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).

If there is a fault with one of the components listed below, the computer enters "defect mode", which means
that replacement values are used to ensure engine operation.

This test can only be carried out using a lead testing kit supplied by NAUDER.
To obtain a testing kit, contact your local After Sales Head Office.
Part numbers : - Complete kit : T900
- 40 test papers : T900/1
ANTIPOLLUTION
Test for the presence of lead
14
METHOD
a - Test conditions :
- Engine stationary.
- Exhaust pipes warm.
- Do not test when the temperature is below 0°C.
b- If necessary use a soft cloth to clean the inside of the exhaust pipe so any soot deposits are removed.
c- Wearing the gloves, take a test paper and moisten it slightly with distilled water (the paper is not
effective if it is too wet).
d- Press the damp paper onto the cleaned exhaust pipe immediately and hold it there firmly for about a
minute.
e- Remove the test paper and allow to dry. The test paper will turn red or pink if lead is present.
IMPORTANT: The test for lead should only be carried out on the exhaust pipe, never on the oxygen
sensor.

CONDITION FOR BLEEDING THE CANISTER ( D7F
engine)
• Coolant temperature greater than+ 15 °C
•Air temperature greater than +10 °C.
• No load position not recognised (if there is a
fault in the throttle potentiometer sensor, the
condition of no load position not recognised is
replaced by an engine speed condition
R > 1500 rpm.).
It is possible to visualise the cyclical opening ratio
for the canister bleed solenoid using the
XR25
and #23. The solenoid is closed if #23 = 0.7 %
CONDITION FOR BLEEDING THE CANISTER (E7J
engine)
During richness regulation
Coolant temperature greater than 50°C.
Air temperature greater than 15°C.
No load position not recognised (if there is a fault
in the throttle potentiometer sensor, the
condition of no load position not recognised is
replaced by an engine speed condition
R > 1500 rpm.).
Outside richness regulation
•Coolant temperature greater than 50°C.
•Air temperature greater than 15°C.
•Full load position recognised (function of
engine speed and manifold pressure).
If there is a fault in the oxygen sensor, bleeding is
permitted outside of no load conditions.
It is possible to visualise the cyclical opening ratio
for the canister bleed solenoid using the
XR25
and #23. The solenoid is closed if #23 = 0.7 %
(minimum value).

Starter motor

OPTIMA 5800 Diagnostic station
CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR USING THE DIAGNOSTIC STATION
Checking of the starter motor is carried out using the OPTIMA 5800, by measuring the battery voltage and
the current absorbed in the engine starting phase. The following operation faults may be highlighted :
- a fault in the battery ( the voltage falls during the starting phase),
- locking of the starter motor (the current absorbed is too high),
- a fault in the engine starter gear (the current absorbed is too low).
In order to carry out the measurement, it is necessary to stop the vehicle from starting :
- for D7F and E7J engines : disconnect the engine speed sensor (located on the clutch housing ,
- for
F8Q engines : disconnect the pump electrical solenoid and isolate the terminal.
NOTE :
- an open circuit on the engine speed sensor or the ignition creates a fault memorised by the injection
computer, this fault must then be erased from the memory using the
XR25 (see "Injection" section),
- if the engine is fitted with an immobiliser, it is sufficient to lock the doors using the remote control.

IGNITION
Semi-static ignition
17
PRESENTATION
The system comprises:
- the injection computer (the ignition power
stage is integrated into the computer),
- two dual output coils, (for the
D7F engine,
these are moulded into one),
- four spark plugs,
- an anti-interference condenser (4).
DESCRIPTION - OPERATING PRINCIPLE
COMPUTER
The injection computer (120), depending on the
information received from various sensors, but
principally depending on the engine speed and
load, determines:
- the number of degrees of advance to be used
and consequently the ignition point,
- which cylinders are at TDC and consequently
the ignition coil to be operated.
The spark is created at the two cylinders at TDC by
cutting the earth to the coil concerned.
COILS (1)
There are two coils. They are of the dual output
type (they cannot be separated in the
D7F en-
gine ).
They are controlled separately by the computer.
They create two sparks simultaneously.
Both coils are connected to an anti-interference
condenser.

Special features of the E7J engine
The coil at (2) has a black electrical connector. It
creates a spark simultaneously at cylinders 1 and
4. It is controlled by track 28 of the injection
computer.
The coil at (3) has a grey electrical connector . It
creates a spark simultaneously at cylinders 2 and
3. It is controlled by track 29 of the injection
computer.
