1.REMOVING THE CYLINDER REFERENCE
SENSOR
Disconnect the sensor
Remove:
- the cylinder reference sensor (A) (one bolt),
- the cover (B) (three bolts).
Target (C) is secured on the end of the camshaft
by a spring ring.
To release the target from the camshaft:
• Rest a copper hammer behind the target.
• Use a mallet to tap the hammer gently.
• Remove the target (C) and the plastic
protective cover (D).
IMPORTANT : the order of operations described
below MUST be observed. Not following the
method could cause incorrect operation and / or
damage to the sensor.
2.REFITTING THE CYLINDER REFERENCE SENSOR
Refit :
- the sensor to the cover, push it upwards and
tighten to a torque of 0.15 daN.m,
- the protective plastic cover,
- the target (this has a foolproofing device.
Check its position before fitting to the end of
the camshaft),
- the cover with the sensor. Tighten the three
cover bolts to a torque of 1 daN.m.3.
ADJUSTING THE SENSOR / TARGET GAP
Slacken the bolt mounting the sensor without
touching the sensor then retighten it to a torque
of 0.8 daN.m.
By slackening the bolt the sensor is released. A
spring in the cover pushes the sensor against the
target.
When the bolt is tightened the sensor is secured. It
has two small plastic pips which touch the target.
These pips wear as the engine turns. There is no
longer contact between the two components and
the gap is set.

Injection fault warning light
17
PRINCIPLE FOR ILLUMINATION OF THE INJECTION FAULT WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
• Vehicle without engine immobiliser system
When the ignition is turned on, the warning light illuminates for 3 seconds then extinguishes.
• Vehicle with engine immobiliser system deactivated
When the ignition is turned on, the warning light illuminates for 3 seconds then extinguishes.
When the doors are unlocked, the red immobiliser warning light, which was previously flashing, extin-
guishes. When the ignition is turned on, it illuminates for 3 seconds then extinguishes.
• Vehicle with engine immobiliser system activated
When the ignition is turned on, the computer does not identify the code and the vehicle cannot be star-
ted. The injection warning light illuminates for 3 seconds then extinguishes.
Before the ignition is turned on, the red immobiliser warning light flashes. When the ignition is turned
on, this light flashes twice as fast.
If a fault in the immobiliser system is detected when the engine is running, the injection warning light
will flash in the engine speed range from idle speed to 1 500 rpm approximately.
• Fault with an injection system component
Faults in the following components cause the warning light to illuminate:
- absolute pressure sensor,
- throttle position potentiometer,
- injectors,
- idle speed regulation stepping motor (K7M engine),
- idle speed regulation valve (F3R engine),
- no vehicle speed information when the vehicle is moving,
- EGR solenoid valve (K7M 703 engine),
- automatic transmission computer → injection computer (F3R - K7M engines).

Engine immobiliser function
17
This vehicle is fitted with a 2nd generation engine immobiliser system.
REPLACING THE INJECTION COMPUTER
The computers are supplied uncoded but are capable of being programmed with a code.
When replacing the computer, the vehicle code must be programmed in and then check that the immobiliser
system is operational.
To do this, carry out the following operations:
•Vehicle fitted with a PLIP engine immobiliser system
- Lock and unlock the doors using the PLIP.
- Turn the ignition on for a few seconds.
- Lock the doors using the PLIP, the immobiliser function is operational.
•Vehicle fitted with a coded key engine immobiliser system
Turn the ignition on for a few seconds then turn it off again.
CHECKING THE IMMOBILISER FUNCTION
•Vehicle fitted with a PLIP engine immobiliser system
- Turn the ignition off, lock the doors from inside the vehicle using the PLIP. The red immobiliser
warning light should flash.
- Turn the ignition on, The red immobiliser warning light should flash twice as fast.
•Vehicle fitted with a coded key engine immobiliser system
Remove the key from the ignition switch, after 10 seconds the red immobiliser warning light should flash.
TESTING AN UNCODED INJECTION COMPUTER FROM STOCK OR FROM A VEHICLE NOT FITTED WITH AN
IMMOBILISER SYSTEM
To avoid coding the injection computer before the test, it is vital to cut the + 12 V before ignition feed to the
immobiliser system. Remove the passenger compartment connection unit fuse (F39) (for more details, refer
to section 82).
NOTE : if the injection computer has been coded by mistake, a method exists for decoding it (refer to section
82).
SPECIAL NOTES
Using the XR25 it is possible to see if the injection computer is coded. The computer is uncoded if bargraph 2
right hand side is illuminated and if *22 = 2 DEF
A CODED COMPUTER FITTED TO A VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE IMMOBILISER MAY NOT BE USED FOR TESTING
ANOTHER VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ENGINE IMMOBILISER OR NOT.

Computer configuration as a function of the gearbox type17
F3R engine
The display shows:
CONFIGURING THE COMPUTER DEPENDING ON GEARBOX TYPE (MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC)
Each time the injection computer is replaced, the gearbox type for the vehicle must be programmed (manual
or automatic). The computer is designed to operate with both these types of gearbox.
Procedure for configuring the computer:
Connect the XR25
ISO selector on S8
Turn the ignition on
Enter D13 then
For a vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox:
Enter G60*
For a vehicle fitted with an automatic transmission:
Enter G50*
If the configuration has not been programmed
After programming the configuration, turn the ignition off to store it in the memory. Memorisation is effec-
tive after the ignition has been turned off, once the computer has left the monitoring mode.
The monitoring mode varies from 30 seconds to 13 minutes.
then once the configuration is
complete

Computer configuration as a function of the gearbox type17
F3R engine
To check that storing has been correctly carried out, turn the ignition on using fault finding fiche n° 27, bar-
graph 20 LH side should be extinguished, bargraph 19 RH or LH side should be illuminated.
There is a method for configuring the computer which does not require the use of the XR25. To do this:
- turn the ignition on,
- start the engine,
- accelerate the engine to a speed greater than 2500 rpmfor 10 seconds,
- turn the ignition off,
- turn the ignition on again and start the engine,
- accelerate the engine to a speed greater than 2500 rpm for 10 seconds,
- turn the ignition off.
The memorisation procedure is the same as that described previously.
NOTE : the configuration procedure using the XR25 may be used to reconfigure an incorrectly configured
computer (automatic transmission instead of manual gearbox). The procedure which does not use the XR25
will however only work for an unconfigured blank injection computer from stock.

Injection strategy / air conditioning
17
AIR CONDITIONING / INJECTION COMPUTER CONNECTION
The electrical connection:
- from the air conditioning computer to the injection computer is by one wire. This track only transmits the
information that the air conditioning is operating. The injection computer deduces that the air
conditioning has been selected:
track 6 F3R engine
track 5 K7M engine
track 34 E7J engine
- from the injection computer to the air conditioning computer is by one wire. This track transmits the
compressor operation authorisation and prevention information :
track 51 F3R - K7M engines
track 20 E7J engine
PROGRAMMING FOR OPERATION OF THE COMPRESSOR
During certain operating phases, the injection computer prevents operation of the compressor.
Starting the engine
The compressor is prevented from operating for 10 seconds after the engine has been started.
Thermal protection
The compressor clutch is prevented from engaging if the coolant temperature is greater than or equal to :
- + 115°C (F3R and E7J engines)
- + 120°C (K7M engine)
Over-revving protection
The compressor may not operate if the engine speed is greater than :
- 6 000 rpm (F3R engine),
- 5 600 rpm (K7M engine),
- 5 400 rpm (E7J engine).
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
1.Idle speed regulation.
2.Air conditioning operation information becomes ON for the first time since the ignition was turned on.
The driver must select air conditioning from the control panel.
The idle speed is increased to:
F3R engine 900 rpm
K7M engine 850 rpm
E7J engine 900 rpm
The injection computer prevents the compressor from operating to assist the increase in idle speed.
3.2 to 5 seconds after receiving the information for air conditioning operation ON, the computer authorises
operation of the compressor and increases the idle speed regulation solenoid valve percentage opening.
The idle speed does not increase.

Injection strategy / air conditioning

4.Air conditioning operation information becomes OFF, the injection computer, anticipating the drop in
load due to the releasing of the compressor clutch, reduces the percentage opening of the idle speed
regulation solenoid valve then authorises the release of the compressor clutch and transmits the clutch
feed authorisation information OFF. The engine runs at fast idle speed.
(If the air conditioning computer has not received the compressor cut-out authorisation 2 seconds after
transmitting the air conditioning operation information OFF, it cuts the compressor itself).
5.Following prevention of compressor operation by the injection computer (clutch feed authorisation OFF),
the injection computer anticipates the drop in load due to the release of the clutch and reduces the per-
centage opening of the idle speed regulation solenoid valve. The compressor clutch is released by the air
conditioning computer.
6.Air conditioning operation information becomes OFF, the operation is similar to that described in point
4.
The engine is running at fast idle speed. To return to normal idle speed, the computer must detect that
the driver has turned the air conditioning off at the control panel. It deduces this state from the air
conditioning operation information if it is OFF for longer than :
- 15 seconds for K7M and E7J engines,
- 40 seconds for F3R engine,
shown by the letter X on the next page.
