WARNING
In order to eliminate any risk of damaging the
rotary switch under the steering wheel, observe
the recommendations below:
!Before the steering column and the steering
rack are uncoupled, the steering wheel MUST
be immobilised with the wheels straight for the
duration of the operation using a "steering
wheel locking tool".
!If there is any doubt regarding the correct
alignment of the rotary switch, the steering
wheel must be removed so that the alignment
procedure described in the "AIRBAG" section
can be applied.
REMINDER: in this case, only qualified
personnel who have received training may carry
out the operation.

REFITTING
For refitting operations, use the same procedure as for
removal in reverse.
IMPORTANT: you must change the copper gasket at
the turbo oil inlet connection.
IMPORTANT:
Before starting the engine disconnect the pressure
regulator manifold on the high pressure pump.
Then run the starter motor until the oil pressure
warning light goes out (wait a few seconds).
Reconnect the regulator, preheat and start the engine.
Run the engine at idling speed and check that there
are no leaks at the oil connections.
Erase the fault and check the turbocharging pressure
solenoid valve sensor.
16869S
Special precautions
!Before refitting, make sure that the lubrication is
correct for the turbocharger bearings. To do this
activate the starter motor having first
disconnected the high pressure manifold regulator
(do not start the engine) (erase the computer
memory). Sufficient oil should arrive via the oil
pressure pipes (place a container below). If this is
not the case, change the lubrication pipe.
!Ensure that no foreign bodies enter the turbine or
compressor during the refitting operation.
!If there has been a fault in the turbocharger, check
that the air-air exchanger is not full of oil.
If the air-air exchanger is full of oil, it must be
removed, flushed with a cleaning agent and then
left to drain properly.
!Check that the turbocharger oil return pipe is not
partially or completely blocked by scale. Check
also that it is perfectly tight. If not, replace it.

Cleanliness

Cleanliness
CLEANLINESS INSTRUCTIONS WHICH MUST BE FOLLOWED WHEN WORKING ON THE HIGH PRESSURE
DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM
Risks relating to contamination
The system is very sensitive to contamination. The risks caused by the introduction of pollution are:
– damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
– seizing of a component or a component which is not sealed.
All after-sales operations must be performed under very good cleanliness conditions. This means that no impurities
(particles a few microns in size) have penetrated into the system during removal or into the circuits via the fuel
unions.
The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filter to the injectors.
WHAT ARE THE POLLUTING ELEMENTS?
The elements which pollute are:
– metal or plastic splinters,
– paint,
– fibres:
!of cardboard,
!of brushes,
!of paper,
!of clothing,
!of cloths.
– foreign bodies such as hair,
– ambient air,
– etc.
WARNING: it is impossible to clean the engine using a high pressure washer at the risk of damaging connections.
Also the moisture may collect in the connectors and cause electrical connection problems.
INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE
ANY WORK IS CARRIED OUT ON THE INJECTION SYSTEM
!Ensure that you have plugs for the unions to be opened (bag of plugs sold by the Parts Department).
Plugs are to be used once only. After use, they must be thrown away (once used they are soiled and cleaning is
not sufficient to make them reusable).
Unused plugs must be thrown away.
!Ensure that you have the resealable plastic bags for storing removed parts. There is less risk of parts stored in this
way being subjected to impurities. The bags can be used only once, and once used they must be thrown away.
!Ensure that lint-free cleaning wipes are available (cloths with SODICAM part numbers). The use of conventional
cloth or paper is prohibited. In fact, these create lint and may contaminate the system's fuel circuit. A lint-free
cloth should only be used once.

Injection warning light

13-12
Injection warning light
Vehicles using the high pressure diesel system are fitted with two injection warning lights used during the preheating
phase and in case of an injection fault (or engine overheating).
WARNING LIGHT PRINCIPLE
!When ignition is switched on, the preheating light is lit during the preheating phase and then goes out (see section
13 "Pre-postheating control").
!When there is a fault on the injection system the "fault" warning light lights up. These faults are:
– internal computer fault,
– engine speed fault (the vehicle doesn't start),
– main relay or low pressure fault (the vehicle doesn't start),
– injector fault,
–TDC sensor coherence fault and camshaft sensor,
– rail pressure sensor fault,
– rail pressure regulator fault,
– accelerator potentiometer fault,
– engine immobiliser fault,
– computer supply voltage fault,
– engine overheating.
NOTE: the OBD warning light (symbolised by an engine), visible when the ignition is switched on, is never visible
when the engine is running.

Immobiliser function

13-13
Immobiliser function
This vehicle is fitted with an engine immobiliser controlled by a random rolling code key recognition system.
REPLACING AN INJECTION COMPUTER
The injection computers are supplied without a code but they must all be programmed with one.
When the computer is replaced, the vehicle code must be programmed in and then a check must be made to ensure
that the immobiliser system is operational.
To do this, simply switch on the ignition for a few seconds without starting the engine then switch it of f. When the
ignition is off, the engine immobiliser function will be activated after approximately 10 seconds (red engine
immobiliser warning light flashes).
IMPORTANT:
With this engine immobiliser, the computer keeps its immobiliser code for life.
In addition, this system does not have a security code.
Consequently, it is forbidden to perform tests with computers borrowed from the stores or from another
vehicle which must then be returned.
It will no longer be possible to decode them.

Pre-postheating control
13
13-17
Pre-postheating control
The pre-postheating function is controlled by the preheating unit.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE FOR PRE-POST HEATING
1) "Preheating" on ignition
a) Variable preheating
The warning light lighting time and the
supply to heater plugs time depends on the
coolant temperature and the battery
voltage.
In all cases the injection warning light
lighting time cannot exceed 15 seconds.
b) Fixed preheating
After the warning light goes out the plugs
remain supplied for a fixed period of
10 seconds.2) Starting
The plugs remain supplied while the starter is
being activated.
3) "Postheating" while the engine is running
During this phase the plugs are supplied
continuously according to coolant temperature.
