Faults
Faults are declared either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain situation and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is switched on
following + after ignition feed being activated (without any system components being active).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions in the Notes section are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the
fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
●the electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
●the connectors for these lines (for oxidation, bent pins, etc.),
●the resistance of the component detected as faulty,
●the condition of the wires (melted or split insulation, wear).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because the
data is inconsistent. Therefore, this phase makes it possible to:
●run fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint,
●check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for the statuses and the parameters and the conditions for checking
them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be treated by
Customer complaints.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the
form of a flow chart.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).
Visual inspection
●look for damaged wiring under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
●carefully check the fuses, insulation and the correct routing of the wiring.
●look for signs of oxidation.
Tactile inspection
While manipulating the wiring harness, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to
present.
●Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
●Apply light pressure to the connectors.
●Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.
Inspection of each component
●disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as the crimping (no
crimping on the insulating section).
●make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
●Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
●check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.
Resistance check
●check the continuity of the entire lines, then section by section.
●look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12V or with another wire.
If a fault is detected, apply the associated fault finding procedure and repair or replace the wiring.

2. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
–when requesting technical assistance from the Techline,
–for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is obligatory,
–to be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty reimbursement,
and enables better analysis of the parts which have been removed.
5. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
–make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low charge,
–use the appropriate tools.
Safety instructions that must be followed before any operation is performed on the vehicle
–If a major LPG leak occurs, the vehicle must be isolated, away from buildings and any fire risks.
–the emergency services may be required to intervene if the situation cannot be controlled.
–all work on the LPG circuit must be performed by qualified and authorised personnel,
–do not try to open the tank. Never try to remove the multi-valve located at the end of the tank.
–do not clean the engine compartment using a pressure system with detergents.
–always refer to the RENAULT Workshop Repair Manual before performing any work.
Safety instructions that must be followed when any operation is performed on the vehicle
–all work must be carried out in a well-ventilated space,
–there must not be any naked flames, sparks, lit cigarettes or telephones near the area where work is being
carried out,
–the operator must not wear acrylic clothes likely to generate static electricity.
–disconnect the battery and leave the vehicle on the ground,
–if working on the tank, drain it by running the engine in LPG mode,
–once drained and removed, the tank can be sent to GIAT, complete with its mounting,
–if work is to be done in the spray booth, remove the tank (with its mounting),
–the tank must not be subjected to temperatures greater than 50°C. IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system must undergo a thorough fault finding procedure with the
appropriate tools. The FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault finding
procedure, ensures a record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential component
when consulting the manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG EVERY TIME
THE TECHLINE OR THE WARRANTY RETURN SERVICE ASKS FOR IT.

Safety instructions that must be followed after any operation is performed on the vehicle
–after working on an LPG union, check that it is not leaking after it has been refitted,
–apply soapy water or the product distributed by SODICAM, part number 77 11 143 071 (leak detector) to the
open union(s),
–fill the fuel tank with a few litres of LPG if it has been bled (the ignition must be switched off first),
–start the engine, put it in LPG mode and check again that there is no leak,
–if a leak is detected, retighten the union concerned. If the leak persists, refit the union,
–fill the fuel tank (80% of the total volume). start the engine, put it in LPG mode and check that there is no leak,
–after refitting, check that all the rubber and encased steel LPG pipes are not in contact with any parts that may
cause them to wear and create an LPG leak.

ROAD TEST (in Petrol mode, then in LPG mode)
–check that the stabilisation time is normal,
–check that the engine does not stall under sudden braking and that it maintains a stable idle speed until the vehicle
comes to a stop,
–put the vehicle in 4th gear, at a steady speed of 36 mph (60 km/h). Check that the vehicle accelerates
progressively under full load acceleration.
Maintenance operations:
–no adjustment,
–removal of internal components is not permitted,
–if LPG clips are removed, they must be replaced,
–if LPG unions are removed, they must be replaced.
The tank must be bled before removing:
●the fuel tank,
●a component bolted to the fuel tank,
To remove the following, bleed all gas contained in the gas circuit (except the gas in the tank):
●the filler neck,
●the pipes,
●the filter,
●the pressure relief valve,
●the solenoid valve. IMPORTANT
Before performing any work on the vehicle, drain the LPG circuit.
Only personnel who have undergone special LPG training can work with gas unions where gas is circulating and
which run from the expansion valve via the fuel tank.
Equally, only these persons are permitted to perform servicing and repair operations on LPG vehicles.
Workshops can only carry out work on the fuel tank if they have a degassing burner. If the tank cannot be
degassed, do not carry out any work and contact the Comité Français du Butane et du Propane (French
Butane and Propane Commission) by fax on 01 41 97 02 89.
