Passenger Compartment Heating Resistor Management:
In order to reduce the time required to heat up the passenger compartment, the vehicle is fitted with Passenger
Compartment Heating resistors (RCH). These passenger compartment heating resistors are run and controlled by
the UCH. The injection computer authorises or prohibits the operation of the passenger compartment heating
resistors according to the operating phases and engine power needs.
Cruise control/speed limiter management:
The vehicle cruise control function, when activated, allows you to keep the vehicle speed at a selected value
regardless of the driving conditions encountered.
Using the control buttons, the driver can increase or reduce the speed of the vehicle.
If the driver wishes to exceed the cruising speed, he may:
–depress the accelerator pedal and exceed the cruising speed (the vehicle will return to the initial cruising speed
once the driver takes his foot off the pedal),
–press the system control buttons.
The cruise control function can be deselected either by:
–the system control buttons,
–deactivating the cruise control switch,
–when system events are detected, such as the brake pedal or clutch being depressed,
–when system errors are detected such as an inconsistent vehicle speed.
The cruise function can also be temporarily disabled when the driver wants to increase speed by depressing the
accelerator pedal. The cruising speed is resumed when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle will then attempt to reach the cruising speed at a controlled acceleration rate.
It is possible to reactivate the vehicle speed control and resume the last cruising speed after deactivation (computer
supply not cut off).
When activated (using the selection switch) the vehicle speed limiter function limits the vehicle speed to a
preselected value. The driver controls the vehicle in the normal way using the accelerator pedal until the limit speed
is reached.
If an attempt is made to exceed this speed, the system ignores the pedal request and controls the vehicle speed in
the same way as the cruise control function, provided that the driver keeps the accelerator pedal sufficiently
depressed.
Like the cruise control function, the limit speed can be modified by pressing or pressing and holding the control
buttons.
For safety reasons, it is possible to exceed the limit speed by depressing the accelerator pedal and exceeding the
pedal position limit value. The vehicle speed is then totally controlled as a function of pedal position until the speed
falls back below the limit speed when the speed limiter function will once again be reactivated.
If the driver wishes to exceed the cruising speed, he may:
–exceed the accelerator pedal's kickdown point,
–increase the limit speed by pressing or pressing and holding the limit speed switch.
The speed limiter function can be deselected either:
–the system control buttons,
–by switching off the speed limiter switch,
–when system events are detected, such as the brake pedal or clutch being depressed,
–when system errors are detected such as an inconsistent vehicle speed.

Exhaust gas recirculation management
The exhaust gas recirculation system comprises a direct current EGR valve controlled by an H bridge in the
computer. This system has a built-in valve position feedback potentiometer.
The EGR valve is controlled in a closed loop on the change in the air flow measured by the flow sensor.
The potentiometer is used in the fault finding procedure for the EGR valve position.
Warning light management:
Instrument panel display
The computer manages the data display on the instrument panel relating to engine operation. This involves six
functions:
–the pre-postheating warning light,
–the coolant temperature warning light or warning message;
–the fault level 1 warning light (non-critical fault),
–the fault level 2 warning light (emergency stop),
–the OBD warning light (European On Board Diagnostic).
These five functions are represented by 4 or 5 warning lights and/or messages sent by the trip computer.
A 3 second visual inspection is carried out by the injection computer when ignition is switched on (automatic
procedure for test managed by the instrument panel).
Orange Pre-post heating/non-critical fault SERVICE warning light (level 1)
This light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault indicator:
–Continuously lit with + after ignition feed:
Indicates preheating of the spark plugs.
–Continuous lighting accompanied by the message CHECK INJECTION or ELECTRONIC FAULT:
Indicates a level 1 fault (implies operation in injection system defect mode).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
Temperature warning light/red EMERGENCY STOP (level 2)
This indicator light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault warning light. Lights up for
3 seconds when the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel):
–Continuously lit or alternately lit with ENGINE OVERHEATING message:
Indicates engine overheating (the driver is free to choose whether or not to stop the vehicle).
–Continuously lit with the FAULTY INJECTION message:
Indicates a level 2 fault (In this case, the injection is automatically cut after a few seconds).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
ORANGE OBD excess pollution warning light
An engine symbol accompanied by the message CHECK EMISSION CONTROL.
This warning light comes on if the system has one or more OBD faults.
This warning light is used to warn the driver of injection faults leading to excessive pollution or that the EOBD* system
has been deactivated.
The injection computer requests activation of the OBD warning light for a present fault only after three successive
driving cycles.
A 3 second visual inspection is carried out by the injection computer when ignition is switched on (automatic
procedure for test managed by the instrument panel).

EOBD* management:
The OBD (On Board Diagnostic) system enables the detection of any faults relating to the vehicle emission control
system (OBD EURO IV emission control standards exceeded).
This system should be active for the entire life of the vehicle.
1. Conditions causing an OBD fault
An OBD fault will be detected after 3 driving cycles and the following parameters will be registered in the computer:
–engine load,
–vehicle speed
–air temperature
–coolant temperature,
–turbocharging pressure,
–rail pressure,
–air flow,
–distance travelled in miles by the vehicle since activation of the OBD warning light.
It allows the driver to know whether the vehicle has a fault directly linked to the emission control system.
2. System faults indicated by the OBD
Only a few faults are indicated by the OBD system:
–DF001 Coolant temperature sensor circuit.
–DF003 Atmospheric pressure sensor circuit.
–DF011 Sensor feed voltage no. 1.
–DF012 Sensor feed voltage no. 2.
–DF013 Sensor feed voltage no. 3.
–DF038 Computer in 6.DEF EEPROM fault.
–DF040 Cylinder 1 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
–DF041 Cylinder 2 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
–DF042 Cylinder 3 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
–DF043 Cylinder 4 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
–DF054 Turbocharging solenoid valve control circuit in CC.0 Short circuit to earth.
–DF056 Air flow sensor circuit.
–DF209 EGR valve position sensor circuit.
–DF621 EGR valve jammed open.
Some repair operations require programming to ensure that certain engine components function correctly.
Follow the programming procedures (see Replacement of components), if replacing the exhaust gas
recirculation valve or an injector.

3. Conditions for clearing an OBD fault
An OBD fault is cleared in several steps.
The fault present in the diagnostic tool is not stored (following repair) until after 3 trips with the vehicle.
The OBD warning light will only light up after these 3 driving cycles.
The warning light coming on does not always mean that there is a fault on the system.
In order that the OBD fault and the display parameters are cleared from the computer, the system needs to
go through 40 engine heating cycles.
An engine heating cycle is a driving cycle during which:
–the engine coolant temperature reaches at least 71.1 ˚C,
–the engine coolant temperature varies by 22.2 °C in relation to the engine starting temperature.
If one of these conditions is not fulfilled, the OBD fault will still be present or stored in the injection computer.

COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING
Operations to be carried out before reprogramming the injection computer:
Before reprogramming the injection computer, move the main CC/SL switch to the rest position. The information
about the cruise control or the speed limiter displayed on the instrument panel disappears.
Otherwise, if the main switch remains in the cruise control or speed limiter position during and after reprogramming,
the Cruise control/Speed limiter function will not be operational.
The procedure for resetting the function is as follows:
–Vehicle ignition on.
–Move the cruise control/speed limiter switch to the rest position (the computer detects the rest position at that
moment).
–Move the cruise control/speed limiter switch to the Cruise control position to activate the Cruise control function.
–Move the cruise control/speed limiter switch to the Speed limiter position to activate the Speed limiter function.
Two operations must be performed when replacing or reprogramming the computer:
SC003 Save computer data and SC001 Enter saved data.
–Use SC003 before the computer is replaced or reprogrammed. This enables certain data to be saved in the
diagnostic tool so that the new computer* can be reconfigured like the old one. The saved data are: injector
codes, EGR programming, vehicle options.
–Run SC001 after the computer is replaced or reprogrammed. It enables you to rewrite the data (saved by
command SC003) to the new computer*.
If you cannot establish dialogue with the computer being replaced: you will not be able to save anything. After
replacing the computer, enter the IMA code of each injector manually, reading the code on each injector (see
INJECTOR REPLACEMENT).
Exhaust gas recirculation valve data is programmed automatically the 1
st time the new computer is switched on*.
* new computer or reprogrammed computer. IMPORTANT
–Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply).
–Connect a battery charger.
–Switch off all electrical consumers (lights, interior lights, air conditioning, radio/CD, etc.).
–Wait for the engine to cool (engine coolant temperature < 60˚ and air temperature < 50˚).
–The GMV are activated automatically when the computer is being reprogrammed.

REPLACING THE INJECTORS
After replacing one or more injectors, re-enter the IMA codes.
The system must be configured via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic tool.
→ PROCEDURE to be followed after one or more injectors are replaced:
IMPORTANT
Cylinder no. 1 is located at the engine flywheel end.
–make a note of the IMA code(s) engraved on the injector body,
–enter these codes in the computer using command SC002 Enter injector codes, then follow the instructions given
by the diagnostic tool,
–once the command has finished,
–switch off the ignition,
–wait 1 min before switching on the ignition again,
–return to fault finding mode,
–select the Computer identification function from the main screen,
–check that the injector codes entered into the computer match those found on the bodies of the injectors:
–if the codes do not match, repeat the procedure for command SC002 Enter injector codes;
–if the codes do match, check system faults and clear any stored faults;
–if there are faults, deal with the present faults,
–clear the faults from the computer memory.
Carry out a road test followed by a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
End of operation.Note:
The IMA coding (individual injector correction) is a calibration made in production on each injector to adjust
the flow accurately.
These correction values are etched onto the Bakelite body of each injector (6 alphanumeric characters) and then
entered into the computer which then controls each injector taking into account their manufacturing variation.
IMPORTANT
Engines can only operate correctly if the correct IMA codes have been entered.
If no code has been entered or if an invalid code has been entered, the fault DF276 Injector code
programming, is present and the engine will be in defect mode (speed heavily limited).
If another injector's code has been entered, the system will accept it but will make the wrong correction.
This could lead to engine damage, loss of performance and excessive pollution.
Always use the correct injector codes for the engine cylinder/computer.
