Idle speed adaptive correction
17
PRINCIPLE ( K7M and F3R engines)
The E7J engine has no idle speed adaptive correction and no #12 function.
Under normal warm engine operating conditions, the RCO idle speed value using #12 varies between an up-
per and a lower value to obtain the nominal idle speed.
If the engine operating conditions are different (running in, engine contaminated...) the RCO idle speed va-
lue may be situated close to the upper or lower value.
Adaptive correction (#21) for the RCO idle speed (#12) allows compensation to be made for slow variations
in the engine’s air requirements, in order to recentre the RCO value (#12) to a nominal average value.
This correction is only operational if the coolant temperature is greater than 80°C, 20 seconds after starting
the engine and if the engine is in the nominal idle speed regulation phase.

INTERPRETATION OF THE GATE VALUES
If there is an excess of air (air leak, throttle stop incorrectly set...) the idle speed increases, the RCO idle speed
value for #12 decreases to return to the nominal idle speed; the RCO idle speed adaptive correction value for
#21 reduces to recentre the RCO idle speed for #12.
If there is a lack of air (pollution, etc.), the strategy is reversed:
The RCO idle speed for #12 increases and adaptive correction for #21 also increases, in order to recentre #12
to a nominal average value.
IMPORTANT : after erasing the computer memory (disconnecting the battery), the engine must be allowed to
run at idle speed before returning the vehicle to the customer so that the adaptive correction may correctly
reset itself. Minimum threshold for the F3R engine 750 (- 8.6 %) : this value is taken from the definitive setting. The first
versions to be marketed have a threshold of - 6.2 %.

OXYGEN SENSOR VOLTAGE (#05)
Reading #05 on the XR25 : the value read is the voltage sent to the computer by the oxygen sensor; it is ex-
pressed in Volts (the value actually varies between 0 and 1 000 millivolts).
When the engine is in the loop phase, the voltage value should oscillate rapidly and should be between
50±50 mV (lean mixture) and 850 ± 50 mV (rich mixture) and vice versa.
The smaller the gap between the upper and lower oscillating values, the poorer the information from the
sensor (the gap is usually at least 500 mV).
RICHNESS CORRECTION (#35)
The value given under # 35 on the XR25 represents the average value of richness corrections made by the
computer depending on the richness of the burnt mixture as seen by the oxygen sensor (the oxygen sensor ac-
tually analyses the oxygen content of the exhaust gases directly from the richness of the burnt mixture).
The richness correction has a centre point of 128 with thresholds of 0 and 255 (experience has shown that un-
der normal operating conditions # 35 is located close to 128 with only a small amount of variation).
- Value less than 128 : request for mixture to be made leaner
- Value greater than 128 : request for mixture to be made richer
ENTRY INTO RICHNESS REGULATION MODE
Loop phase
Richness regulation begins after the timed starting period :
- for no load if the coolant temperature has reached:
•25°C for E7J engines,
•40°C for K7M engines,
•35°C for F3R engines.
- outside no load conditions if the coolant temperature is greater than :
•+ 20°C for K7M engines,
•+ 15°C for F3R engines,
there is no coolant temperature condition for E7J engines.
The timed starting period is dependent on the coolant temperature:
-at20°C it is a maximum of :
•45 seconds for E7J engines,
•1 minute for K7M engines,
•2 minutes for F3R engines,
-at80°C it is a maximum of :
•9 seconds for E7J engines,
•16 seconds for K7M engines,
•1 minute for F3R engines.
if richness regulation has not yet started,#35 = 128

Non-loop mode
When richness regulation is occurring, the operating phases when the computer ignores the voltage in-
formation from the oxygen sensor are:
- Full load: #35 = variable and greater than 128
- Sharp acceleration: #35 = variable and greater than 128
- Sharp deceleration with no load information (injection cut) : #35 = 128
- Oxygen sensor fault: #35 = 128
DEFECT MODE IN THE EVENT OF AN OXYGEN SENSOR FAULT
If the voltage from the oxygen sensor is incorrect (# 05 varies only slightly or not at all) during richness regu-
lation, the computer will only enter defect mode (# 35 = 128) if the fault has been present for 3 to 5 minutes.
The fault will be memorised in this case only.
If an oxygen sensor fault is present and recognised and if the fault has already been stored, the system enters
the open loop mode directly (# 35 = 128).

Adaptive richness correction

PRINCIPLE
In the loop mode (see section 17 "Richness regulation"), richness regulation (# 35), corrects the injection ti-
ming to give fuel metering which is as close as possible to richness 1. The correction value is close to 128, with
limit values of 0 and 255.
Variations may affect the components of the injection system and the correction may drift towards 0 or 255,
to ensure richness 1 is obtained.
Adaptive correction allows the injection mapping to be adjusted to recentre the richness regulation to 128
and to ensure a constant authority of correction to make the mixture leaner or richer.
Adaptive correction to richness regulation has two parts:
- Adaptive correction for average and high engine loads (#30)
- Adaptive correction for idle speed and low engine loads (#31).
Adaptive corrections take 128 as the average value after initialisation (erasing the memory ) and have the
following threshold values:
F3R engine K7M 702/703 engine K7M 720 engine E7J engine
82 ≤ #30 ≤ 224 0 ≤ #30 ≤ 208 0 ≤ #30 ≤ 208 112 ≤ #30 ≤ 160
32 ≤ #31 ≤ 224 104 ≤ #31 ≤ 255 100 ≤ #31 ≤ 255 104 ≤ #31 ≤ 160
Adaptive correction only takes place when the engine is warm, in the loop phase (#35 variable) and for a
specified manifold pressure range.
The engine must have operated in the loop mode for several pressure zones in order that adaptive correc-
tion begins to change to compensate for the variations in engine operating richness.
Following reinitialisation of the computer (return to 128 for # 30 and # 31) a special road test must therefore
be carried out.

K7M Pressure zones to cover during the test (# 01)
Following this test the corrections will be operational.
# 31 varies more significantly for idle speed and low loads and # 30 for average and high loads, but both are
operational over all of the manifold pressure ranges.
The test should be followed by a normal, varied drive, covering 3 to 6 miles (5 to 10 km).
After the test, read the values for # 30 and # 31. Initially 128, they should now have changed.If they have not
changed, repeat the test, taking care to ensure the test conditions are correctly observed.
ROAD TEST
Conditions :
- Engine warm (coolant temperature > 70° C)
- Do not exceed engine speed4 300 rpmF3R engine
and 4 000 rpmK7M engine
For this test, start from a fairly low engine speed, in 3rd or 4th gear using progressive acceleration to stabilise
the required pressure for 10 seconds in each zone (see table).
NOTE: For the F3R engine, for example, for zone n° 1, try to maintain the average of 355 mb for at least 10 se-
conds.

Special notes for the E7J engine
A road test should be carried out after which the engine should be allowed to idle for a few minutes. The va-
lues for #30 and #31 should have changed.
During the road test, stabilise the engine speed for a few moments between 2 000 rpm and 4 400 rpm and the
manifold pressure between 400 and 700 mbars.
Condition #31 : if engine speed < 1 000 rpm and if the manifold pressure < 450 mbars, #31 should be mo-
dified.
INTERPRETING VALUES GATHERED AFTER A ROAD TEST
If there is a lack of fuel (injectors dirty, fuel pressure and flow too low...), richness regulation # 35 increases to
obtain the richness as close as possible to richness 1 and adaptive correction # 30 and # 31 increases until the
richness correction returns to oscillate around 128.
If there is an excess of fuel, the situation is reversed:
Richness regulation # 35 reduces and adaptive correction # 30 and # 31 also reduces to recentre the richness
correction (# 35) around 128.
NOTE: the analysis which may be made using # 31 remains difficult since this correction mainly operates for
idle speed and low loads and is also very sensitive.
Hasty conclusions should not therefore be drawn from this gate value, rather the position of # 30 should be
examined.
The information from these two gates gives an idea about the engine operation richness, and may be used as
a guide for fault finding. For them to be of use during fault finding, conclusions may only be drawn if the va-
lues are at the minimum or maximum correction thresholds, and if both values have drifted in the same direc-
tion.
IMPORTANT : # 30 and # 31 should only be examined and analysed after a customer complaint, an opera-
ting fault and if they are at the threshold with the value for # 35 also offset (# 35 varies above 175 or be-
low 80).
