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.

The GAS 3000 computer manages "gas" actuator control, i.e. the "gas" injectors, the gas system relays and solenoid
valves, the fuel pump cut-off relay and the management of the fuel sender. Before switching to "Gas" mode, the
computer always checks that the pressure and the temperature of the gas are correct and that the "gas" solenoid
valves are open.
The combustible material is stored in an independent toric tank. LPG is stored in a semi-gaseous state at a pressure
of approximately 15 bar.
CNG is stored in a cylindrical tank in a gaseous state at a pressure of approximately 200 bar, and is transported to
the expansion valve/reducer via a rigid high pressure pipe. The rest of the system is a low pressure pipe going from
the expansion valve/reducer to the injectors. For CNG, there is a gas filter between the expansion valve and the rail.
Malfunctions / Special cases
These are characterised by operation in Petrol mode, although the driver has selected LPG mode.
An operational fault must be caused by the LPG system if it cannot be reproduced in Petrol mode.
Forced Petrol mode when LPG is faulty.
The level 1 warning light is controlled by the petrol injection computer; the gas warning light is controlled by the GAS
3000 computer.
The system automatically switches to "petrol" mode when the tank is empty or when the conditions allowing
operation in "gas" mode are not satisfied.

NOTESPriority when dealing with a number of faults:
If fault DF024 Fuel pump cut-off relay circuit is present or stored, deal with this fault
first.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after the engine has been started and switched to LPG
mode.
Manipulate the wiring harness between the LPG computer and the LPG tank solenoid valve relay in order to
produce a change in status (present ↔ stored).
Look for possible damage to the wiring harness and check the condition and connection of the LPG tank
solenoid valve relay and its connections.
If necessary, repair or replace the connector.
With the ignition on, check for + 12V on track 1 of the LPG tank solenoid valve relay and track C2 of the LPG
computer.
If no + 12 V:
–disconnect the battery,
–in the Protection and Switching Unit, disconnect the grey connector,
–check the cleanliness and condition of the connections,
–Use the universal bornier to check the continuity of the following connection:
For Mégane 2:
Protection and Switching Unit, grey connector, track 1
For Logan:
Fuse box, track S4track 3 of the main relay
track A5 of the main relay
Repair if necessary.
Check for + 12V on track 3 of the LPG tank solenoid valve relay.
If + 12V is not present, use the universal bornier to check the continuity of the following connection:
For Mégane 2:
Tank solenoid valve relay track 3
For Logan:
