Faults
Faults are declared present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but are not diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be considered when using the diagnostic tool after the + after ignition
feed is switched on (without any action on the system components).
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 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 on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.),
–the resistance of the faulty component,
–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 when the data
is inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
–carry out 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 statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them
If a status does not function normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding pages (see interpretation of statuses and parameters).
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 processed by
customer complaints.
A synopsis of the general procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the form of
a flow chart.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (CONTINUED)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).
Visual inspection
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.
Physical inspection
While manipulating the wiring, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to present.
Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.
Inspection of each component
Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as the crimping (no crimping
on the insulating section).
Make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.
Resistance check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or with another wire.
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

Idle speed
The idle speed setpoint is dependent on:
–the coolant temperature,
–the emission control programs,
–air conditioning requirements,
–the position of the gear lever,
–any power-assisted steering operation,
–the passenger compartment heating resistors,
–the oil temperature (engine protection),
–and lastly, the electric power balance (engine speed is increased by a maximum of 160 rpm if the battery voltage
remains below 12.7 V).
Ignition
Advance is calculated for each cylinder, and is limited between - 23˚ to + 72˚, and includes possible corrections due
to pinking.
Anti-pinking correction is the maximum advance value taken from the advance of one of the cylinders. If none of the
cylinders is pinking, this correction is zero.
Richness
For the catalytic converter to operate correctly, adjust around richness 1.
The richness regulation controlled by the upstream sensor which ensures a richness of around 1.
The upstream sensor supplies a voltage according to the image of the average engine richness: the voltage supplied
to the computer represents a Rich-Lean signal.
For the upstream sensor to be operational very rapidly, it is heated. The heating works only when the engine is
running. It is deactivated at speeds above 84 mph (140 km/h) or when the engine is under load.
The downstream sensor is also heated. The command does not activate immediately after starting the engine. It is
activated when the engine is running and has reached its operating temperature. The downstream heating sensor is
deactivated at speeds above 84 mph (140 km/h) or when the engine is under load.
Torque management
The torque structure is the system for managing engine torque. It is required for certain functions such as the
electronic stability program (ESP), automatic transmission (BVA) or sequential gearbox (BVR).
Each computer (ESP, sequential gearbox, automatic transmission) sends a request for torque via the multiplex
network to the injection computer. This intervenes between the torque requests received and the driver's requests
(made via the pedal or the cruise control/speed limiter function). The result of this intervention is the torque setpoint
to be applied. Using the torque setpoint, the structure calculates the throttle position setpoint, the ignition advance
and if the turbocharging function is present, the turbocharging solenoid valve setpoint.

Engine immobiliser
The SIM 32 computer manages an engine immobiliser program:
–The Verlog 4 type immobiliser function is managed by the UCH computer and the engine management computer.
Before any customer request, the engine management computer and UCH exchange authentication frames via the
multiplex network to determine whether or not to start the engine.
After more than five consecutive failed authentication attempts, the engine management computer goes into
protection (antiscanning) mode and no longer tries to authenticate the UCH. The engine management computer only
exits this mode if the following sequence of operations is respected:
–the ignition is left on for at least 60 seconds,
–the signal is cut off,
–the injection computer self-feed deactivates when it should (the time varies according to engine coolant
temperature.
Following this sequence of operations, a single authentication attempt is authorised. If this fails again, repeat the
sequence of operations described above.
If the engine management computer still fails to unlock, contact the Techline.
Impact detected
If an impact has been stored by the injection computer (ET077 Impact detected), switch off the ignition for
10 seconds, then switch it back on so that the engine can be started. Then clear the faults using command RZ001
Fault memory.
Fuel supply
Fuel is supplied by the fuel pump. It is controlled each time the ignition is switched on, for 1 second, to provide a
certain pressure level in the circuit, and thereby achieve correct engine starting, particularly if the vehicle has not
been used for a long time. When the engine is running, the fuel pump relay is always controlled.
Injection
The injectors are controlled according to several modes. In particular, the engine is started in semi-full group mode
(injectors 1 and 4, then injectors 2 and 3 simultaneously), to ensure a correct start whether or not it is correctly
phased, then it enters sequential mode.
It can sometimes, though rarely, happen that the engine starts when incorrectly phased.
Then, after it has changed to sequential injection mode and as long as the cylinder 1 recognition program has not
taken place, the injectors are offset by two cylinders: injection occurs in the order 4-2-1-3 instead of the expected
order 1-3-4-2.
Injection timing is continuously calculated. It can be zero in the event of cut-off whilst decelerating or overrevving for
example.

to the computer represents a Rich-Lean signal.

Torque management
The torque structure is the system for managing engine torque. The torque structure is required for certain functions
such as the electronic stability program (ESP) or sequential gearbox (BVR).
Each computer (ESP, BVR) sends a request for torque via the multiplex network to the injection computer. This
intervenes between the torque requests received and the driver's requests (made via the pedal or the cruise control/
speed limiter function). The result of this intervention is the torque setpoint to be applied. Using the torque reference
value, the structure calculates the throttle position reference value and the ignition advance and if the turbocharging
function is present, calculates the turbocharging solenoid valve reference value.
Engine coolant temperature management
Engine cooling is performed by one or two fan assemblies (depending on the vehicle equipment). The injection
computer requests the UCH to actuate them via the multiplex network.
To provide cooling when the engine is running, activation of fan assembly 1 is requested if the coolant temperature
exceeds 99˚C and is deactivated when the temperature drops below 96˚C.
Fan unit 2 starts when the coolant temperature exceeds 102˚C and stops when it falls below 99˚C.
With the engine off, only GMV1 may be activated to provide the anti-percolation function (if engine is stopped when
very hot). The anti-percolation function is active with the ignition off for a determined period. During this time, fan
assembly 1 is activated if the coolant temperature exceeds 100˚C and is deactivated when the temperature drops
below 95˚C.
If the engine temperature exceeds the warning threshold of 118˚C, the injection computer directly commands the
coolant temperature warning light to illuminate or requests this action from the instrument panel computer via the
multiplex network, until the coolant temperature drops back below 115˚C.
As well as managing the engine, the injection computer handles cooling requirements for the air conditioning and
sequential gearbox functions.
