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.

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.

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).
