Faults
Faults are displayed as present or stored (they appeared in a certain context and have since disappeared, or they
are still present but cannot be diagnosed in the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the
+ after ignition feed is switched on (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the instructions in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
– the electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
– the connectors for these lines (for oxidation, bent pins, etc.),
– the resistance of the component detected as faulty,
– the condition of the wires (melted or split insulation, wear).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool when the data
is inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
– perform fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint.
– check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repair.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be processed by
Customer complaints.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the
following page in the form of a flow chart

2. Role of components, operating strategy
Engine immobiliser
The Verlog 4 type immobiliser function is managed by the UCH computer and the engine management computer.
Before any starting request, the engine management computer is protected.
When a starting request is made, the injection computer and the UCH exchange authentication data via the multiplex
network; this determines whether the engine start is authorised.
After more than 5 consecutive failed authentication attempts, the engine management computer goes into protection
(antiscanning) mode and no longer tries to authenticate the UCH computer. It only exits this mode when the
following sequence of operations occurs:
– the ignition is left on for at least 20 seconds,
– the message is switched off,
– the injection computer self-supply cuts out when it should (the time varies according to engine temperature).
After this, only one authentication attempt is allowed. 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, switch off the ignition for 10 seconds, then switch it back on
so that the engine can be started. Clear the faults.
Torque management
The torque structure is the system for managing engine torque. It is necessary for some functions such as the
electronic stability program (ESP) and the automatic gearbox.
Each inter-system (ESP and automatic gearbox) sends a request for torque via the multiplex network to the injection
computer. It arbitrates between the inter-system torque requests and the driver's request (pedal or cruise control/
speed limiter). The result of the arbitration gives the torque setpoint. The torque structure uses the torque setpoint to
calculate the throttle position setpoint, the advance and, if there is turbocharging, the turbocharger valve setpoint
(wastegate) for engines fitted with a turbocharger. WARNING
Disconnect the injection computer when carrying out any welding work on the vehicle.

Fuel supply management
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 a correct start, particularly if the vehicle has been unused
for a long time.
When the engine is running, the fuel pump relay is always controlled.
Control of the petrol pump relay can be viewed through status ET047 Petrol pump control circuit.
The petrol tank is vented by way of a canister filled with activated charcoal that traps the vapour from the petrol tank.
This canister is bled via the engine vacuum pipe. It enters the inlet plenum via a hose, whose section is controlled by
a bleed valve. It is controlled by the injection computer via the opening cycle ratio. For reasons of engine instability
or canister bleed solenoid valve operating noise emitted by the vehicle, there are two possible frequencies for
controlling the canister bleed solenoid valve:
●a low frequency 8Hz,
●a high frequency 20 Hz.
The frequency of the control opening cycle ratio depends on the engine speed.
Bleed the canister to drain it as it fills, to limit vapour release into the air if a canister is saturated for example.
Air supply management
The idling speed regulator performs all the calculations required for physical control of the idling speed actuator: the
motorised throttle. The functional component of the regulator is adaptive (variation programming and ageing).
If the idling speed regulation conditions are observed, ET054 Idle speed regulation is ACTIVE, the idling speed
regulator continuously positions the motorised throttle to maintain the engine speed at its idling setpoint. The
motorised throttle opening ratio necessary to comply with the speed setpoint is then given by parameter PR091
Idling speed regulation theoretical OCR.
Note on parameter PR091:
This parameter uses only 2 parameters accessible in fault finding frame: PR444 Idle speed integral correction and
PR090 Idle speed regulation programming value which is the integral adaptive action.
–PR090 Idling speed regulation programming value is a stored parameter designed to program dispersion and
engine ageing for the idling speed regulator. The programming is carried out only when the engine is idling and
warm, and no electrical consumer (air conditioning, fan assembly, power assisted steering) is operating. Therefore
it adjusts slowly.
–PR444 Idling speed regulation integral correction is continuously calculated to take into account the air required
by consumers.

In addition to turbocharging pressure management, the computer controls the engine for full load constant torque
operation.
This means that, irrespective of the engine conditions (air temperature, atmospheric pressure etc.), the maximum
torque will always be 275 Nm and the power 125 kW. So, for an air temperature of 20°C, the turbocharging pressure
at full load will be less than at 50°C. Despite controlled torque management, the turbocharging pressure can never
exceed 1800 mbar.
Ignition management
The advance is calculated for each cylinder. This may have a negative value, and is limited to between - 23.625°
and + 72° and includes any corrections due to pinking.
The slow loop anti-pinking correction is the maximum advance value that is deducted from the advance of one of the
cylinders. If none of the cylinders is pinking, this correction is zero.
Injectors
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), then it enters sequential mode, to ensure a correct start
whether or not it is correctly phased.
In fact in rare cases it is possible for the engine to run incorrectly phased if the Memo phasing program failed during
the last engine stop. So, since the system did not enter sequential injection mode and the cylinder 1 detection
program did not run, the injections are offset by 2 cylinders: therefore injecting in the order 4-2-1-3 rather than the
expected 1-3-4-2.
The injection time is constantly calculated and may be zero, in the event of cut-off during deceleration or overspeed
for example.

3. OBD management
Managed OBD programming is as follows:
– catalytic converter operational fault finding,
– upstream oxygen sensor operational fault finding,
– misfiring fault finding with two levels of detection: pollutant misfiring and catalytic converter breakage
misfiring,
– fuel supply system fault finding.
The misfiring and fuel supply system fault finding is performed continuously.
The operational fault finding for the upstream sensor and the catalytic converter can be only be carried out once per
journey, and can never occur at the same time.
OBD fault manager:
The OBD faults manager does not replace or modify conventional electrical fault management. Perform to comply
with OBD standard.
The requirements are:
●storing OBD faults,
●illuminate the OBD warning light for all faults where the OBD emission thresholds are exceeded,
●flash the OBD warning light for misfire faults damaging the catalytic converter.
Operating principle.
If a fault is detected and confirmed during 3 consecutive journeys then:
●an OBD stored fault is raised,
●the OBD fault warning light receives a request to be lit continuously. This request is only recognised if the
fault in question is authorised to activate the OBD warning light.
To deactivate the warning light, no OBD faults should be detected for 3 consecutive journeys.
The electrical fault finding checks taken into consideration by the OBD faults manager are as follows:
– pressure,
– turbocharging pressure,
– coolant temperature,
– air temperature
– upstream sensor,
– downstream sensor,
– upstream sensor heating,
– downstream sensor heating,
–injector1,
–injector2,
–injector3,
–injector4,– ignition coil 1,
– ignition coil 2,
– ignition coil 3,
– ignition coil 4,
– petrol pump,
– wastegate,
– canister bleed,
– air line system,
– turbocharging system
– pinking sensor,
– camshaft dephaser.

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.
