Catalytic converter:
Purpose
Catalytic converter fault finding should detect a malfunction which would cause hydrocarbon pollutant emissions to
exceed the EOBD (European On Board Diagnostic) limit.
Principle
The ability of the catalytic converter to store oxygen indicates the condition of the catalytic converter. As the
catalytic converter ages, its ability to store oxygen reduces along with its ability to treat pollutants. The principle lies
in using the correlation between the oxygen storage capacity and the HC emissions.
When the conditions for starting fault finding are confirmed, richness excitation peaks are applied, which has the effect
of sending bursts of oxygen into the catalytic converter.
If the catalytic converter is in good condition it will absorb the oxygen sent to it and the downstream sensor voltage
will remain at its average value.
If it is damaged, it rejects the oxygen that it cannot store and the downstream sensor starts knocking. The more the
catalytic converter is damaged, the more the downstream oxygen sensor will oscillate.
Sensors:
Purpose
Sensor fault finding should detect a malfunction which would cause pollutant emissions to exceed the EOBD
(European On Board Diagnostic) limit.
There are 2 kinds of oxygen sensor damage:
●mechanical damage to the component (breakage, cut in wire) which leads to an electrical fault,
●chemical or thermal damage to the component leading to a slower response time of the sensor and to the
increase in the average reaction time.
Description of programming
When the conditions for starting fault finding are confirmed, the upstream sensor signal periods are read and the
glitches (interference phenomena) removed, then the average taken, and compared with an EOBD (European On
Board Diagnostic) limit average period.
The fault finding check may be staggered, i.e. divided over several consecutive engine stability phases, and its
duration will vary according to the condition of the sensor.

4. Engine coolant temperature management
Engine cooling is provided by 1 or 2 fan assemblies (depending on the vehicle layout). The injection computer
requests the UPC to actuate them via the multiplex network.
To provide cooling:
Engine running, GMV1 is requested when the coolant temperature exceeds 99 °C and stops when the coolant
temperature falls below 96 °C. GMV2 is requested when the coolant temperature exceeds 102 °C and stops when
the coolant temperature falls 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 period, fan assembly 1 is requested if the coolant temperature exceeds approximately 100 °C and is shut down
if the coolant temperature drops below around 95 °C.
If a fault is detected on the coolant temperature sensor circuit, then fan assembly 1 is requested to operate
continuously.
If the engine coolant temperature goes beyond the warning threshold of 11 8 ° C, the injection computer requests the
instrument panel computer via the multiplex network to illuminate on the coolant temperature warning light until the
coolant temperature falls back below 115 ° C.
In addition to the engine requirements, the injection computer centralises the cooling requirements for the Air
conditioning and BVA/BVR functions.
5. Air conditioning function
The S3000 computer manages a cold loop air conditioning system.
– air conditioning request via multiplex connection,
– acquisition of air conditioning circuit pressure,
– vehicle speed
– air conditioning compressor control,
– fan assembly control request by Protection and Switching Unit.
The injection computer recovers the power absorbed by the air conditioning compressor and the fast idling speed
request 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,
– sturdier engine to torque bucking caused by compressor activation,
– helping the alternator.
Requests for fan assembly 1 and/or fan assembly 2 are recovered based on the air conditioning circuit pressure and
the vehicle speed. In short, the lower the speed and the higher the pressure, the greater the fan assembly requests.

6. Defect modes
Motorised throttle valve
In defect mode, the motorised throttle valve can have 6 different statuses.
Any entry into type 1 to 5 defect mode always leads to the application of type 6. Type 1The throttle opening is less than the Safe mode position. The throttle is no longer activated and is
automatically in Safe mode. The ESP, distance control and cruise control/speed limiter systems are
disabled. The automatic transmission is in "Safe mode".
Type 2The throttle opening is no longer actuated. The engine speed is limited by injection cut-off.
Type 3Defect mode is associated with restructuring of the pedal setpoints (constant pedal setpoint for each
gear).
Type 4The associated defect mode restricts the throttle opening. The maximum throttle valve opening
threshold results in a speed of below 54 mph (90 km/h).
Type 5The computer no longer processes torque changes requested by the ESP, distance control, cruise
control/speed limiter and automatic gearbox systems. This defect mode results from a computer
malfunction, or a fault with the manifold or turbocharging pressure sensor. The system then only uses
the accelerator pedal signal. The ESP, distance control and cruise control/speed limiter systems are
disabled. The automatic transmission is in "Safe mode".
Type 6The turbocharging valve no longer works.

Camshaft dephaser:
The camshaft dephaser ET083 Camshaft dephaser in defect mode may assume two different statuses.
●Status 1
This defect mode covers all faults that affect the dephaser position measurement. The dephaser is set to the
minimum stop and the camshaft angle measurement is forced to 0.
Tooth signal fault.
Tooth/camshaft signal consistency diagnostic.
●Status 2
This defect mode covers all faults affecting the dephaser (pulley and solenoid valve). The dephaser is set to
the minimum stop.
Electrical fault finding on the solenoid valve.
Dephaser position fault finding procedure.
7. Operational safety
Warning lights illumination
The S3000 Injection system manages the illumination of three warning lights and the display of warning messages
according to the severity of the faults detected, with the aim of informing the customer and guiding fault finding.
The injection computer manages the illumination of warning lights and warning messages displayed 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 illumination signals reach the instrument panel via the multiplex network.
Warning light illumination principle
During the starting phase (START button pressed) the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) warning light comes on for
approximately 3 seconds then goes out.
If there is an injection fault (level 1), the message CHECK INJECTION is lit, followed by the SERVICE warning light.
It indicates a reduced level of operation and a limited safety level.
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
Components involved:
– motorised throttle valve,
– accelerator pedal potentiometer,
– inlet manifold pressure sensor,
– computer,
– actuator feed,
– computer feed.
If there is a serious injection fault (level 2), the red engine symbol and the word STOP (display with information
display only), appears with the message ENGINE OVERHEATING followed by the STOP warning light and a
buzzer. If this happens, the vehicle must be stopped immediately.
When a fault causing excessive pollution in the exhaust gases is detected, the orange OBD warning light engine
symbol is lit:
–flashing in the event of a fault which might cause destruction of the catalytic converter (destructive misfires). If this
happens, the vehicle must be stopped immediately.
–constantly in the case of non-compliance with the anti-pollution standards (polluting misfires, catalytic converter
fault, oxygen sensor faults, inconsistency between the oxygen sensors and canister fault).

8. Mileage travelled with fault
These two parameters PR105 Distance travelled with OBD fault warning light on and PR106 Distance travelled
with fault warning light on are used to count the distance travelled with one of the injection fault warning lights lit:
level 1 fault warning light (amber) as well as the OBD warning light.
These counters can be reset to 0 using the diagnostic tool (clear faults command).
9. Inter-system engine functions
The inter-system connections concerning the particular requirements of engine management are as follows:
–OBD warning light illumination request by the instrument panel computer to prevent a pollution fault,
–level 1 warning light illumination request to warn of an operating safety fault relating to the injection system,
–level 2 warning light illumination request to warn of an operating safety fault or provide an engine
overheating alert,
– request for fan assembly activation for engine cooling, but also for the air conditioning and automatic
gearbox,
– air conditioning compressor shut-down request for engine programming requirements such as pulling away,
performance, anti-stalling, overspeed, etc.
– passenger compartment heating resistor shut-down or fixing request for engine programming requirements
such as pulling away, performance, anti-stall, overspeed, etc.

1. COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
The system can be programmed and reprogrammed via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic
tool (Consult Technical Note 3585A or follow the instructions provided by the diagnostic tool).
Whenever the computer has been programmed, reprogrammed or replaced:
–Switch off the ignition.
–Start and then 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:
– use command VP020 Enter VIN.
– deal with any faults declared by the diagnostic tool. Clear the computer memory.
– program the flywheel sensor target and throttle stops,
– carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool. IMPORTANT
–Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply).
–Connect a battery charger (during the entire computer (re)programming procedure, the engine fan
assemblies are triggered automatically).
–Observe the engine temperature setpoints given on the diagnostic tool before (re)programming.
–Cut off all the electrical consumers (interior lighting, air conditioning, radio, etc.).
Operations to be carried out before the injection computer is reprogrammed:
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.
– Position the main switch in rest position (the computer then detects the rest position).
– Position the switch in Cruise control position to activate the Cruise control function.
– Position the switch in Speed limiter position to activate the Speed limiter function.
IMPORTANT
It is not possible to try an injection computer coming from the Parts Department because it will no longer be
possible to use it on another vehicle.
