Injection system
WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The water temperature sensor ( 1) is sending to UCE injection the information regarding water tempera-
tu re, and another information is sent to the indicator from the instrument panel, which will show the water
tem perature.
In case of an alert regarding the water temperature, UCE injection will control the lightening of
the water temperature indicator from the instrument panel.
Subject to water temperature, UCE injection will control:
- injection system;
- relays for controlling the engine cooling fan.
When setting the contact on, the water temperature indicator located on the instrument panel,
will be lighted for 3 seconds, then it will turn off.

If after the contact is set off, in the next 2 minutes from engine stopping, the water temperature
is reaching 102 °C, and t hen the injection computer i s control ling t he starting of the e ngine
cooling fan at low speed. When the temperature is lowering at 95°C, the engine cooling fan stopping will be controlled;
its operation must not exceed 10 minutes after engine stopping.

Diagnostic – Failures interpretation
If failure “DF345 : Supply 5 volts potentiometers or transducers” is present
or memorized, this must be treated with priority.
C onditions for failure detection by the computer:
- Set the contact on
- If the failure is only memorized, st art the engine in order to obtain a temperature
variation ( an engine cooling fan starting).
(The failure must pass to the present state, but it may become again memorized
i mmediately after finishing performing the previous operations).
* If the failure is memorized with OBD indicator on, check in the context part,
if state “ET274 : Air tempe rature se nsor circuit” corresponding to the OBD
i ndicator lighting request is affirmative. In this case, proceed as per bellow
m entioned method.
Perform the operations from “recommendations” for reparation confirmation.

COOLING - EXHAUST - TANK
The heating radiator has no valve.
The fluid circ ulation is permanently done in the heating radiator, this leading to t he engine
cooling.
FILLING
Open the purging screw located on the water pipe between engine and climate control radiator.
Fill up the circuit by the expansion vessel hole
Tighten the purging screws in the moment when the fluid is flowing in a continuos jet.
Start the engine, maintaining it at 2500 rot/min.
Adjust the fluid level in the expansion vessel, during about 4 minutes.
Close the cap of the expansion vessel.
PURGING
Let the engine run for 10 minutes at 2500 rot/min, until engine fan starting (necessary
period for automatic gas purge).
Check if the fluid level in the expansion vessel is nearby the mark “Max”.
Do not open the purging screws with the engine running.
Ret ighten the expansion vessel cap with the warm e ngine.

1. CIRCUIT S EALIN G CHECKING
Mount the adapter M.S 554 –01 instead of
the expansion vessel valve.
Connect a t the adapter, the M.S. 554-07
device. Wa rm the engine, then stop it.
P ump, in order to create pressure in the cir-
cuit. Stop pumping at a value lower with 0.1 bar
then the valve calibrating value ( 1.2 bar)
The pressure must not drop, if not, check for
leak and fix it.
Progressively unscrew the device connection
for cooling circuit decompressing , then unscrew
the device, and mount back the expansion vessel
valve.
2. CHECKING ALVE CALIBRATION
M ount t he expansion vessel va lve on
adapter M.S. 554-06 and connect it to the
MS 557-07 device.
P ump to increase the pressure, this must
be stabilized at the valve calibration value 1.2
