2004 DACIA SUPERNOVA check engine

1. CHECKING WATERTIGHTNESS OF CIRCUIT
The MS 554-01 adapter is mounted instead of the valve of the de-gassing pot.
The MS 554-07 device is connected to the adapter.
The engine is heated, and then stopped.
the pump is used in order to put the circuit under pressure. The pumping is stopped at a value 0.1 bar smaller than the tare value of the valve ( 1.2 bar).
Th e pr essure must not go down; otherwise, the leak is looked for.
Th e junction of the device for cooling system decompression is progressively unscrewed,
then the apparatus is taken off and the valve of the de-gassing pot, equipped with a new fitting,
is mounted.
2. CHECKING WATERTIGHTNESS OF CIRCUIT
The MS 554-06 devi ce, then the pressure in the circuit is reestablished; this pressure must
become stable at the tare value of the valve with the control tolerance of +/-0.1 bar.
Th e tare value of the valve of the de-gassing pot: 1.2 bar.

sconnect the (-) plug of the battery.
Di sconnect the cooling fan connector (5).
Di sconnect the cooling fa n resistance connector (1). Mark t he mounting position iden-
tification of the two connectors.
Detach the wiring from clip (6).
Cut the clip attaching the wiring on the cooling fan assembly in point (7).
Dismount the four-attachement screws (3) of the cooling fan on the radiator, recovering the
washers (2) and (4). Remove the cooling fan assembly.
REMOUNTING
Check the condition of the fan propeller, cooling fan electri c motor, washers.
Tighten the attachement screw (3) of the assembly.
Replace the clip from point (7).
Mount the wiring of t he cooling fan assembly taking i nto the considera tion the mount-
ing position m arked before dismounting. This is to be fi xed by means of a clip in point (7)
and will pass trough the clip (6). Connect the cooling fan re sistance connector (1).
Connect the cooling fan c onnector (5). Observe t he m ounting position i dentification of
the two connectors. Connect the battery plug (-). In case the vehicle is equipped with progammable radio-
cassettes, electronic clock, e tc, these a re to be reset before returning the vehicle to t he client. Check t he c ooling fan opera tion: start the vehicle engine and disconnect the water
temperature sensor. The cooling fa n must start. Reconnect the water t emperature sensor,
then by means of the CLIP tester, erase the memorized failure related to the water t em-
perature sensor.

BRAKING SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC
I. CONSTANT EFFECT TO THE PEDAL
EFFECTS
To u g h pedal:
High effort for small deceleration.
Elastic pedal
In order to di agnose, an i ncident where
the use was normal is t o be analyzed and
two tests are to be perform ed:
1. While driving the vehicle :
Interpretation tes t: pedal stroke/
deceleration rate.
2. While vehicle i s stopped, engine c ut.
Additional test of bra ke pedal press:
Pe rform five c onsecutive pressings on the
brake pedal in order to vacuum the
se rvobrake, before taking into
consideration the test re sult.
Long pedal
The test i s to be performed with stopped
vehicle and cut engine. REMARK:
It is neces sary to perform five
consecutive pressings on the brak e
peda l, in o rd er t o v a cuum t he
s ervobrake before takin g into
consideration the test result.
Floor pedal
The test i s to be performed with stopped
vehicle and cut engine.
REMARK :
Perfor m five consecutive pressings on
the brake pedal, i n order to vacuum the
s ervobrake before takin g into
consideration the test result. POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Assi stance defect
- Brake linings:
- greasy
- stacking to the disk ( non-conform )
- heating, prolonged bra king with c onstant
pedal pre ss
- Stuck piston
- Rigid duct narrowed (flattening)
- Air presence in the c ircui t: de fective
purging
- Internal leak in the braking circuit.
- Leak of fluid from reservoir (external fluid
leak from braking circuit).
Automatic adjustment : ha nd brake c able too
tighten. - Important and asymmetric wear of the
b rake linings
- St roke too ample between the servobrake
pushing rod and the brake pump
- Brake fluid having high temperature.
- Hydraulic leak (check the sealing of
the braking system components)
- Sealing gaskets defects of the two
b rake pump circuits.
- Brake fluid having high temperature

The tightness of the servobrake is checked on the vehi cle, with the hydraulic
circuit under operation.
Connect the vacuum meter between the servobrake and the inlet collector by means of a “ T
” type connector. The connecting hose of the vacuum meter shall be as long as possible.
Start the engine and let it idle run for 1min.
Block the air suction hose by means of the MOT 453 device.
Stop the engine.
If air suction lowers with more than 33 mbar (25Hg) in a 15 seconds period, it means there
is a loss at t he retainer valve (replace the valve) or at t he servobrake m embrane (replace t he
servobrake) Dismount the MOT 453 device
Dismount the vacuum hose
Reinstate the connection be tween t he servobrake and the inlet c ollector by m eans of the
vacuum hose. TIGHTNESS CHECKING
