Procedure for Mégane 2
To carry out fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch the ignition to fault finding mode (forced + after ignition).
Proceed as follows:
–Put the vehicle card in the card reader.
–Press and hold Start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not fulfilled.
–connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
To cut off the + after ignition feed, proceed as follows:
–disconnect the diagnostic tool,
–press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),
–ensure that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer indicator lights on the
instrument panel have gone out.
Procedure for Logan
To run fault finding on the vehicle computers, switch on the ignition. Connect the diagnostic tool and perform the
required operations.Vehicle (s): LOGAN and MEGANE 2

Note:
The left-hand and right-hand xenon bulb computers are powered when the dipped headlights are lit.
Fault finding on these computers is therefore not possible until after the ignition has been switched on in
diagnostic mode (forced + after ignition) and the dipped beam headlights have been switched on.

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).

Expansion valve (CNG):
–Purpose:
–It enables the pressure of the gas from the tank to be lowered to a value which is compatible with the injection
system (injectors and temperature pressure sensor downstream from the expansion valve).
–The gas pressure is approximately 3 bar at the expansion valve outlet.
–It regulates the pressure in the injector rail to the pressure in the manifold.
Reducer (LPG):
– Purpose:
–It has the same functions as the expansion valve. Furthermore, it ensures that the fuel switches from a liquid state
to a gaseous state (the gas pressure is approximately 2 bar at the reducer output).
–Operation:
The LPG expansion valve and the CNG reducer are essential components and are composed of:
●a stage for lowering the pressure from 25 bar maximum to a pressure in line with the manifold pressure,
P
output = Pmanifold + 0.85 bars (LPG)
Poutput = Pmanifold + 1.8 bars (CNG with 100 bar of pressure in the tank)
●a pressure regulator, comprised of a system of valves, springs and diaphragms,
●a cut-off solenoid valve,
●a water heating system.
–The expansion solenoid valve
This component controls only supply of gas to the expansion valve. Controlled by the computer, the solenoid valve
allows LPG into the two stages of the expansion valve, thus supplying the LPG injectors.
2. Intersystem connections:
Connections to the other computers:
–Petrol injection computer,
–protection and switching unit
–instrument panel.
