a) The computer:
Determines the value of injection pressure necessary for the engine to operate correctly and then controls the
pressure regulator.
Checks that the pressure value is correct by analysing the value transmitted by the pressure sensor located on the rail.
Determines the injection duration necessary for supplying the correct quantity of diesel and the moment when
injection is required; controls each injector electrically and individually after determining these values.
The flow injected into the engine is determined by:
–the duration of injector control,
–the rail pressure (regulated by the computer),
–the injector opening and closing speed,
–the needle stroke (determined by a constant for the type of injector),
–the nominal hydraulic flow of the injector (specific to each injector).
The computer manages:
–idling regulation,
–exhaust gas flow reinjection to the inlet (EGR),
–fuel supply check (advance, flow and rail pressure),
–the CMV control via the Protection and Switching Unit (centralised coolant temperature management function),
–the air conditioning (cold loop function),
–the cruise control/speed limiter function,
–pre-post heating control,
–fault warning lights via the multiplex network.
The high pressure pump is supplied at low pressure by an integrated low pressure pump (transfer pump).
It supplies the rail, the pressure of which is controlled by the fuel flow actuator (MPROP) for charging, and for
discharging by the injector valves. This compensates for pressure drops. The fuel flow actuator enables the high
pressure pump to supply the exact quantity of diesel fuel required to maintain the rail pressure. This component
minimises the heat generated and improves engine output. In order to discharge the rail using the injector valves, the
valves are controlled by brief electrical pulses which are:
–short enough not to open the injector (passing through the feedback circuit from the injectors),
–long enough to open the valves and discharge the rail.

b) Multiplex connection between the different vehicle computers.
The electronic system fitted in this vehicle is multiplexed.
This enables dialogue between the various vehicle computers. As a result:
–the activation of the fault warning lights on the instrument panel is performed by the multiplex network, with the
vehicle speed sensor on the gearbox deactivated,
–vehicle faults are displayed by the multiplex network,
–the vehicle speed sensor on the gearbox is not needed.
The vehicle speed signal on the instrument panel is transmitted by the ABS computer via a wire connection, then
sent out on the multiplex network by the instrument panel. The vehicle speed signal is used mainly by the injection
computer and the airbag computer.
Some vehicles have adopted a sensor for detecting water in the diesel fuel, located in the filter. If there is water in the
diesel fuel, the orange "Injection and pre-post heating" warning light will come on.
The system can inject diesel fuel into the engine at a pressure of up to 1600 bar. Before each operation, check that
the injector rail is depressurised and that the fuel temperature is not too high.
You must respect the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice specified in this document for any work on the high
pressure injection system.
Removal of the internal parts of the pump and injectors is prohibited. Only the fuel flow actuator, the diesel fuel
temperature sensor and the venturi can be replaced.
For safety reasons, it is strictly prohibited to undo a high pressure pipe union when the engine is running.
It is not possible to remove the pressure sensor from the fuel rail because this may cause circuit contamination
faults. If the pressure sensor fails, the pressure sensor, the rail and the five high pressure pipes must be replaced.
It is forbidden to remove any injection pump pulley bearing the number 070 575. If the pump needs to be replaced,
replace the pulley.
Supplying + 12 V directly to any component in the system is prohibited.
Ultrasonic decoking and cleaning are prohibited.
Never start the engine unless the battery is connected correctly.
Disconnect the injection computer when carrying out any welding work on the vehicle.WARNING
The engine must not operate with:
–Diesel fuel containing more than 10 % diester,
–petrol, even in tiny quantities.

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.

Fault finding – Replacement of components
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.

DAMPER VALVE
NOTESThis command allows you to check the operation of the damper valve.
–Measure the resistance of the damper valve solenoid valve between tracks 1 and 2.
Replace the solenoid valve if the resistance is not: 46 ± 3 Ω at + 25˚C.
–Check for continuity and for the absence of interference resistance on the following connections:
Injection computer, brown 48-track connector
B, track M1track 1 of the damper valve solenoid valve
connector
+ 12 V after relaytrack 2 of the damper valve solenoid valve
connector
A) Engine running at idle speed
Make sure that there is a pressure of ~ 900 mbar on the solenoid valve inlet hose.
Make the necessary repairs (pressure circuit conformity and seal).
B) With the vehicle ignition on, engine stopped
Make sure the damper valve is open.
If not, clean or replace the air vent unit.
Disconnect the solenoid valve inlet and outlet hoses,
Connect a vacuum pump to the inlet union and apply a pressure of ~900 mbar
If there is a leak, replace the solenoid valve.
Run command AC012.
Otherwise, with the solenoid valve connected, check operation of the computer output stage with a voltmeter:
Voltmeter earth cabletrack 1 of the solenoid valve
Voltmeter positive leadtrack 2 of the solenoid valve
Clear any solenoid valve faults,
Run command AC012.
The voltmeter should display ten ON-OFF cycles (8.75 V then 2.5 V).
If the measurement is correct, replace the solenoid valve.
If the measurement does not show any lights, contact the Techline.
C) Vehicle with ignition off
Connect a vacuum pump to the flap control diaphragm and apply a pressure of ~900 mbar:
If the diaphragm does not maintain the negative pressure, replace the air vent unit (the diaphragm cannot be
disconnected).
If the diaphragm maintains the vacuum and the flap does not operate, clean or replace the air vent unit.
If the diaphragm maintains the underpressure and the valve operates, then operate it several times to ensure
that there is no blockage.
Check for clogging of the air vent unit and its valve, and clean if necessary.
