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.

Fault finding - System operation
1. System operation:
Composition
–The LPG injection system consists of the:
–LPG tank,
–fuel sender,
–overpressure unit (thermally triggered),
–LPG solenoid valve relay,
–tank solenoid valve,
–reducer (LPG) or expansion valve (CNG),
–expansion valve,
–filling spigot or socket,
–LPG hose,
–tank pressure sensor,
–LPG pipes,
–unions,
–airtight cover,
–regulator valve or anti-return valve,
–excess pressure valve,
–LPG filter,
–temperature and pressure sensor,
–LPG computer,
–LPG expansion solenoid valve,
–gas injectors,
–LPG or petrol selection switch,
–fuel sender relay,
–LPG tank relay,
–fuel pump cut-off relay.
Operating principle
The GAS 3000 computer electronically manages the operation of the LPG systems (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas).
The engine must be started in Petrol mode. The vehicle will automatically switch to "Gas" mode after starting if the
"gas" configuration was selected beforehand. "Petrol" mode switches to "gas" mode after a certain time delay, which
depends on the engine coolant temperature.
Petrol mode operates autonomously. Information is shared between the Petrol computer and the LPG computer via
a CAN connection.
The K line shared by the two computers allows diagnostics to be run on both the petrol and the LPG systems.
The Petrol computer is also the supervisor of the LPG system and includes, in addition to petrol-specific functions,
functions for adapting engine management programming to LPG operation.
Therefore, the Petrol computer includes settings and variables that are specific for LPG operation, e.g. ignition
advance adjustment in LPG mode, LPG flow rate setting, richness regulation, engine operating mode, etc.
It controls the choice of program (petrol start-up etc.) and controls the transition phases for switching from one
operating mode to the other: Petrol → Gas or Gas → Petrol. The fuel pump is regularly supplied to keep the system
under pressure in the event of a possible return to "Petrol" mode (if the "Gas" tank is detected as empty or if a fault
is detected).

Fault finding - Replacement of components
COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
The system can be programmed and reprogrammed via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic
tool (see Technical Note 3585A or follow the instructions provided by the diagnostic tool).
After reprogramming or replacing the computer:
–Switch the ignition off and then on again.
–Start and run the engine in LPG mode then stop the engine (to initialise the computer) and wait for
30 seconds.
–Switch on the ignition and use the diagnostic tool to carry out the following steps:
–use command VP001 Write VIN,
–after the injection has been reprogrammed, stored faults may appear on other computers. Clear the memories of
these computers,
–carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool. IMPORTANT
–switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply),
–connect a battery charger,
–shut down all the electrical consumers (lights, interior lights, air conditioning, radio CD, etc.),
–wait for the engine to cool down (coolant temperature below 60 °C and air temperature below 50 °C).
