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.

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).

NOTESConditions for applying fault finding procedures to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after the engine has been running for 10 seconds in
LPG mode.
Appearance conditions:
The fault appears when the difference between the hard-wired petrol computer engine
speed signal and the multiplex network engine speed is greater than 300 rpm.
Manipulate the wiring between the LPG computer and the petrol computer in order to produce a change in status
(present ↔ stored).
Look for any damage to the wiring harness and check the connection and condition of the LPG computer and its
connections and carry out the same checks on the injection computer.
Repair if necessary.
