.

DIESEL INJECTIONInjection / air conditioning programming

K9K, and 722 or 728 or 729

13B

The air conditioning management is shared betweenseveral computers that communicate via the multiplexnetwork.

It is of the « cold loop » type.

The injection computer is responsible for:

- managing the cooling request according to passengercompartment commands and the circuit pressure va-lue,

- calculating the power absorbed by the compressorfrom the circuit pressure value,

- authorising engine cooling fan control in accordancewith vehicle speed and circuit pressure,

- authorising or inhibiting engagement of the compres-sor clutch.

When the air conditioning is switched on, the air condi-tioning control panel requests authorisation to engagethe compressor clutch.

The injection computer authorises or inhibits compres-sor clutch engagement, controls the fan assembly viathe UPC and imposes an increased idle speed.

This engine speed is 900 rpm depending on how muchpower is absorbed by the compressor.

The injection computer authorises operation of the air conditioning compressor and the fan unit (both sup-plied by the UPC), according to the following condi-tions:

- engine coolant temperature,

- vehicle speed,

- climate control.

The signals used for the air conditioning function are transmitted via:

- track A A4 « CAN HIGH » multiplex connection,

- track A A3 « CAN LOW » multiplex connection.

The connections between the injection computer and the refrigerant pressure sensor are:

- C C3 refrigerant pressure sensor signal,

- C C4 refrigerant pressure sensor supply,

- C G3 refrigerant pressure sensor earth.

I - COMPRESSOR OPERATION PROGRAMMING

During certain operating phases, the injection compu-ter disables the operation of the compressor.

1 - Engine starting programming

The operation of the air conditioning compressor is in-hibited for 1 second after the engine has started.

2 - Thermal protection programming

The air conditioning compressor is not engaged if theengine temperature is above 115˚C or above 110˚C athigh engine speeds, 4500 rpm for more than 10 se-conds .

3 - Fan unit control programming

With the engine idling or when driving, with the air con-ditioning on, the fan unit is activated at high or lowspeed, according to the refrigerant pressure and thevehicle speed.

4 - Recovery of performance

If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly (more than75 % of its travel), the compressor is disengaged for 5seconds .

5 - Recovery of power when moving off

To assist the vehicle moving away, the air conditioningcompressor is disengaged if the accelerator pedal tra-vel is greater than 30 % and the engine speed is lessthan 1250 rpm .

6 - Anti-stalling function

The air conditioning compressor is disengaged if theengine speed is less than 740 rpm .

Note:

For vehicles fitted with engine concerned (see MR370 Mechanics, Scénic II ).

Note:

The value of parameter ( PR044 ) « power absor-bed by the air conditioning compressor » is never 0,whatever the status of the air conditioning compres-sor. The minimum reading is approximately 250 W .

The air conditioning compressor is of the « variabledisplacement » type.

13B7 - Engine overspeed timed protection programming

The air conditioning compressor is disengaged if theengine speed is above 4500 rpm for more than 3 se-conds .

II - PASSENGER COMPARTMENT HEATING RESISTORS OPERATION PROGRAMMING

To reduce the heating time, fit air heating resistorsknown as « passenger compartment heatingresistors » in the passenger compartment heating cir-cuit.

The UCH determines the need to actuate the heatingresistors, according to the user's request.

The injection computer determines:

- the number of heating resistors supplied (power con-trol limitation) depending on the alternator charge,

- whether resistor operation should be disabled, accor-ding to engine speed, load and vehicle speed.

The heating resistors are supplied by the UPC.

At the request of the resistors, the fast idle speed beco-mes 900 rpm .

III - PASSENGER COMPARTMENT HEATING RESISTORS OPERATION PROGRAMMING

During certain operating phases, the injection compu-ter disables the passenger compartment heating resis-tors.

1 - Engine start programming

Operation of passenger compartment heating resistorsis prohibited for 20 seconds after the engine is started.

2 - Performance return programming under heavy load

Under heavy load at low engine speeds the heating re-sistors are temporarily disabled.

Input conditions:

- engine speed less than 3000 rpm ,

- and vehicle speed less than 78 mph (130 km/h) .

Output conditions:

- engine speed above 3500 rpm ,

- and vehicle speed greater than 90 mph (150 km/h)(by way of information).

3 - Performance return programming for hill starts

To assist hill starts, the heating resistors are tempora-rily disabled.

Input conditions:

- engine speed less than 900 rpm ,

- and vehicle speed less than 2.4 mph (4 km/h) ,

- and gearbox in neutral.

Output conditions:

- engine speed greater than 2500 rpm ,

- or vehicle speed greater than 3.6 mph (6 km/h)

- or a gear is engaged.

4 - Stalling prevention programming

When the engine speed falls below 760 rpm , opera-tion of passenger compartment heating resistors is in-terrupted. When engine speed rises above 750 rpm ,the passenger compartment heating resistors are re-enabled.

Note:

There is always a delay of more than 10 secondsafter the air conditioning compressor is disengagedbefore it can be disengaged again.

13BThe air conditioning management is shared betweenseveral computers that communicate via the multiplexnetwork.

When the air conditioning is switched on, the air condi-tioning control panel requests authorisation to engagethe compressor clutch.

The injection computer authorises or inhibits the com-pressor clutch, and controls the fan assembly via theUPC.

When the air conditioning function is selected, theidling speed is not altered.

The signals used for the air conditioning function are transmitted via:

- track A A4 « CAN HIGH » multiplex connection,

- track A A3 « CAN LOW » multiplex connection.

This compressor is the variable output type.

I - AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR OPERATION PROGRAMMING

During certain operating phases, the injection compu-ter disables the compressor.

1 - Engine start programming

Air conditioning compressor operation is inhibited for 2seconds after the engine has started.

2 - Thermal protection programming

The air conditioning compressor is not engaged if theengine coolant temperature is above 115 ˚C , it is re-engaged if the engine coolant temperature falls below115 ˚C .

This vehicle is equipped with heating resistors locatedin the air conditioning unit.

These heating resistors are designed to heat up the airwhich is then directed to the passenger compartment.

When the heating resistors are activated, the injectioncomputer adopts a fast idling speed. This enginespeed is 900 rpm .

3 - Recovery of power when moving off

To help the vehicle start moving, the air conditioningcompressor is engaged if the accelerator pedal posi-tion is above 25 % , the engine speed is below 1350rpm and the vehicle speed is below 3 mph (5 km/h) .

4 - Anti-stalling function

The air conditioning compressor is disengaged if theengine speed is below 750 rpm .

It is re-engaged if the engine speed exceeds 780 rpm .

II - PASSENGER COMPARTMENT HEATING RESISTORS OPERATION PROGRAMMING

During certain operating phases, the injection compu-ter disables the heating resistors.

1 - Engine start programming

The heating resistors are disabled while the heaterplugs are in operation.

When the engine starts, the heating resistor supply isauthorised after a delay that depends on the enginecoolant temperature.

2 - Stalling prevention programming

When the engine speed falls below 800 rpm , opera-tion of the heating resistors is interrupted. When theengine speed falls below 875 rpm , operation of theheating resistors is authorised.

II - IDLE SPEED CORRECTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL POTENTIOMETER FAULT

- If one of the two accelerator pedal potentiometertracks is faulty, the injection computer forces an idlespeed of 1300 rpm . This defect mode limits perfor-mance. The « Check injection » message lights up,followed by the « Service » warning light.

- If the accelerator pedal potentiometer is jammed, nolonger supplied, or is no longer sending an output si-gnal, the injection computer imposes an idle speed of1300 rpm . This defect mode limits performance. The« Check injection » message lights up, followed bythe « Service » warning light.

- If there is inconsistency between the accelerator pe-dal potentiometer signal and the brake switch signal,the injection computer imposes an idle speed of 1300rpm .

III - IDLE SPEED CORRECTION IN THE EVENT OF AN INJECTOR C2I CODING ERROR

In the event of an injector C2I coding error (individualadjustment of the injector flow), the injection computerforces an idle speed of 1300 rpm . This defect mode li-mits performance. The « Check injection » message li-ghts up, followed by the « Service » warning light.

IV - IDLE SPEED CORRECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN

At normal engine operating temperature, the idle speed is modified according to the gear engaged:

- in neutral, the speed is 805 rpm ,

- in 1stand 2ndgear, the speed is 875 rpm ,

- in 3rdand 4thgear, the speed is 900 rpm ,

- in 5thgear, the speed is 950 rpm .

Note:

For vehicles fitted with K9K 732 engines (see MR370 Mechanics, Scénic II ).

Note:

At normal engine operating temperature, withoutmajor electrical consumers, the engine idling speedis 805 ±±±± 50 rpm .

This system allows the engine cooling fan to be con-trolled by the injection computer. It consists of a singletemperature sensor serving injection, the engine coo-ling fan, the temperature indicator and the instrumentpanel engine coolant temperature warning light.

The request to operate the engine cooling fan is madeby the injection computer through the multiplexnetwork.

I - FAN ASSEMBLY OPERATION WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING

The fan assembly is controlled:

- at low speed if the engine coolant temperature ex-ceeds 99 ˚C or in the event of a coolant temperaturesensor fault and stops when the temperature falls be-low 96 ˚C ,

- at high speed if the engine coolant temperature ex-ceeds 102 ˚C or if the low speed is faulty and stopswhen the temperature falls below 99 ˚C .

The fan assembly low and high speeds are controlledwhen the air conditioning function is selected on theinstrument panel.

The fan will operate at high speed under the low speedoperating conditions if low speed is faulty.

II - OPERATION OF THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT

The warning light is actuated by the injection computervia the multiplex network.

The warning light is continuously lit if the coolant tem-perature exceeds 118˚C . It goes out when the tempe-rature drops below 115 ˚C .

Note:

For vehicles fitted with K9K 732 engines (see MR370 Mechanics, Scénic II ).

13BREPLACING THE INJECTORS

The correction values are written on a label affixed toeach injector then entered in the computer which canthen control each injector by taking account of their dif-ferences in manufacture.

The system can be configured at the diagnostic socketusing the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic tools.

The C2I parameters must be renewed after an injector is replaced. To do this, the C2I parameters must be re-entered into the computer using the following com-mands:

- To enter the four C2Is when replacing the computer,run the SC002 « Enter injector codes » .

- To enter an individual C2I parameter, when replacing one or more injectors, enter the following commands:

• cylinder 1 injector: control VP001 (flywheel end cy-linder),

• cylinder 2 injector, command: control VP002 ,

• cylinder injector 3: control VP003 ,

• cylinder injector 4: control VP004 .

By using the relevant command, the technician can re-enter the new C2I parameters for the injector replacedand delete the old C2I parameters.

Note:

The C2I (individual injector correction) parametersare a factory calibration carried out on each injectorto adjust the flow of each injector precisely, takinginto account differences in manufacture.

Note:

Only after replacing all four injectors at once, resetthe injector programming adaptives using theRZ004 « Pressure regulation adaptives » .

INJECTORS

A 6-character « alphanumeric » code known as theIMA (Injector Flow Correction) is marked on the injec-tors. This code is specific to each injector, and takesinto account manufacturing dispersion and specifiesthe flow of the injector.

When one or more injectors is replaced, the code of thenew injector(s) must be programmed into the compu-ter. If this operation is not carried out then the enginespeed will be limited to 1800 rpm .

Follow the procedure described below:

- Replace the faulty injector(s) and establish dialogue with the computer:

• read the data on the replaced injector(s),

• enter them into the computer using the diagnostictool CLIP,

• make sure, using the diagnostic tool CLIP, that thecomputer has not detected any faults relating to theinjector codes and that the instrument panel warninglight is off.

- When a computer is reprogrammed or replaced, it isnecessary to program the codes of the four injectorsinto the new computer.

There are two possibilities:

- if it is possible to enter into dialogue with the computer again:

• download the data from the old computer into thediagnostic tool CLIP,

• replace the computer,

• transfer the data from the diagnostic tool CLIP tothe new computer,

• make sure, using the diagnostic tool CLIP, that thecomputer has not detected any faults relating to theinjector codes and that the instrument panel warninglight is off.

- if it is not possible to establish dialogue with the computer:

• replace the computer,

• read the data from the injectors,

• enter them into the computer using the diagnostictool CLIP,

• reconfigure the computer for the equipment (air con-ditioning),

• make sure, using the diagnostic tool CLIP, that thecomputer has not detected any faults relating to theinjector codes and that the instrument panel warninglight is off.

II - OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The tank is vented by means of the fuel vapour absor-ber.

Fuel vapour is trapped by the active charcoal contai-ned in the absorber as it passes through.

Fuel vapour trapped in the absorber is eliminated andburnt by the engine.

To do this, connect the fuel vapour absorber and the in-let manifold via the solenoid valve. This solenoid valveis located on the shock absorber cup.

The principle behind the solenoid valve is to open apassage of variable size (according to the opening cy-clic ratio signal sent by the injection computer).

The variation in the passage opened for fuel vapour inthe solenoid valve results from the balance betweenthe magnetic field created by the supply to the windingand the return spring force attempting to close the so-lenoid valve.

CHECKING THE FUEL VAPOUR ABSORBER

On the fuel vapour absorber, cap the circuit comingfrom the tank.

Connect a pressure gauge on tool (Mot. 1311-01) tothe absorber breather outlet.

With the engine at idle speed, check that there is novacuum at the absorber breather outlet (under thesame conditions, the command value read by thediagnostic tool in parameter: Fuel vapour absorberbleed solenoid valve OCR remains minimal ( Xlower than or equal to 1.5 % ).

Is there a vacuum?

- Yes: with the ignition off, use a vacuum pump to apply a vacuum of 500 mbar to the solenoid valve outlet . The vacuum pressure should not vary by more than 10 mbar over 30 seconds .

Does the pressure vary?

• Yes: the solenoid valve is faulty, replace it.

• No: there is an electrical fault, check the circuit.

- No: under bleeding conditions (see « bleedingconditions » ), the vacuum should increase (at thesame time the parameter value on the diagnostictool should also increase).

CHECKING THE FUEL VAPOUR ABSORBER TANK CONNECTION

Check this connection by connecting a vacuumpump to the pipe going to the absorber.

14AI - THE CIRCUIT

II - PURPOSE OF THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM

Exhaust gas recirculation is used to reduce the nitro-gen oxide (NOx) content of the exhaust gases.

The computer regulates the passage of gases by ac-tuating a solenoid valve.

III - OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The solenoid valve is controlled by an opening cyclicratio signal issued by the injection computer. The ope-ning cyclic ratio signal modulates the opening of thesolenoid valve, and consequently the quantity of ex-haust gas directed back to the inlet manifold.

The computer runs a constant test to keep track of theposition of the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid val-ve.

IV - OPERATING CONDITIONS

The following parameters determine actuation of the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve:

- coolant temperature,

- air temperature,

- atmospheric pressure,

- accelerator pedal position,

- diesel injected,

- engine speed.

Operating point for checking the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve

The exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve is actua-ted if:

- the air temperature is between -30˚C and 67 ˚C , in-clusive,

- or the coolant temperature is between 0˚C and 127˚Cinclusive,

- the engine speed is above 500 rpm ,

- the diesel fuel injection flow is between 10 and 31mg/stroke inclusive,

- the atmospheric pressure is above 421 mbar .

If so, the diagnostic tool indicates an exhaust gas recir-culation solenoid valve position opening cylinder ratiovalue equal to 4 and 60% .

Exhaust gas recirculation is cut off if:

- the battery voltage is below 9 V ,

- the engine speed is below 500 rpm ,

- the mapping (engine speed - load) exceeds a thres-hold,

- the air conditioning compressor is actuated.

The exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve is notsupplied after starting for 2 seconds .

The exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve is no lon-ger supplied if there is a fault on:

- the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve,

- the turbocharging pressure sensor,

14AI - DIAGRAM

II - PURPOSE OF THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM

Exhaust gas recirculation is used to reduce the nitro-gen oxide (NOX) content of the exhaust gases.

The injection computer authorises gas passage by run-ning an electric motor which actuates a valve linkingthe exhaust manifold and the inlet manifold.

III - OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The principle of the exhaust gas recirculation consistsof reintroducing some of the exhaust fumes into the en-gine air breathing cycle.

The EGR valve is controlled by a direct current motor.

14AI - THE CIRCUIT

II - PURPOSE OF THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM

Exhaust gas recirculation is used to reduce the con-centration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust fumes.

The computer regulates the passage of gases by ac-tuating a solenoid valve.

III - OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The solenoid valve is controlled by an opening cyclicratio signal issued by the injection computer. The ope-ning cyclic ratio signal modulates the opening of thesolenoid valve, and consequently the quantity of ex-haust gas directed back to the inlet manifold.

The computer runs a constant test to keep track of theposition of the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid val-ve.

IV - OPERATING CONDITIONS

The following parameters determine actuation of the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve:

- coolant temperature,

- air temperature,

- atmospheric pressure,

- accelerator pedal position,

- diesel injected,

- engine speed.

17BI - THROTTLE BODY

The throttle valve ensures that idle speed regulationand engine air intake modulation are performed cor-rectly. It is composed of an electric motor and twothrottle position potentiometers.

When the engine is idling, the throttle position is regu-lated according to the idle speed setpoint. This setpointtakes into account the major power consumers (airconditioning) and operating conditions (air temperatureand coolant temperature).

When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, hisrequest is translated into an angle of throttle opening.

However, to improve driving pleasure, the throttle ope-ning is not directly proportional to the driver’s request.

To eliminate misfires, facilitate gear changes and per-form the safety functions, the throttle valve modulatesthe engine torque.

II - THROTTLE VALVE DEFECT MODES

There are four types of defect mode for the throttle val-ve.

1 - Reduced performance mode

This mode covers electrical faults for which there is aviable backup solution for the injection system (loss ofone of the two tracks on the pedal potentiometer or thethrottle valve). This mode limits acceleration and res-tricts maximum throttle opening (maximum speed of 56mph (90 km/h) (manual gearbox) and 62 mph (100km/h) (automatic transmission).

2 - Loss of driver intervention mode:

This mode is also known as « electrical defect mode ». This mode is applied when the accelerator pedal si-gnal disappears completely, but the injection computerstill controls the intake of air to the engine (automaticthrottle control is still operational). In this mode, the in-jection computer imposes a set accelerator pedal posi-tion for each gear ratio and imposes the idle speedwhen the brake pedal is depressed. In this case themaximum engine speed in neutral is 2500 rpm .

3 - Mechanical limp home mode

This mode covers faults resulting in loss of automaticthrottle control (ie it is impossible to operate the thrott-le). In this case, the throttle is returned to its mechani-cal rest position, the injection computer limits theengine speed by cutting injection and limits torque bycutting out the cylinders (ignition and injection) accor-

ding to the position of the accelerator. Therefore, themaximum engine speed under full load or in neutral is2500 rpm .

4 - Pedal information mode

If the signal from the inlet manifold vacuum is lost, ope-ning of the throttle is directly proportional to pressureon the accelerator pedal.

Note:

Each of these modes results in the injection faultwarning light on the instrument panel lighting up.

The purpose of this correction is to compensate for thedrop in voltage due to a power consumer being swit-ched on when the battery is not sufficiently charged. Itstarts when the voltage falls below 12.7 V and may in-crease the engine speed by a maximum of 160 rpm ,i.e. to 860 rpm .

Note:

If the engine is started when the coolant tempera-ture is between 15˚C and 30˚C and, as a result, theengine speed remains at idle speed, the enginespeed will decrease progressively. This drop inengine speed is due to an antipollution functionwhen the engine is started (oxygen sensor heatingresistors starting).

17BI - ADAPTIVE IDLE SPEED CORRECTION

Principle

In normal warm-engine operating conditions, the idlespeed OCR PR091 varies between a high and low va-lue to obtain the nominal idle speed.

It is possible that following variations in the operation ofthe vehicle (running in, fitting the engine, etc.), that theidle speed opening cyclic ratio could approach to thehighest or lowest values.

Adaptive correction PR090 on the idle speed OCRenables the engine's air requirement to be variedslowly by bringing the opening cyclic ratio back to anaverage nominal value.

This adjustment only takes effect if the coolant tempe-rature is above 75˚C and for 1 minute after enginestart and during the idle speed regulation phase.

II - IDLE SPEED OPENING CYLIC RATIO AND ITS ADAPTIVE CORRECTION

- PR055: « engine speed »

• 750 rpm

- PR032: « Intake pressure »

• 300 mbar < or = X < or = 400 mbar

- PR091: « idle speed regulation theoretic opening cyclic ratio »

• 6 % < or = X < or = 22 %

- PR090: « Idling speed regulation programmed value »

• minimum stop: - 6.25 %

• maximum stop: + 6.25%

III - INTERPRETATION OF THESE PARAMETERS

« If there is excess air » (air leak, incorrectly adjustedthrottle stop, etc.), the engine speed increases at idlingspeed. The idle opening cyclic ratio value decreases toreturn to nominal idle speed; the idle opening cyclic ra-tio adaptive correction decreases to recentre the idleopening cyclic ratio.

« If there is insufficient air » (clogging, etc.), the logic isreversed: the idle opening cyclic ratio and the adaptivecorrection increase, to refocus operation of the idlespeed regulation.

WARNING

After the computer memory has been cleared, it isimperative to start the engine, stop it, then leave itrunning at idle speed so that the adaptive correctioncan recalibrate itself correctly.

An engine operating with the S 3000 computer is fittedwith two oxygen sensors called the upstream sensorand the downstream sensor after their position on thecatalytic converter.

I - SENSOR HEATING

Oxygen sensor heating is controlled by the computer if all of the following conditions are met:

- the inlet manifold pressure is below a threshold whichdepends on a function table of the engine speed,

- the road speed is below ( 84 mph (135 km/h) ,

- after a certain mapped engine operating time whichdepends on the engine's top dead centre (excludingno load operation) and the coolant temperature.

Oxygen sensor heating is stopped if the following con-ditions are met:

- the vehicle speed is greater than 85 mph (140 km/h)(value given for information only),

- when the engine is under heavy load.

II - UPSTREAM SENSOR VOLTAGE

Reading parameter PR098: « upstream oxygen sensor voltage » on the diagnostic tool

The value read represents the voltage supplied to thecomputer by the oxygen sensor located upstream ofthe catalytic converter. It is expressed in millivolts. Witha « looped engine » (when the engine corrects the rich-ness according to the two sensors, the engine is said tobe « looped » ); the voltage should oscillate quicklybetween two values:

- 100 mV and 450 mV for a lean mixture,

- 450 mV and 900 mV for a rich mixture.

III - DOWNSTREAM SENSOR VOLTAGE

Reading parameter PR099: « downstream oxygen sensor voltage » on the diagnostic tool

The value read represents the voltage supplied to thecomputer by the oxygen sensor located upstream ofthe catalytic converter, expressed in millivolts.

The function of this sensor is to locate faults on the ca-talytic converter and to perform a second, more preci-se, check on the richness. This second richness checkis called the « slow regulation loop » . This function isactivated only after the engine has been operating for acertain time.

When the engine is « looped » (when the computercorrects the richness according to the two sensors, theengine is said to be « looped » ), the voltage should bein the region of 600 mV (except at idle speed when itmay be difficult to stabilise). When the vehicle is dece-lerating, the voltage should be approximately 100 mV .

IV - RICHNESS CORRECTION

The richness correction value read on the diagnostictool i n p a r a m e t e r PR 138: « RICHNESSCORRECTION » represents the average of the rich-ness corrections applied by the computer dependingon the richness of the fuel mixture as determined bythe oxygen sensor located upstream of the catalyticconverter (the oxygen sensor in fact analyses the oxy-gen content of the exhaust gas).

The centre point of the correction value is 50% and theend value 0 to 100% .

- value less than 50% : request for decrease in rich-ness,

- value above 50% : request for increase in richness.

VI - DEFECT MODE IN THE EVENT OF AN OXYGEN SENSOR FAULT

In looping phase, the richness regulation corrects theinjection time to obtain fuel dosing as close as possibleto a richness of 1. Richness correction value PR138 isclose to 50% , with stop values of 0 and 100% .

Adaptive richness corrections PR143 and PR144 allowthe injection map to be shifted to recentre richness re-gulation at 50 % .

Adaptive corrections take 50% as the average valueafter reinitialising the computer (clearing the memory),and have end values.

Deactivation of the adaptive programs in the case of prolonged idle speed regulation with a hot engine

If the coolant temperature is above 90˚C while idling formore than 10 minutes (K4M engine) and 1 minute(K4J engine), the adaptives are fixed until the end ofidling.

Programming conditions for adaptive richness correction

- Warm engine: coolant temperature above 80˚C ,

- do not exceed an engine speed of 4640 rpm

- disconnect the fuel vapour absorber by the solenoidvalve or block the inlet pipe on the engine.

Following this test the adjustments will be operational.The test should be followed by normal, smooth and va-ried driving over a distance of 3 to 6 miles (5 to 10 km). After the test, read the adaptive values. Initially 50% ,they should have changed. If not, take the readingsagain, taking care to observe the test conditions strict-ly.

The fan assembly is controlled by the injection compu-ter.

I - ANTI-PERCOLATION FUNCTION

The anti-percolation function is controlled by the injec-tion computer.

The coolant temperature signal used is that from the in-jection system.

After switching the ignition off, the system enters moni-toring mode. If the coolant temperature exceeds thethreshold 103˚C for 5 minutes after the engine hasbeen switched off, the low-speed fan assembly is acti-vated.

After switching the ignition off, the system enters moni-toring mode. If the coolant temperature exceeds 110˚Cfor 2 minutes after the engine has been switched off,the low-speed fan assembly is activated.

If the coolant temperature falls below 100˚C again, thefan assembly relay is cut-out (the fan assembly cannotbe activated for more than 10 minutes ).

II - FAN ASSEMBLY OPERATION

The fan unit is operated at low speed if the coolant tem-perature exceeds 98˚C and stops when the temperatu-re falls below 96˚C .

The fan assembly is operated at high speed if the coo-lant temperature exceeds 102˚C and stops when thetemperature falls below 99˚C .

III - OPERATION OF THE TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT

PETROL INJECTIONCamshaft dephaser: Description

F4R, and 770 or 771 – K4M, and 760 or 761

17BI - SPECIAL NOTES

Its role is to modify the valve timing.

To improve cylinder filling at all speeds, K4M and F4Rengines are fitted with an inlet camshaft dephaser (1) .

Dephasing at the moment when the inlet valves closeoptimises filling according to engine speed. Midrangetorque and output are improved.

Leaving the inlet valves open for longer at high enginespeed allows the mixture to be continually admittedowing to its high speed.

However, at lower engine speeds the gases do nothave a high level of inertia. It is therefore preferable toclose the inlet valves earlier to avoid incorrect fillingand a loss of torque due to the reflux of fresh gases.

The higher the engine speed, the later the inlet valvesmust be closed.

II - OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING

The oil is supplied to the dephaser by a solenoid valve(2) located on the cylinder head.

The supply by a variable opening cyclic ratio signal(amplitude 12 V , frequency 250 Hz ) enables oil to bedistributed to the mechanism and the dephaser angleto be adjusted.

The operation of the camshaft dephaser varies conti-nuously.

The computer supplies the solenoid valve with a varia-ble opening cyclic ratio proportional to the desired de-phasing.

Dephasing is varied continuously from 0 to 43˚ of thecrankshaft.

The camshaft dephaser control solenoid valve is con-trolled if the following conditions are met:

- no speed sensor fault,

- no camshaft position sensor fault,

- no injection system faults,

- after the engine has started,

- outside idling speed and no load,

- threshold of mapping according to load and enginespeed reached,

III - OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING

The dephaser is controlled in an all or nothing systemby the injection computer using a solenoid valve (3) lo-cated on the rocker cover.

From 1,500 to 4,300 rpm , the computer supplies thesolenoid valve.

Above 4,300 rpm , the solenoid valve is not supplied.The position of the mechanism improves filling at highspeeds. In this position, a locking piston locks the me-chanism.

At rest, the solenoid valve is in the closed position. It authorises the flow of oil to control the dephaser when the following conditions are met:

- no speed sensor fault,

- no camshaft position sensor fault,

- no injection system faults,

- after the engine has started,

- outside idling speed,

- battery voltage > 11.4 V ,

- coolant temperature above 30˚C ,

- engine speed between 1,500 and 4,300 rpm ,

- charge > 87% (approximately 900 mbar ).

PETROL INJECTIONFault finding warning light activation conditions (when driving) 17B

I - FAULTS CAUSING ACTIVATION OF THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC WARNING LIGHT

1 - Electrical fault

Continuous illumination of the light after several conse-cutive detections of a fault (depending on the compo-nent).

2 - Combustion misfiring that could destroy the catalytic converter

Immediate illumination and flashing of the warning li-ght.

3 - Catalytic converter or oxygen sensor fault, polluting misfires

Continuous illumination of the light after a fault is de-tected three times consecutively.

II - MANAGEMENT OF THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) WARNING LIGHT

1 - Warning light comes on

If the same OBD fault is detected during three conse-cutive journeys or there is an electrical fault.

2 - Warning light flashes

If misfires that could destroy the catalytic converter aredetected.

3 - Light goes out

If the OBD fault does not reappear in three consecutivejourneys the warning light goes out, but the fault will bestored in the injection computer.

The fault must not be detected for 40consecutive journeys for the a stored fault to be clea-red from the computer without using the fault finding to-ol.

WARNING

The diagnostics of the catalytic converter and ups-tream oxygen sensor are sequential and are run:

- once when driving (they take several seconds pertest),

- only under certain specific driving conditions.

Under certain driving conditions, it may be the casethat fault finding for certain functions are not perfor-med (e.g. when in a traffic jam).

Note:

The fault may not be re-detected:

- if the fault is fleeting in nature,

- due to the driving style of the customer, which maynot always cover all of the fault detection condi-tions.

Page 856: MR364MEGANE1-1

17B-45

PETROL INJECTIONConditions for carrying out fault finding (when driving) 17B

I - CONDITIONS FOR ENTERING FAULT FINDING MODE

If, when the ignition is switched on and when driving,the air temperature read by the temperature sensor isnot between -7.5˚C and 119.39˚C , if the coolant tem-perature read by the sensor is not between -7.5˚C and119.39˚C , or if the difference between 1046 mbar andthe manifold pressure is greater than 273 mbar (altitu-de of about 2500 metres), OBD is not authorised untilthe ignition is switched on again.

In order for the On Board Diagnostic system to functioncorrectly, there must be no electrical fault in the injec-tion system, even if the OBD warning light does notcome on.

Fault finding of the oxygen sensor and the catalyticconverter can never be performed at the same time.

When the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor faultfinding procedures are in progress, the fuel vapour ab-sorber bleed is closed and the richness adaptive para-meters are frozen at their last value.

II - TEST PROCEDURE

Before performing the tests, carry out the following in the sequence shown:

- repair all electrical faults,

- clear all faults,

- carry out injection system programming,

- check the OBD system.

III - COMPLETE INITIALISATION OF THE OBD

In order to reinitialise the OBD function, it is necessary to carry out following operations:

- clear stored faults,

- clear OBD faults,

- clear all programming.

IV - PROGRAMMING NECESSARY FOR OBD

Programming must be reinitialised when replacing:

- an injection computer,

- an engine flywheel target,

- an engine speed sensor.

1 - Engine flywheel target programming

In third gear, accelerate twice in succession to 4000rpm , then decelerate to power take-up speed.

Power take-up speed is the moment when, during de-celeration under no load and the injection cut out, thecomputer authorises injection again.

2 - Programming of richness adaptive parameters

To perform this programming, the vehicle must be dri-ven within the pressure ranges (see 17A, Petrol injec-tion, Adaptive richness correction ).

Page 857: MR364MEGANE1-1

17B-46

PETROL INJECTIONCombustion misfire fault finding 17B

The purpose of detecting misfiring is to detect any mal-functions which could cause hydrocarbon pollutantemissions to exceed the OBD limit, or cause damageto the catalytic converter.

I - THE FAULT FINDING SYSTEM CAN DETECT:

- clogging or flooding of a spark plug,

- clogging of the injectors or an injector flow fault,

- incorrect operation of the supply system (pressure re-gulator, fuel pump, etc.),

- a faulty connection in the petrol or injection circuits(coil secondary, etc.).

II - MEASUREMENT OF ENGINE MISFIRINGS

Fault finding is performed by measuring the instanta-neous variations in engine rotation speed.

If a drop in torque is detected, this is an indication ofmisfiring. Misfiring results in a drop in engine torquebelow a predetermined threshold.

This fault finding is practically continuous while the caris being driven. If it is not carried out, or if a fault is de-tected, all other OBD fault finding (catalytic converterand upstream oxygen sensor) will be prevented.

III - THE FAULT FINDING STRATEGY ENABLES TWO TYPES OF FAULT TO BE DISTINGUISHED:

- Destructive misfiring - over 15% - resulting in catalyticconverter damage. It causes the injection warning li-ght to flash immediately.

- Pollutant misfiring - below 15% - causing the OBDpollution limit to be exceeded. It causes the injectionwarning light to come on if it is detected during threeconsecutive journeys.

IV - CONDITIONS FOR DETECTION

Check that programming has been correctly carriedout.

Check that the prerequisites for switching on the igni-tion and for detecting misfiring correspond.

Detection is carried out as soon as the coolant tempe-rature is above 7.5˚C , in three operating rangesbetween idle speed and 4,500 rpm .

The pollutant misfiring test can also be carried out bymaintaining the engine at idle speed with all the powerconsumers on for 10 minutes .

V - REPAIR CONFIRMATION

Using the tool diagnostic tool , check:

Following this test, if the diagnostic tool has indicatedmisfiring faults DF065 , DF059 , DF060 , DF061 , orDF062 , refer to the appropriate fault finding procedurefor the symptom concerned.

Equipment required

diagnostic tool

Note:

- In comparison to the Sagem 2000 injection, Sagem 3000 has the following functions:

• injection cut-off to cylinders causing misfiring,

• appearance of a fault indicating non-conformityof the flywheel target.

- If distortion of the target is too marked, the compu-ter cannot implement an adjustment that is suffi-cient to detect misfiring correctly.

WARNING

At the end of this test, it is essential that the ignitionis not switched off before the result is read on thediagnostic tool. Switching the ignition off will lead tothe results being misinterpreted.

PETROL INJECTIONCatalytic converter fault finding 17B

The purpose of catalytic converter fault finding is to de-tect a fault which could cause hydrocarbon pollutantemissions to exceed the OBD limit.

The catalytic converter's capacity to store oxygen is in-dicative of its condition. As the catalytic converterages, its capacity to store oxygen reduces along withits ability to treat pollutant gases.

I - CONDITIONS FOR STARTING FAULT FINDING

Fault finding on the catalytic converter can only be car-ried out after the engine has been running for about 16.5 minutes , and if all the necessary conditions for switching on the ignition are still met:

- no electrical faults,

- no misfiring detected,

- no catalytic converter fault finding performed sincethe ignition was switched on,

- programming has been carried out,

- main loop and double loop active,

- coolant temperature higher than 75˚C ,

- engine speed read by the diagnostic tool as between1472 rpm and 3868 rpm .

II - FAULT DETECTION

Fault finding is carried out when driving under stabi-lised conditions.

When the conditions for starting fault finding are met,richness excitation peaks are applied, which has theeffect of sending bursts of oxygen into the catalyticconverter.

1 - If the catalytic converter is functioning normally

It absorbs oxygen and the voltage of downstream oxy-gen sensor PR099 remains at an average value.

2 - If it needs replacing

It rejects the oxygen and downstream oxygen sensorPR099 starts to pulse. The voltage of the oxygen sen-sor fluctuates (the OBD warning light comes on afterthree journeys).

III - REPAIR CONFIRMATION

If after the test, the diagnostic tool has detected a cata-lytic converter fault DF110: « Catalytic converter »refer to the fault finding procedure for this fault.

WARNING

At the end of this test, it is essential that the ignitionis not switched off before the result is read on thediagnostic tool. Switching off the ignition will lead tothe results being misinterpreted.

PETROL INJECTIONOxygen sensor fault finding 17B

The purpose of fault finding on the upstream oxygensensor is to detect faults that would cause emissions ofhydrocarbon, carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxide to ex-ceed the OBD limit. It is carried out by measuring andcomparing periods of upstream oxygen sensor vibra-tion.

I - POSSIBLE CAUSES OF FAULTS

There are possible types of fault in the upstream oxy-gen sensor:

- mechanical damage to an electrical component(breakage, cut in wire) which leads to an electricalfault,

- chemical damage to the component, which causesthe response time of the sensor to slow down, thus in-creasing its switching period.

II - CONDITIONS FOR STARTING FAULT FINDING

When test conditions are reached, the computer takesan average of sensor cycle readings PR121« Average upstream oxygen sensor cycle » , takingaway the effects of interference, which is compared toan average OBD limit cycle.

III - TEST CONDITIONS

Fault finding on the oxygen sensor can only be carried out after the engine has been running for about 15 mi-nutes , and if all the necessary conditions for switching on the ignition are still met:

- no electrical faults detected,

- programming has been carried out,

- no oxygen sensor fault finding performed since theignition was switched on,

- no misfiring detected,

- coolant temperature higher than 75˚C ,

- engine speed given by the diagnostic tool as between1472 rpm and 3868 rpm .

- manifold pressure between 292 mbar and 900 mbar .

IV - FAULT DETECTION

Fault finding is carried out when driving, according tothe conditions previously outlined, and prevents fuelvapours bleeding from the absorber.

V - REPAIR CONFIRMATION

If, after the test, the diagnostic tool has detected anupstream oxygen sensor fault DF092: « Upstreamoxygen sensor circuit » refer to the fault finding pro-cedure for this fault.

COOLING SYSTEMGeneral information 19A

When a faulty vehicle arrives, check:

- the condition and tension of the water pump drivebelt,

- that the fan, the radiator and the radiator grille are notobstructed by an object which may impede the flow ofair.

Vehicles in the current range have cooling circuits with the following basic specifications:

- Pressurised sealed circuit (expansion bottle valve),

- circuit using type « D » coolant only.

IMPORTANT

The circuits are designed to be pressurised; takecare at high temperatures (risk of ser ious scalding).

Never remove the valve from the expansion bottlewhile the engine is hot.

Similarly, take care when working under the bonnet,as the radiator fan(s) may start up unexpectedly.

Do not open the bleed valve(s) while the engine isrunning.

WARNING

The coolant helps to keep the engine running pro-perly (heat exchange).

The system does not operate using pure water.

WARNING

Drain with the engine warm.

Flushing and refilling should be carried out with awarm or cold engine.

Never flush a hot engine (risk of serious thermalshock).

WARNING

When carrying out a repair that requires a the cir-cuit to be completely drained, it is essential to flushthe circuit with clean water, blow compressed airthrough the circuit to eliminate water, fill and drainthe circuit and then measure the effective protec-tion.

The criteria to be met are:

- Protection down to - 25˚C ±±±± 2 for cold and tempe-rate climates,

- Protection down to - 40 ˚C ±±±± 2 for very cold clima-tes

Note:

Refer to the vehicle's maintenance service bookletfor information on cooling circuit service intervals.

For any further information, refer to the WorkshopRepair Manual of the vehicle concerned.

Note:

Summary of expansion bottle valve ratings.

Due to the dangers of high temperatures, be sure to observe the following instructions:

- never open or separate the pressure tapping circuit,except at the level of the unions on the exhaust pipe(only the supplier can guarantee pressure tapping cir-cuit sealing),

- Position the pressure pipes correctly. If the pipes arenot positioned correctly, their flexible sections may betwisted which will create low points and this may re-sult in the pipes rupturing when fluid freezes and ex-pands.

The particle filter, placed underbody on the catalyticpre-convertor outlet, limits the pollutant emissions byaccumulating the unburnt particles from the exhaust fu-mes (loading or filtering phase), then these particlesare eliminated by combustion (regeneration phase).

Using sensors, the injection computer measures thetemperature as well as the pressure of the exhaust fu-mes upstream and downstream of the particle filter.

The injection computer continuously evaluates the le-vel of clogging of the particle filter using the pressuredifference upstream and downstream of the particle fil-ter. When it is clogged, the two temperature values in-form the injection computer that the temperatureconditions are high enough (approximately 600˚C ) totrigger regeneration.

This consists of burning the particles held in the parti-cle filter: to do this, the injection switches to « delayedinjection » mode and the fuel not burned in the com-bustion chambers burns the residues contained in theparticle filter cells.

The extent to which the particle filter is clogged de-pends on the user's driving style:

- during an average trip (combined cycle and motorwayof more than 15 minutes ), the particle filter automa-tically burns the particles without being noticed by thecustomer (apart from some white smoke): this is« spontaneous regeneration » ,

- if the operating temperature is not high enough to trig-ger spontaneous regeneration, clogging increasesuntil it exceeds 35 g ; an acceleration request to trig-ger spontaneous regeneration is then sent to the dri-ver via an instrument panel warning light; the samehappens if several attempts to regenerate have failed.

- if these conditions are still not met and clogging rea-ches 45 g (min) . « Static regeneration » , using dia-gnostic tool must be performed in the workshop (« SERVICE » warning light comes on and the« CHECK ANTIPOLLUTION » message appears:(see 19B, Exhaust, Particle filter: Cleaning ).

To run this command, select the specific com-mands mode on the Clip tool, and select commandSC017 or VP040 .

Follow this procedure:

- run command SC017 or VP040 ,

- during regeneration, the engine speed will be heldat 1500 rpm , and the engine noise changes (de-layed injection),

- the exhaust fumes rise in temperature and burn thesoot retained in the particle filter,

- the command lasts for approximately 30 minutes ,

- when the engine speed returns to idle speed thecommand has terminated,

- check the quantity of soot contained in the particlefilter PR383 < 10 .

Once forced regeneration of the particle filter is com-plete:

- deal with the present faults,

- clear the stored faults.

Allow the engine to cool down.

Drain the engine oil.

Replace the oil filter.

ROLE OF THE FILLER NECK AND VALVES

1 - Overpressure/underpressure safety valves

If the petrol vapour recirculation circuit is blocked, thisvalve prevents the fuel tank being subjected to excesspressure (the tank expands) or underpressure (as fuelis used, the tank collapses).

2 - Restriction valve

This valve prevents diesel fuel or leaded petrol pumpnozzles from entering the tank.

3 - Overfill prevention valve and vehicle roll-over leak prevention valve

The ball acts as an overfill prevention valve.

When the vehicle is stationary, during filling, the ballrests on its seat, retaining a specific volume of air in thetank.

When the vehicle is moving, the ball leaves its seat,enabling a connection between the tank and the petrolvapour absorber.

When the tank is full, a sufficient volume of air to allowthe fuel contained within it to expand must remain inthe tank, but not so much as to make the tank burst.

The vehicle roll-over leak prevention valve preventsthe fuel tank from emptying via the pipe to the petrolvapour absorber.

4 - Filler neck

The filler neck for unleaded petrol has the following:

- a smaller diameter filling opening (restriction valve).Leaded petrol damages the toxic fume filter system:catalytic converter and oxygen sensor,

- a valve blocking the filling opening (to prevent petrolvapour release or backflow of petrol),

- a leak-tight cap.

The ball acts as an overfill prevention valve.

When the vehicle is stationary, during filling, the ballrests on its seat, retaining a specific volume of air in thetank.
