c) Warning light management
Instrument panel display
The computer manages the data display on the instrument panel relating to engine operation. This involves
5 functions:
– the OBD warning light (European On Board Diagnostic),
– pre/postheating warning light,
– the coolant temperature warning light,
– the fault level 1 warning light (non-critical fault),
– the fault level 2 warning light (stop immediately).
These five functions are represented by 3 warning lights or messages sent by the trip computer.
Pre/postheating indicator light
This warning light is used both as an in operation indicator light and as a system fault indicator:
– continuously lit under + after ignition feed: indicates that the heater plugs are operating,
– continuously lit with injection faulty: indicates a level 1 fault (involves injection system operating in defect
mode. The user must carry out repairs as soon as possible).
Temperature/emergency stop warning light
This indicator light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault warning light. It lights up for
3 seconds after the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel).
– continuously lit: indicates engine overheating (the driver remains free to stop the vehicle or not),
– continuously lit, with the Engine stop message: indicates a level 2 fault (In this case injection is
automatically shut off after a few seconds).
Excess pollution OBD orange warning light
An engine symbol lights up for approximately 3 seconds when the engine is switched on.
For the Vdiag 44 and 48, it only lights up when the engine is running.
In Vdiag 4C, this warning light comes on if the system has one or more OBD faults.

Fault finding - Replacement of components
COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
The system can be programmed or reprogrammed via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic
tool (see Technical Note 3585A).
While the computer is being reprogrammed the engine fan assemblies are automatically triggered).
Operations to be carried out 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.
To reset the function, proceed 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.
Before reprogramming or replacing the computer in After-Sales operations, backup the following data to the
diagnostic tool:
– The IMA codes (individual correction of the injector).
– The engine adaptives (engine speed, and options available on the vehicle).
(this file corresponds to the last save carried out on the tool)
select YES,
When the backup is complete, replace the computer or reprogram, then proceed to the next step,
with command SC003 Backup computer data. IMPORTANT
–Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter feed).
–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 below 60 °C and air temperature below 50 °C).
WARNING
A computer without the IMA option can be replaced by a computer with this option. The codes have
therefore not been backed up during command SC003.
In this case, status ET104 "Injector code use" becomes "YES" or "FAULTY", fault DF276 "Injector code
programming" is present, and the engine operates in defect mode.
In this case, run command SC002 Enter injector codes, applying the procedure described in the
interpretation of this command.

REPLACING THE INJECTORS
When one or more injectors are replaced, the IMA parameters of the injector output concerned must be modified.
The system can be configured with the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic tool.
To do this, display the IMA code(s) etched on the injector bodies, and enter the codes into the computer using
command SC002 Enter injector codes, and follow the instructions given by the diagnostic tool.
REPLACING THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE
When replacing the exhaust gas recirculation valve, enter the operational values of the new valve into the computer.
After replacing the exhaust gas recirculation valve, select Clear mode on the diagnostic tool.
Run command RZ002 EGR adaptives.
When the command is completed, switch off the ignition and exit fault finding mode.
–wait 30 seconds, and switch on the ignition again,
– clear any faults,
– start the engine,
– let the engine idle for 1 min, accelerate to 2500 rpm for 5 s, and return to idle speed,
– repeat this procedure 5 times.
Check the faults:
If the fault does not recur, end of fault finding procedure.
If the fault recurs, restart the procedure after disconnecting and reconnecting the valve.
If the fault is still present, replace the EGR valve. Note:
The IMA coding (individual injector correction) is a calibration made in production on each injector to adjust
the flow accurately.
These correction values are etched on the Bakelite body of each injector (6 alphanumeric characters) and then
entered into the computer which then controls each injector taking into account their manufacturing variation.
IMPORTANT
When the command is complete, switch off the ignition and exit fault finding mode.
Wait 30 seconds.
Return to fault finding mode.
Select the Identify computer function from the main screen.
Check that the injector codes entered into the computer correspond to those on the injector bodies.
If the codes do not match, restart the command SC002 Enter injector codes procedure.
Then check the system faults, and clear any stored faults.
If the computer does not have any faults, the operation is complete.
If there are faults, deal with the present faults.

Reinitialise ET415 of the injection computer by running command RZ001 Fault
memory or RZ007 Fault memory.
If STATUS 8 remains, contact Techline.
STATUS 9Vehicle speed monitoring
Status ET415 changes to STATUS 9 if the vehicle speed received by the computer is
invalid or absent.
This signal is conveyed on the multiplex line and deactivates the cruise control.
Carry out a multiplex network test, then run fault finding on the ABS computer.
Deal with any present or stored faults (see 38C, Anti-lock braking system,
interpretation of faults).
Reinitialise ET415 of the injection computer by running command RZ001 Fault
memory or RZ007 Fault memory.
If STATUS 9 remains, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults. Clear the fault memory.

ENTER INJECTOR CODES
NOTESThis command is carried out after the replacement of the injectors, and only if the
vehicle is configured with IMA (ET104 Injector code use YES).
If this command is not run, the fault DF276 Injector code programming will be
present.
IMPORTANT
Letters Q and J, and figures 0 and 9 are not used in IMA codification.
If these characters are used the entry will be invalid.
Cylinder no. 1 is the cylinder located at the engine flywheel end.
Procedure to be followed:
– Read the 6-character alphanumeric codes etched on the upper section of the injector bodies.
– Select the cylinder number for the cylinder concerned in the Desired column, then confirm.
– Enter the injector code displayed for the cylinder.
– Enter the new codes for each cylinder, then confirm.
– When the command is completed, the modified codes appear in the Current column.
– Check that the codes correspond to those read earlier.
– If the codes entered appear in neither the Current column nor the Desired column, check the codes read and
make sure the data has been entered correctly.
– Exit fault finding mode.
– Switch off the ignition and wait 30 seconds.
– Switch the ignition back on and check for faults.
–The DF276 Injector code programming should be stored.
If the fault is still present, the command has not been run correctly.
Start the procedure again and follow the instructions.
Switch off the ignition.
If all these checks still do not enable the command to be confirmed, contact the Techline.
