14E7J-A-2/60 ENGINE ANTI-POLLUTION
Check at idling if there is a depression, by fitting a pressure gauge (-3…+ 3 bars) at the
purging valve exit (B) t owards canister. Is there any depression?
YES - Set off the contact . Using a vacuum pump, apply a 500 mbars depression at
the (C ) connection of t he purging valve. The value of t he re ad depre ssion must not vary
more than 10 mbars within 30 seconds. If change i s more than 10 mbars, then purging
valve is damaged and must be replaced. Valve cleaning of small active carbon part icles
may be tried, by low-pressure compressed air blowing at the valve (B) connection NO - When conditions of purging valve controlling are accomplished and this one
does not open, c heck its control electric circ uit ( be tween UCE i njection pin 4 and purging
valve), from continuity or short-circuit point of view. The RCO value of the signal received by the purging valve from the computer, may be
read by means of the CLIP tester in PROL 23. The m inimal value is of 0.7% (corresponding
to the closed position of the purging valve).

FUNCTIONING AND DIAGNOSING
These c ars are equipped with interna l ve ntilation alternators, with i n-built voltage re gu-
lator a nd on-board light indicator, which must work as follows:
-when the contact is on, the light is on;
-when the engine start s, the light goes out;
-if t he l ight is on again as t he engine is runni ng, then i t i ndicates a charging dysfunc-
tion.

A.The light does not turn on when the contact is on.
To check:
-if the electric connections are done prope rly;
-if the light of the board indicator is working properly (when the circuit is set to the
mass, the light must turn on). AL

B.The light turns on when the engine is running
This indicates a charging fa ult, the cause of which may be: - the carrying belt of t he alternator i s broken, the charging conductor i s cut (+ con-
tinuous); - a fault with the alternator (rotor, stator, diodes or brushes);
- a fault with the voltage regulator;
- a voltage surge (overvoltage).
C. The customer / user claims a fault with the charging, as the
on-board light works correctly.
If the re gulated voltage is less than 13.5 V, the alternator is checked. The cause of the defect may be:
- a burnt diode;
- disconnected or cut live wire;
- the coal powder or the wear of the collector.
C
ONTROL OF VO LTAG E
A voltmeter is connected across the terminals of the battery and the voltage value is
read.
The engine is run until the needle of the voltmeter settles at the regulated voltage. This value should be within 13.5 and 14.8 V.
The maximum of consumer devices are connected: the voltage should remain between 13.5 and 14.5 V.
CAUTION!
In case electric arc welding i s being done on t he car, the battery and t he voltage
regulator will be compulsorily disconnected (t he alternator).

DIAGNOSING
Special device: Tester CLIP - SAGEM and accessories for physical measurements.
I
NSPE CT ION OF CHARG ING CIRCUIT
The CLI P - SAGEM tester allows the inspection of the alternator, by measuring the volt-
age and the curre nt supplied with, and without electri c consumers.
NOTE: The Ampere pincers are of the inductive type (0-1000 A). Its mounting
wi ll be done without disconnecting the battery, thus allowing for the memorized
da ta and the adapting values in the injection calculator to be preserved.
M ount the ammeter clamps directly to t he alternator exit, having the arrow oriented
towards this one
.
The measurements are effected in thre e steps: - measuring the battery voltage without contact on;
- measuring the regulated voltage and the current supplied without consumers;
-
measuring the regulated voltage and the current supplied with a maximum of consumers.
The values obtained as a result of t he measurements lead to the following interpretations: -the voltage of t he ‘empty’ battery < 12.3 V: so, the battery is flat;
With no consumers: -regulated voltage > 14.8 V: so, the regulator is faulty;
-regulated voltage (‘empty’) < 13.2 V or charging current < 2 A: so, there is a defect
of charging. With consumers: -regulated voltage > 14.8 V: so, the regulator is faulty;
-regulated voltage (‘empty’) < 12.7 V:the alternator charging current in regard to its
characteri stics must be checked.

Rated intensity 75 80
Minimal intensity, which has to be supplied by the
altern ator to all working consumers 51 60
If the measured output is too little, the following will be checks:
-wear of alternator (collector brushes, etc.);
-battery connections;
-the mass braid of the engine;
-conformity of alternator;
-tension of carryi ng belt.
If the measured output is correct and the regulated voltage is too little, the cause may be:
-the car has too many electric consumers;
-the battery is flat. AL

The UCE injection
calculator is delivered without a code, but it is able to memorize a code.
When mounting a new c alculator, it will have to memorize the code anti-start fuction
singularity of this car, then one has to check if the a nti-start function is operational. In
order to do that, the following operations must be done: -the contact is set for a fe w seconds, then it is taken out;
-after t aking out the key, the anti-start function is actived.

Take the key out of the contact and after 10 seconds the anti-start light indicator on the
board must begin to flash on and off. When setting the contact on, the anti-start ing indicator must turn off.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE AIR-CONDITIONINGON THE INJECTION SYSTEM
The air-conditioning installation ( AC) uses a variable cylinder-volume compressor.
There are the following connections between the air-co nditioning and the petrol injection system:
-pin no. 46 of t he injection calculator re ceives the i nformation “ solicit accelera ted
idle mode” when the button for t he air-conditioning i nstallation is pre ssed and the pres-
su re of the freon in the installation is above a limit.
-the i nformation “ absorbed power” does not infl uence the idle m ode re gime, but lets
the calculator know about the value of the couple taken by the compressor, and the calcu-
lator will opera te the step-by-step engine, through pins nos. 12, 41, 42 and 72, in order to
compensate for the couple fall. With the tester it can read in t he m enu : « Parameters l ist «
the power absorbed by the compre ssor, wich will be between 300 and 5000 W. The value
that is re ad will be of m inimum 300 W, irre spective of the coupled / uncoupled state of the
compressor.
-pin no. 10 of the injection calculator will command the E relay located in the fuse-
box of the engine compartment, which will couple the compressor.
The injection calculator c an prohibit the coupling of the AC compre ssor:
-it does not allow the coupling of the compresso r before 10 seconds after the starting of the engine;
-accordi ng to the couple re quired from t he e ngine by the driver - a nd in cert ain
s ituations according to the power absorbed by t he c ompressor - the calculator c an forbid or
authorize the starting of the compressor;
-if the water temperature is higher than, or equal to 11 5
oC, the therm ic prot ection is oper-
ated, which will not authori ze the start ing of the compre ssor; -the overload protection doe s not permit t he coupling of t he compressor when the
revolution ratio of the engine is over 5900 rot/min.
