5. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
– when requesting technical assistance from Techline,
– for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is mandatory,
– to be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. The log is needed for warranty
reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.
6. SAFETY ADVICE
Safety rules must be observed whenever work is carried out on a component to prevent physical damage or human
injury:
– check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions,
– use the proper tools.
7. CLEANLINESS ADVICE THAT MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN WORKING ON THE HIGH PRESSURE DIRECT
INJECTION SYSTEM
Risks relating to contamination
The system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks caused by the introduction of contamination are:
– damage or destruction to the high pressure injection system and the engine,
– a component seizing or leaking.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. Performing an operation in a very clean
environment means that no impurities (particles only a few microns in size) will have been able to enter the system
during dismantling or into the circuits via the fuel unions.
The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filter to the injectors.IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the procedure, enables you to keep
track of the procedure which is carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG FOR EACH FAULT
FINDING PROCEDURE.

7. CLEANLINESS ADVICE THAT MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN WORKING ON THE HIGH PRESSURE DIRECT
INJECTION SYSTEM
Risks relating to contamination
The direct injection system is very sensitive to pollution. The risks associated with contamination are:
– damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
– components jamming,
– a component leaking.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions.
This means that no impurities (particles a few microns in size) should enter the system during dismantling.
The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filter to the injectors.
WARNING
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE INJECTION SYSTEM, CHECK WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL:
– that the rail is depressurised,
– that the fuel temperature is not too high.
What are the sources of contamination?
– metal or plastic swarf,
– paint,
– fibres: from cardboard
from brushes,
from paper,
from clothing,
from cloths.
– foreign bodies such as hair,
– ambient air,
–etc.
IMPORTANT
It is not possible to clean the engine using a high pressure washer because of the risk of damaging connections.
In addition, moisture may collect in the connectors and create electrical connection faults.

Fault finding - System operation
The high pressure injection system is designed to deliver a precise quantity of diesel fuel to the engine at a set
moment.
It is fitted with a 112-track BOSCH EDC16C3 type computer.
The system comprises:
– a diesel filter,
– a high pressure pump with an integrated low pressure pump (transfer pump),
– a high pressure regulator mounted on the pump,
– an injection rail,
– a diesel fuel pressure sensor integrated into the rail,
– four solenoid injectors,
– a diesel fuel temperature sensor,
– a coolant temperature sensor,
– an upstream air temperature sensor,
– a cylinder reference sensor,
– an engine speed sensor,
– a turbocharging pressure sensor,
– an accelerator pedal potentiometer,
– an EGR solenoid valve,
– an atmospheric pressure sensor integrated into the injection computer,
– an air flow sensor,
– a turbocharging pressure limitation solenoid valve,
– a damper flap solenoid valve.
The common rail direct high pressure injection system works sequentially (based on the petrol engine multipoint
injection function).
This injection system reduces operating noise, reduces the volume of pollutant gases and particles and produces
high engine torque at low engine speeds thanks to a pre-injection procedure.
The high pressure pump generates the high pressure and transmits it to the injection rail. The actuator located on
the pump controls the quantity of diesel fuel supplied, according to the requirement determined by the computer.
The rail supplies each injector through a steel pipe.

A) Make sure the water in diesel fuel detection sensor is properly connected.
– If not, clear the fault,
– carry out a road test (speed > 12 mph (20 km/h) at an engine speed of> 1200 rpm) for more than 30 seconds.
– If the fault does not recur, end the fault finding procedure.
– If the fault does recur, go to step B.

– drain the diesel filter unit (seeMR 364, 13A, Fuel supply),
– clear the fault,
– carry out a road test (speed > 12 mph (20 km/h) at an engine speed of> 1200 rpm) for more than 30 seconds.
If the fault does not recur, end the fault finding procedure.
C) If the fault recurs:
–Check the continuity and the absence of unwanted resistance on the connection between:
Injection computer, grey 32-track connector C, track A2 Track 3 of the water detection sensor
–Check the power supply to the water detection sensor:
UPC PPM1 black connector track 2 Track 1 the water detection sensor
Earth Track 2 water detection sensor
– Carry out the necessary repairs.
If none of these checks reveal any faults:
– Replace the water detection sensor (see MR 364, 13A, Fuel supply).
