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: Electronic on board diagnostics.

ENTER INJECTOR CODES
NOTESThis command should be run after the injectors have been replaced and only if the
vehicle has been configured with IMA.
(ET104 USE OF INJECTOR CODES to YES).
If this command is not performed, the DF276 INJECTOR CODE PROGRAMMING
fault will be present.
WARNING
The letters J and Q, and figures 0 and 9 are not used in IMA coding.
If these characters are used the entry will be invalid.
Cylinder no. 1 is the cylinder located at the engine flywheel end.
Procedure to be followed:
–Read the 6-character alphanumeric codes etched on the upper section of the injector bodies.
–Use command SC002.
–Select the cylinder number for the cylinder concerned in the Desired, column, then confirm.
–Enter the injector code displayed for the cylinder.
–Enter the new codes for each cylinder, then confirm.
–When the command is completed, the modified codes appear in the Current column.
–Check that the codes correspond to those read earlier.
–If the codes entered appear in neither the Current column nor the Desired column, check the codes read and
make sure the data has been entered correctly,
The possible confusions are:
digit "1" with the letter "I"
figure 8 with the letter B
figure 5 with the letter S
–Exit fault finding mode.
–Switch off the ignition and wait for 1 min.
–Switch the ignition back on and check for faults.
–DF276 INJECTOR CODE PROGRAMMING should be stored.
If fault DF276 is still present, the command has not been performed correctly.
Start the procedure again and follow the instructions.
If the codes are still not recognised, check whether the computer's standby has been correctly set:
Switch off the ignition and wait for 1 min.
If the warning light flashes when the ignition is switched off, the computer has not been put on standby and the
command will be ignored.
If all these checks still do not enable the command to be confirmed, contact the Techline.

TEST2 Low pressure circuit check
Check the fuel filter:
–Conformity of the fuel filter (correct part number and RENAULT filter).
–Positioning and amount of clogging in the filter element.
–Positioning and condition of the seals.
–If there is metal swarf in the filter:
Replace the fuel filter, bleed the circuit and continue the fault finding procedure.
Supplying the injection system with fuel from an additional tank.
This operation aims to detect possible faults in the low pressure supply system of a vehicle by replacing it entirely
with an additional tank.
Mode:
–Disconnect the diesel fuel supply pipe at the fuel filter inlet and seal it with a plug.
–Connect a pipe to the fuel filter inlet and insert the other end into a clean container which is approximately 5 litres
in volume.
–Disconnect the diesel fuel return pipe at the pump return and injector leak-off junction and seal it with a plug.
–Fill the container with clean diesel fuel.
–Start the engine and let the system drain itself of its air (there must not be any air bubbles in the return pipe).
Is the customer complaint still present?
NO
Are the low pressure circuit connections in order and
in good condition?
NO
Carry out the necessary repairs.
YESIf the low pressure circuit is in order,
reconnect the various pipes making up the
low pressure circuit and repeat the fault
finding procedure in the fault finding chart
or for the fault that referred you to this test.
