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. 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.

Air conditioning function
The SIM32 computer manages a "Cold Loop" type air conditioning system:
–request for air conditioning by logical link,
–acquisition of pressure in the air conditioning circuit,
–vehicle speed
–air conditioning compressor control,
–fan unit control for the requirements of this function.
The injection computer reconstitutes the power absorbed by the air conditioning compressor and fast idle speed
requests by using the pressure acquired in the air conditioning circuit.
These signals are necessary for adapting the engine management (idling speed regulation, air flow correction, etc.),
for several reasons:
–air conditioning compressor efficiency,
–more engine ruggedness due to torque hesitation caused by the compressor clutching and declutching,
–helping the alternator.
Fan unit 1 and/or 2 requests are reconstituted according to the pressure in the air conditioning circuit and the vehicle
speed. In summary, there are more fan unit requests when the speed is low and the pressure is high.
OCS - Customised Oil Change Interval (does not concern Vdiag 44 and 4C).
This program takes into account the driving style of the user to warn him of the need for an oil service. It counts the
number of revs per minute since the last oil service, corrected by a factor dependent on the oil temperature. When
this number of revs per minute exceeds a certain threshold, the customer is alerted by a message on the instrument
panel informing him that an oil service is required.
After the oil service, the user must reset the oil service interval on the instrument panel.
To find out if the engine concerned uses this programming, consult ET840 Customised Oil Change Interval.
OBD
The OBD programs are as follows:
–catalytic converter fault finding,
–upstream sensor operational fault finding,
–misfire fault finding,
–fuel supply system fault finding.
The misfiring and fuel supply system fault finding is performed continuously. The operational fault finding for the
upstream sensor and the catalytic converter can be only be carried out once per journey, and can never take place
at the same time.

1. OPERATING SAFETY
Activation of the warning lights
The SIM32 injection system manages the illumination of three warning lights according to the severity of the faults
detected, to inform the customer and to assist with fault finding.
The injection computer manages the activation of the warning lights on the instrument panel. These warning lights
illuminate during the starting phase and in the event of an injection fault or engine overheating.
The warning light activation commands are sent to the instrument panel.
Warning light illumination principle
When the ignition is switched on, the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) warning light is illuminated for approximately
3 seconds and is then extinguished.
If there is an injection fault (severity level 1), the SERVICE warning light is illuminated.
It indicates a reduced level of operation and a limited safety level.
The user must carry out repairs as soon as possible:
–motorised throttle valve,
–accelerator pedal potentiometer,
–inlet manifold pressure sensor,
–computer,
–actuator feed,
–the computer power supply,
–turbocharger pressure sensor (for D4FT 780).
For faults requiring the driver to stop the engine quickly, the severity level 2 warning light is illuminated.
If a fault causing excessive exhaust gas pollution is detected, the orange OBD warning light engine symbol is
illuminated:
–the light flashes if the fault could lead to a risk of destroying catalytic converter (destructive engine misfire). If this
happens, the vehicle must be stopped immediately.
–the light is permanently illuminated if the emission control standards are not met (pollutant engine misfire,
catalytic converter fault, oxygen sensor fault, inconsistency between the oxygen sensors and a fuel vapour
absorber fault).
Mileage travelled with fault
The parameter PR106 Mileage counter fault warning light illuminated displays the mileage covered and
illuminates one of the injection fault warning lights: fault severity level 1 (amber) and 2 (red). The parameter
PR105 Mileage counter OBD fault warning light illuminated displays the mileage covered and illuminates the
OBD warning light.
This counter is reset to 0 using the diagnostic tool via the command RZ001 Fault memory.

Injection computer:
The injection computer manages the entire system.
Its role is to define the engine optimum operating mode and to inform the driver (via the instrument panel, information
display, and buzzer) and to communicate with the other computers.
Fuel vapour recirculation solenoid valve:
The fuel vapour absorber works like a ''sponge'' for petrol vapours and enables gases coming from the tank to be
collected.
Upstream oxygen sensor:
This sensor measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas.
The voltage supplied to the computer by the sensor indicates the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas - a rich
mixture or a lean mixture - and a program is adopted accordingly.
Downstream oxygen sensor:
This sensor measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas.
The voltage supplied to the computer by the sensor indicates the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas - a rich
mixture or a lean mixture - and a program is adopted accordingly.
Pinking sensor:
The sensor detects engine knocking and sends its electrical signal to the injection computer.
Oil pressure sensor:
This sensor measures the engine oil pressure.
Turbocharger:
The turbocharger is used to supply the engine with more air.
Turbocharger pressure sensor:
This sensor indicates the pressure at the turbocharger air cooler outlet before the damper valve.
Ignition coil:
This acts both as an energy storage battery and a transformer. It generates high voltage ignition pulses and the
energy required to ignite the mixture.
Motorised throttle valve:
The motorised throttle valve supplies the engine with varying mixtures of fuel and air according to the load required.
This electronic control detects the position of the accelerator using a sensor (potentiometer) to inject the mixture.
