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.

Air supply
The idle speed regulator performs all of the calculations that allow the idle speed actuator, the motorised throttle, to
be controlled physically. The functional component of the regulator is adaptive (variation programming and ageing).
If the idle speed regulation conditions are met, the status ET054 Idle speed regulation is "Active", and the idle
speed regulator continually positions the motorised throttle to maintain the engine speed at its idle reference value.
The motorised throttle opening ratio necessary to comply with the speed setpoint is then given by parameter PR091
Idle speed regulation theoretical OCR*.
The PR090 Idle speed regulation programming value is a stored parameter designed to program engine
variations and engine wear and tear for the idle speed regulator. The programming is carried out only when the
engine is idle and warm, and no electrical consumer (air conditioning, fan assembly, power assisted steering) is
operating. Therefore it adjusts slowly.
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),
–the electric power balance (engine speed is increased by 160 rpm maximum 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. 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.

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.

1. COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
Computer replacement or reprogramming for engines with the OCS (customised oil change interval)
function.
For Vdiag 44 and 4C, commands SC001 and SC003 are not accessible.
The system can be programmed via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic tool (refer to
Technical Note 3585A, COMPUTER PROGRAMMING AND REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE or follow the
instructions given by the diagnostic tool). Only in Vdiag 54 and certain engines in Vdiag 50:
For Vdiag 50, the procedure below should be followed only if ET840 Customised Oil Change Interval is ACTIVE.
Certain variables linked to the O.C.S and the details of the last four oil services are saved by the computer.
However, all data saved is cleared during a reprogramming operation. When replacing or reprogramming the
computer, it is necessary to save the data from the old computer so it can be written to the new computer
(or reprogrammed). To do this before changing (or reprogramming) the computer, it is necessary to run the request
SC003 Save computer data, and after it has been changed (or reprogrammed), it is necessary to run the request
SC001 Write saved data.
For Vdiag 50, if ET840 Customised Oil Change Interval is INACTIVE, commands SC001 and SC003 should
not be used.
Operations to check before reprogramming the injection computer:
Before reprogramming the injection computer, move the main Cruise control/Speed limiter 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:
Ignition switched on and main switch in rest position (the computer detects rest position at that moment).
Switch in Cruise control position to activate the Cruise control function.
Switch in Speed limiter position to activate the Speed limiter function.
IMPORTANT:
–Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply).
–Connect a battery charger.
–Switch off all electrical consumers (lights, interior lighting, air conditioning, radio, etc.).
–Wait for the engine to cool (engine coolant temperature below 60˚C and air temperature below 50˚C).
