Faults
Faults are declared as either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is switched on
after the + after ignition feed (without any system components being active).
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 in the Notes section 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 statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
– carry out 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 repairs.
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 complaint.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following
page in the form of a flow chart.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of the voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when analysing (stored fault).
Visual inspection
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.
Tactile inspection
While manipulating the wiring harness, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to
present.
Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.
Inspection of each component
Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as their crimping (no crimping on
the insulating section).
Make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.
Resistance check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or to another wire.
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

Multiplex connection between the vehicle's various computers
The Mégane II electronic system is a multiplex network. This enables dialogue between the various vehicle
computers. As a result:
– the activation of the fault warning lights on the instrument panel is performed by the multiplex network, with the
vehicle speed sensor on the gearbox deactivated,
– the vehicle speed signal is transmitted by the ABS-ESP computer via the multiplex network.
The system can inject diesel fuel into the engine at a pressure of up to 1350 bar. Before each operation, check that
the injection rail is depressurised and that the fuel temperature is not too high.
When working on the high pressure injection system, you must follow the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice
specified in this document.
Removal of the internal parts of the pump and injectors is prohibited. Only the fuel flow actuator, the diesel fuel
temperature sensor and the air vent unit can be replaced.
For safety reasons, it is strictly prohibited to undo a high pressure pipe union when the engine is running.
It is not possible to remove the pressure sensor from the fuel rail because this may cause circuit contamination
faults. If the pressure sensor fails, the pressure sensor, the rail and the five high pressure pipes must be replaced.
It is strictly prohibited to remove any injection pump pulley bearing the number 070 575. If the pump needs to be
replaced, replace the pulley.
Supplying + 12 V directly to any component in the system is prohibited.
Ultrasonic decoking and cleaning are prohibited.
Never start the engine unless the battery is connected correctly.
Disconnect the injection computer when carrying out any welding work on the vehicle. IMPORTANT
The engine must not operate with:
– Diesel fuel containing more than 10 % diester,
– Petrol, even in tiny quantities.

b) Functions included
Air conditioning management assistance
In the case of vehicles with climate control, the EDC16 system has the option of deactivating the air conditioning via
the UCH, under certain conditions of use:
– 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 cold loop managed, shared between several computers. The injection computer is
responsible for:
– authorising cold requests according to the refrigerant pressure, the engine coolant temperature and the engine
speed,
– calculating the power absorbed by the compressor (from the refrigerant pressure),
– requesting operation of the fan assembly, from the UPC, according to the vehicle speed, the refrigerant pressure
and the engine coolant temperature.

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.
