Engine coolant temperature management
1. Conventional type thermostat
Engine cooling is performed by one or two fan assemblies (depending on the vehicle equipment). The injection
computer requests the UPC to actuate them via the multiplex network.
To ensure cooling, with the engine running, fan unit 1 is activated when the coolant temperature exceeds 99˚C and
stops when it drops below 96˚C.
Fan assembly 2 starts when the coolant temperature exceeds 102˚C and stops when it drops below 99˚C.
With the engine off, only fan assembly 1 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 ET672: Engine coolant temperature management has a fault, then the temperature is regulated at 90˚C.
If a fault on the coolant temperature sensor circuit is detected, fan assembly 1 is activated and remains on all the
time.
If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the warning threshold of 118˚C, the injection computer directly
commands the coolant temperature warning light to come on 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 centralises cooling requests for the air conditioning,
automatic transmission and sequential gearbox functions.
2. Controlled type thermostat
D4F 764 engines (with a camshaft dephaser solenoid valve) are fitted with a controlled coolant thermostat that
manages the engine at much higher coolant temperatures in order to reduce fuel consumption.
Description of operation
A conventional thermostat fitted with a heating resistor inside the wax core is used. The resistor is controlled by the
engine management computer by opening cycle ratio*.
In nominal operation, high coolant temperatures are managed in the engine in order to:
–reduce friction,
–reduce fuel consumption.
Nevertheless, defect operation mode is used to overcome faults linked to:
–reliability: at high engine speeds and high loads the engine temperature must be below 100˚C,
–performance: a high temperature increases chattering and reduces torque.

a. Nominal operation: two operating modes.
High temperature (low and medium load mode):
When the thermostat is not controlled, it opens at a temperature of around 108˚C (compared to 89˚C for a
conventional thermostat). This allows fuel consumption to be reduced at low engine loads due to an increase in the
engine operating temperature (as there is less friction).
Low temperature (high load mode):
When the engine is put under greater stress (high loads, high engine speeds), the computer supplies the resistor
(the thermostat is controlled) to obtain operating temperatures below 108˚C (typically between 75˚C and 90˚C).
When the thermostat is opening as expected, comfort and a suitable engine temperature are obtained.
Too avoid too many transitions, switching from one mode to another is subject to time delays (a few seconds to
switch from high temperature
→ low temperature mode and several minutes to switch from low temperature → high
temperature mode).
b. Defect operation: forcing of low temperature mode and/or limitation of engine torque.
Low temperature management is activated.
Low temperature defect mode is used when one of the following faults is present and stored. Defect mode is reset to
0 using the On/Off key. Note:
The engine management computer automatically controls the thermostat in certain conditions, with the
aim of protecting the engine:
–External temperature greater than approximately 30˚C,
–Recognition of accelerator pedal being fully depressed.
If there is a short circuit to earth or an open circuit on the thermostat (for example: a connector
disconnected, DF893 Controlled coolant thermostat circuit in CO: Open circuit), engine performance is
limited to protect the engine.
IMPORTANT:
–It is essential to follow the new procedure for bleeding the cooling circuit (see MR 392 and 385,
Mechanical systems, CLIO III and MODUS, 19A Cooling, Cooling circuit: Bleeding), to prevent major
overheating of the catalytic converter. This new procedure is applicable to D4F engines with
SIEMENS injection.
–Do not inverse the connections of the temperature sensor and the thermostat control when
dismantling or carrying out electrical tests (foolproofing by colour of connections).

If the fault is directly linked to the controlled thermostat (DF893 Controlled coolant thermostat circuit), the
thermostat is no longer controlled. It operates continuously, either in low temperature mode (instance of short circuit to
earth) or in high temperature mode (instance of open circuit or short circuit to the battery). The engine torque is limited
to limit heating and also to protect the engine by preventing overheating.
c. Functions affected by the presence of a controlled thermostat:
–Coolant temperature: 108˚C nominal, between 70˚C and 90˚C in defect mode or on loaded points.
–Coolant temperature fault finding: the fault finding setting for coolant temperature consistency has been adapted.
–Consumption: The function improves fuel consumption. Consequence: a fault with the function may lead to
inefficient consumption.
–Bleeding the circuit: A new procedure adapted to this innovation is described in MR 392 and 385, Mechanical
systems, CLIO III and MODUS, 19A Cooling, Cooling circuit: Bleeding.
–Coolant temperature display and illumination of the warning light on the instrument panel: During nominal
operation there is no impact as the temperature reference value is taken into account as well as the warning light
illumination thresholds. In the event of malfunction, see the summary table below.
–Fan unit and air conditioning: the fan unit activation threshold and the high temperature air conditioning
deactivation threshold are adapted in accordance with the temperature setpoint.
–Fault finding of controlled thermostat: Electrical fault finding is used. No operational fault finding:
A mechanical fault (such as jamming) will not be detected by the system.
–Performance: In the event of a fault, there is the option to switch the engine to reduced performance mode (see
Description of operation: Operation in defect mode). Note:
If a fault on the coolant temperature sensor is detected, fan assembly 1 is requested to operate permanently,
regardless of the management mode of the engine coolant temperature.
