Procedure to switch off the Particle filter message or warning light on the instrument panel.
Certain types of driving can trigger the illumination of the particle filter warning light or message, and therefore
cause fault DF312 to appear. The customer must drive in a specific way (refer to vehicle's user manual) which
entails:
1. When the engine is warm, drive at a speed greater than 48 mph (80 km/h) for 2 minutes to trigger the
regeneration procedure.
2. Continue to drive at an average speed of 48 mph (80 km/h) until the "particle filter" message or warning light
on the instrument panel goes out. In order for the procedure to succeed, it is necessary to drive without
stopping the engine or leaving the engine running at idle speed for an extended period of time. The
regeneration time depends on the vehicle and driving conditions but should last for 20 minutes maximum.
If regeneration when driving fails (the warning light has not switched off or the service warning light has come on),
carry out a particle filter regeneration in the Renault dealership. First, check the exhaust pipe for leaks or
blockage. Repair if necessary.
Run command SC017 Particle filter regeneration (see Interpretation of commands).
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any faults.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.

ALP 1 No dialogue with engine management computer
Try to establish dialogue with a computer on another vehicle to check that the diagnostic tool is not faulty.
Check the battery voltage and carry out the operations necessary to obtain the correct voltage
(9.5V
If the tool is not at fault, and dialogue cannot be established with any other computer on the same vehicle, the
cause could be a faulty computer interfering on the multiplex network.
disconnect the engine management computer.
try to establish dialogue with another computer.
if the fault is still present, reconnect the computer and proceed by elimination by successively disconnecting all
the following computers (according to wiring diagram and equipment): air conditioning, airbag, abs and esp, uch,
instrument panel, central communication unit, proximity sensor.
try to establish a dialogue between each disconnection:
if, after a disconnection, you manage to establish dialogue, perform the fault finding procedure for the relevant
computer.
Carry out a fault finding procedure on the multiplex network using the diagnostic tool.
Check for the injection fuses on the protection and switching unit and/or in the engine fuse box and check their
condition.
Check the connection of the computer connectors and the condition of its connections.
Check the injection computer earths (quality, oxidation, tightness of earth bolts on the battery terminal).
Check that the supply to the computer is correct:
Earth on connections NT (Laguna II) or N (Scénic II and Mégane II) of component 120.
+ after ignition feed on connection AP29 (Laguna II) or AP15 (Scénic II and Mégane II) of component 120.
Check that the power supply to the diagnostic socket is correct:
– + before ignition feed on connection BP32 (Scénic II and Mégane II) or BCP4 (Laguna II) of component
225.
– + after ignition feed on connection AP43 (Scénic II and Mégane II) or AP10 (Laguna II) of component
225.
– Earth on connections MAN and NAM (Scénic II and Mégane II) or MA and NAP (Laguna II) of component
225.
If dialogue has still not been established after these checks, contact the techline.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a road test followed by a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

TEST 3

Check the condition of the priming bulb, and that it is working properly.
Perform repairs if necessary and continue the test.
If the fault is still present with a low fuel level, check the consistency of the actual fuel level and that indicated on
the instrument panel.
– The transfer pump is supplied via a venturi valve located beneath it.
Check that the opening of the venturi (6 to 8 mm in diameter) is not blocked by dirt contained in the fuel tank.
Check the priming of the low pressure diesel circuit.
Check the conformity of the fuel used by running test 11 Diesel fuel conformity check.
If the diesel fuel is not correct:
– Replace the diesel fuel.
– Change the diesel filter.
– Bleed the low and high pressure diesel circuit.
Low pressure circuit correct.
