OBD fault manager:
The European On Board Diagnostic (EOBD) fault manager neither replaces nor modifies the conventional
management of electrical faults. It is an additional feature to satisfy the EOBD* standard. The requirements are:
–to store EOBD* faults,
–to store the engine context when the EOBD* stored fault is detected,
–to illuminate the OBD warning light for all faults that cause the EOBD* emissions thresholds to be exceeded,
–to make the OBD warning light flash for all combustion misfire faults that damage the catalytic converter.

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.

3. INTERSYSTEM ENGINE FUNCTIONS
The intersystem connections relating to the particular requirements of the injection are as follows:
–The instrument panel computer requests illumination of the OBD warning light to warn of an emissions control fault.
–Requests illumination of the Severity level 1 warning light to warn of an operational safety fault related to the
injection system.
–Requests illumination of the Severity level 2 warning light to warn of an operational safety fault or engine
overheating.
–Requests activation of the fan assemblies (GMV) for engine cooling, but also for the air conditioning system and
sequential gearbox (BVR) functions.
–Request for air conditioning compressor switch-off for engine programming requirements such as starting,
performance, anti-stall, overspeed, etc.
–Passenger Compartment Heating Resistor cut-off or setting request for engine programming requirements such as
starting, performance, anti-stall, overspeed, etc.
–Request for gradual engagement of electrical consumers and to limit power: This last function is made possible by
the alternator being operated. This is used to improve the engine handling in critical operating phases, mainly when
idling and when starting. These requests are sent by the UCH via the CAN network where they are converted before
being sent to the alternator.

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.

TDC sensor:
The angular position is measured using a magneto-inductive sensor triggered by the machined teeth on the engine
flywheel. This sensor gives the engine speed as well as the position of the crankshaft for injection.
Refrigerant pressure sensor:
Its role is to measure the refrigerant pressure in the air conditioning circuit.
Engine coolant temperature sensor:
The engine coolant temperature sensor informs the computer of the engine coolant temperature.
Air temperature sensor:
The air temperature sensor is fitted inside the inlet manifold and informs the computer of the temperature of the air
taken in by the engine.
Catalytic converter:
The role of the catalytic converter is to convert pollutant gases into harmless gases.
Cruise control/speed limiter on/off switch:
This switch is used to turn the cruise control/speed limiter on or off.
Fan unit relay:
This relay actuates the motor-driven fan assemblies when a temperature threshold has been exceeded.
Accelerator potentiometer:
The accelerator potentiometer informs the computer of the position of the accelerator pedal (engine load).
Clutch pedal switch:
The clutch pedal switch informs the computer of the clutch pedal status.
Inlet air temperature sensor:
Its role is to measure the air temperature in the inlet circuit.
Pinking sensor:
Its role is to check for pinking in the combustion chamber.
Oil level sensor:
This sensor measures the level of oil in the engine and sends this information to the computer.

Defect modes
Motorised throttle valve
In defect mode, the motorised throttle valve can assume six different statuses.
ET564 Defect mode type 1
This type groups together the faults that prevent the throttle from being controlled.
It causes the throttle control to be stopped: the throttle is in its safe position. By depressing the pedal, it is possible
to modulate the torque by cylinder cut-off and advance in order to keep the vehicle running.
The ESP, cruise control/speed limiter and automatic/sequential gearbox systems change to "defect mode". This
defect mode is always accompanied by the Type 2 defect mode.
ET565 Defect mode type 2
This type groups together the faults preventing the system from controlling the air flow modulation.
The associated defect mode limits engine speed by cutting off the injection (limiting engine speed to 2400 rpm at idle
speed and to 3500 rpm in other gears).
ET566 Defect mode type 3
This type groups together faults allowing you to deduce that the system has lost the accelerator pedal signal, but still
controls the air flow modulation (motorised throttle servo operational). Defect mode is associated with a constant
pedal setpoint for each gear ratio. The vehicle speed can vary by changing gear.
Suggested speeds on a flat road:
–12 mph (20 km/h) max in 1 - st,
–21 mph (35 km/h) max in 2 - nd,
–27 mph (45 km/h) max in 3 - rd,
–39 mph (65 km/h) max in 4 - th,
–below 54 mph (90 km/h) in 5 - th and 6 - th.
ET567 Defect mode type 4
This type covers faults that affect the motorised throttle valve monitoring system, the pedal and the turbocharging
circuit (for D4FT 780) or for faults for which there is a viable safety operating mode for the system.
The associated defect mode is a limitation of the throttle opening according to the engine speed. This results in the
speed being limited to below 66 mph (110 km/h) in 5 - th and 6 - th gear and giving the impression of a "soft"
accelerator pedal.Note:
This defect mode is an effect which occurs due to a fault, but does not necessarily originate from the throttle valve
itself.

ET568 Defect mode type 5
This type covers faults that affect the atmospheric pressure, the turbo pressure, monitoring of the torque structure
and the turbocharging system (for D4FT 780).
Its effect is to go into pedal feedback mode instead of the permanent torque structure. The ESP and cruise control/
speed limiter systems are deactivated. The sequential gearbox (BVR) enters safe mode. The engine management
no longer accepts requests from the gearbox, and sends torque values by default to the multiplex network.
ET569 Defect mode type 6
This type covers faults affecting control of the wastegate on turbocharged vehicles (for D4FT 780).
Defect mode enables the engine to operate as a naturally aspirated engine. The wastegate is no longer controlled
and opens freely. The vehicle operates without turbocharging: with the loss of the turbocharger effects (brisk engine
performance, acceleration, take-up, etc.); operation as a naturally aspirated engine.
Entry into defect modes type 1 to 5 always leads to compulsory application of type 6 defect mode on turbocharged
versions*.

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).
