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).

IMPORTANT
When carrying out an operation on an LPG supply circuit component, consult the safety instructions
(see 17D, Gas injection, Introduction, Safety instructions for all operations).
NOTESPriority when dealing with a number of faults:
If fault DF021 LPG tank solenoid valve relay circuit or fault DF018 + After ignition
feed supply or fault DF016 Impact detected are present or stored, deal with these
faults first.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after the engine is started and switched to LPG mode
or when command AC015 Tank solenoid valve is executed.
Manipulate the wiring harness between the gas computer and the gas tank solenoid valves 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 tank solenoid
valves and their connections.
Repair if necessary.
Check the connection and condition of the LPG tank solenoid valve relay connector and its connections.
Replace the connector if necessary.
–check that the solenoid valve is supplied with +12V via track E3 of the LPG computer.
–check for + 12V on track D (for Mégane 2) or on track A (for Logan) of the LPG tank solenoid valve.
If necessary, check the insulation to earth and the continuity and absence of interference resistance on
the following connections:
For Mégane 2:
LPG tank solenoid valve track D
For Logan:
LPG tank solenoid valve track Atrack B5 of the LPG tank solenoid valve relay
track E3, LPG computer
track B5 of the LPG tank solenoid valve relay
track E3, LPG computer
If the fault is still present, check the intermediate connectors (R2 track 38, for Mégane 2), (R34 track 9,
for Logan).
Repair if necessary.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any faults displayed by the diagnostic tool.
Clear the computer memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.

Special note:
As soon as the LPG computer receives this signal, engine operation is prohibited.
If the vehicle has been involved in an accident:
Carry out any necessary repairs,
–clear the fault,
–switch off the ignition,
–wait for the engine immobiliser indicator light to flash,
–switch on the ignition,
If the fault does not recur, end the fault finding procedure.
If the fault recurs, carry out fault finding on the AIRBAG computer.
If the vehicle has not been involved in an accident:
Check for + 12V on track 3 of the fuel pump cut-off relay and the LPG tank relay.
Repair if necessary.
