Rail pressure check
The quality of combustion is influenced by the size of the atomised droplets in the cylinder.
In the combustion chamber, smaller fuel droplets will have time to burn fully, and will not produce smoke or unburned
particles. To meet emission control requirements, the droplet size must be reduced and therefore the injection holes
must be smaller.
With smaller holes, less fuel will be able to be introduced at a given pressure, which limits the power. To offset this
disadvantage, the quantity of fuel injected must be increased, which means increased pressure (and more holes in
the injector nozzles). In the Delphi Common Rail injection system, the pressure in the rail can reach 1600 bar
and must be constantly controlled. The measuring circuit comprises an active pressure sensor on the rail connected
to an analogue port on the computer.
The High Pressure pump is supplied at low pressure (5 bar) by a built-in transfer pump. This pump supplies the rail.
The rail filling pressure is controlled by the filling valve (IMV) and the discharge pressure is controlled by the injector
valves. This compensates for pressure drops. The filling actuator enables the high pressure pump to supply
the exact quantity of diesel fuel required to maintain the rail pressure. This mechanism minimises the heat generated
and improves engine output.
In order to discharge the rail using the injector valves, the valves are actuated by short electrical pulses which are:
–short enough not to open the injector (fuel passes through the return circuit from the injectors),
–long enough to open the valves and discharge the rail.
The fuel surplus is sent back to the fuel filter or the tank, according to its flow. If there is no IMV* control, the rail
pressure is limited by a discharge valve on the pump.
IMV*: Filling actuator.
Idling speed regulation
The computer handles the calculation of idling speed. This has to take account of the instantaneous power level to
be supplied, according to the following factors:
–engine coolant temperature,
–gear ratio engaged,
–battery charge,
–electrical consumers (Additional heating, Air conditioning, Fan assembly, heated windscreen, etc.) active
or inactive,
–system faults detected.
Individual injector correction (C2I)
The DCM1.2 system injectors must be calibrated with corrective values so that their flow may be adjusted precisely.
Each injector is calibrated for different pressures on a test bench, and its specifications are shown on a label
attached to the body of the injector holders. These individual correction values are then entered into the computer
memory, which can control the injectors, taking their manufacturing variations into account.

Function: Hosted functions
Air conditioning management assistance
On models with air conditioning, the DCM1.2 system allows the air conditioning to be deactivated under certain
operating conditions:
–when requested by the driver,
–when starting the engine,
–if the engine overheats (in order to reduce the power the engine has to supply),
–when the engine speed is kept at a very high level (to protect the compressor),
–during transition phases (e.g. high acceleration demand for overtaking, anti-stalling and moving off). These
conditions are only taken into account if they do not occur repeatedly, so as to prevent system instabilities
(erratic deactivation),
–when certain faults appear.
Cold loop air conditioning management
The air conditioning is the cold loop type and its management shared between several computers. The injection
computer is responsible for:
–managing demand for cold air according to the passenger compartment commands and the pressure value,
–determining the power absorbed by the compressor from the pressure,
–determining the fan unit commands according to vehicle speed and pressure.
The driver requests the instrument panel to switch on the air conditioning. The signal is sent to the injection computer
via the multiplex line network. The cold air request is authorised or denied depending on the pressure measured. If
this pressure is outside the operating limits, the cold loop program is not activated.
Thermal regulation of the passenger compartment heating circuit
In a direct injection engine, fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. This leads to heat being lost
through the upper part of the engine and consequently, the cylinder head cooling system is smaller in size.
The effect of this is that the temperature of the coolant which flows through this circuit rises more slowly. This coolant
is also used by the passenger compartment heating system. In very cold conditions, it is therefore difficult to achieve
a comfortable passenger compartment temperature quickly.
To reduce the time taken to produce heat, air heating elements, called passenger compartment heating resistors,
are fitted in the passenger compartment heating circuit. The UCH decides whether or not to switch on the passenger
compartment heating resistors, and the UPC or the injection physically controls the heating elements. The injection
computer determines whether to reduce the power supplied to the passenger compartment heating resistors
according to the alternator load and also whether to inhibit the operation of the passenger compartment heating
resistors according to the engine speed, the load, and the vehicle speed.Note:
Fan unit actuation requests can be sent by the injection computer, but these are sent via the multiplex line. These
requests depend on the air conditioning, but also on the engine coolant temperature and vehicle speed.

COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
Before removing any old computer as an After-Sales operation, save the following data using the diagnostic
tool:
–The C2I (individual injector correction) parameters and the engine adaptives using command SC003 Save
computer data.
The system can be programmed by the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic tool (refer to
Technical Note 3585A, Computer programming and reprogramming procedure, and follow the instructions
provided by the diagnostic tool).
After replacing or reprogramming the computer
–Switch the ignition off and then on again.
–Use the diagnostic tool command SC001 Enter saved data to restore the C2I and the engine adaptives.
–On Kangoo 2, use the diagnostic tool command SC040 Speed limiter, if necessary.
–Use command AC028 Static test to reinitialise the computer (fan assembly, etc.).
–Switch the ignition off and then on again.
–When changing the pump, refer to the high pressure pump replacement procedure (consult Technical Note
5011A, Repriming Delphi high pressure pumps on K9K engines).
–Activate the starter without releasing the key until the engine starts (the engine start time can be up to
20 seconds).
–Stop the engine (to initialise the computer) and wait 30 seconds.
–Switch the ignition back on and use the diagnostic tool to carry out the following steps:
–Run command VP010 Enter VIN.
–After injection system programming, stored faults may appear on other computers. Clear the memory of these
computers.
–Switch the ignition off and then on again. IMPORTANT
–Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply).
–Connect a battery charger.
–Switch off all electrical consumers (lights, interior lights, air conditioning, radio/CD, etc.).
Wait for the engine to cool (engine coolant temperature less than 60
°C and air temperature less than 50°C).
IMPORTANT
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:
Vehicle ignition on.
Main switch in rest position (the computer then detects the rest position).
Switch in the Cruise control position to activate the Cruise control function.
Switch in the Speed limiter position to activate the Speed limiter function.
IMPORTANT
AFTER A PROGRAMMING OPERATION, DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY FOR AT LEAST 30 minutes (to
carry out other work on the vehicle).
