DIESEL EQUIPMENT
General
13
The use of electronic injection in Diesel engines has allowed the operational power of these engines to be
optimised, thus reducing the emission rate of pollutant gases.
The system consists of a computer, which receives information from:
- the coolant temperature sensor,
- the air temperature sensor,
- the engine speed sensor,
- the vehicle speed sensor,
- the load potentiometer,
- the injection start sensor, which forms part of the injector of cylinder n° 3 (injector with sensor).
It controls :
- the injection pump :
• the altimetric corrector (F8Q 630) via a relay
• the advance solenoid valve.
- the cold engine starting system (heater plugs and pre-postheating unit),
- the exhaust gas recycling system (EGR),
- the diesel injection fault warning light,
- the preheating warning light,
- the solenoid valve controlling the fast idle speed LDA,
- the relay controlling the power assisted steering electric pump assembly (for vehicles with air conditio-
ning), the pump assembly is supplied once the engine speed exceeds 650 rpm.
It carries out a self diagnosis procedure which may be visualised through the
XR25.
SPECIAL FEATURES
On the injection pump it is possible to replace:
- the load potentiometer,
- the advance solenoid valve,
- the altimetric corrector,
- the electrical solenoid.

DIESEL EQUIPMENT
Pre-postheating control
13
The pre-postheating function is controlled by the
computer, which controls the preheating plug re-
lay housing.
1) Ignition - Preheating
The preheating process is divided in two
phases :
a) Variable preheating
This is dependent on the coolant tempera-
ture, on the battery voltage and on alti-
tude (internal computer sensor) when the
ignition is switched on (the preheating
warning light illuminates).b) Fixed preheating
After the preheating warning light has
extinguished (variable preheating), the
plugs remain fed for 8 seconds before the
engine is started.
2) Starting the engine
During the action of the starter motor, the
four plugs are fed continuously.
3) Engine running - Postheating
The postheating also may be divided in two
phases:
a) Fixed postheating
After starting the engine, the plugs are
supplied simultaneously for a period of 10
seconds.
b) Variable postheating
Variable postheating begins when fixed
postheating ends. The time during which
the plugs are fed (continuously) depends
upon :
- the coolant temperature
- the engine speed ,
- the load (load potentiometer on pump
lever ).
Maximum preheating limit (battery vol-
tage lower than 9.3 volts and altitude hi-
gher than 2 000 m).
Minimum preheating limit (battery
voltage greater than 10.5 volts altitude
lower than 350 m).

Variable postheating may be interrupted :
- permanently, if the coolant temperature is >
60°C,
- temporarily , if the unit receives full load
information for more than 3 seconds; the
function is established once again if the
engine returns to idle speed or low load,
- temporarily again if the battery voltage is
>16 V; the function is restored if Ubatt
< 15 V.
In all cases, the total duration of the postheating
function will never exceed 3 minutes.

Fast idle speed control
13
- if the engine speed falls to 650 rpm and the
vehicle speed is lower than 15 mph (25 km/h)
(engine start improvement programming).
The fast idle speed is cut off once the speed
becomes > 850 rpm
NOTE :
- Fast idle speed operational :
• solenoid valve not operated,
• cable loose, and not tensioned.
- Nominal idle sped :
• solenoid valve operated
• cable tensioned
SPECIAL FEATURES : once the AC has been
selected on the instrument panel, the fast idle
speed function is activated. The fast idle speed function is controlled by the
computer via a solenoid valve operating the dia-
phragm (versions with or without air conditio-
ning).
The fast idle speed control becomes operational :
- if, on switching on the ignition, the coolant
temperature is below 10°C,
