Run TEST 2 Air line at the turbocharger.
Run TEST 6 Turbocharger control solenoid valve check.
Is the vehicle equipped with a particle filter?
NO YES
Start the engine and warm it up at idle speed for 10 minutes.
IMPORTANT
If the air filter was removed previously, refit it before starting the
engine (risks foreign matter entering the air inlet circuit).
Perform several rapid and brief accelerations under no load.
Note:
The presence of smoke is often normal.
The quantity, density, colour and persistence of the smoke are the
important factors.
Is the exhaust outlet producing abnormal smoke?
YES NO
Refer to TEST 7 Turbocharger. The turbocharger is not faulty. There is probably
another fault in the engine. Refer to the
corresponding TEST or fault finding chart
Perform the fault finding of the
"particle filter" function, refer to the
TESTS or corresponding ALP
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a road test followed by a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

TEST 2 Turbocharger air chain
Check for the air filter
Check the replacement frequency for the air filter in the Maintenance Booklet.
Compare the part numbers of the air filter fitted to the vehicle and that of the air filter recommended by the
manufacturer.
Check the air filter direction of fitting.
Is the air filter fitted to the vehicle correct?
YES NO
Check the condition of the air filter
Visually inspect the condition of the filter section of
the air filter.
Is either the air filter or its seal damaged?
Is the air filter clogged (does it contain a lot of
impurities)?
NO
Low pressure circuit check
Note:
According to the vehicle type, maximum visual
access will either be from above or from below.
Visually inspect the condition of the following
components:
– fresh air inlet scoop on the front end panel of the
vehicle,
– air filter air inlet pipe,
– filter air pipe up to the compressor inlet,
– air flowmeter mountings.
Is one of these components incorrect
(disconnected, cut, bent, pierced or kinked
pipes)?

TEST 3 Low pressure circuit check
Check the fuel filter:
– Conformity of the fuel filter (correct part number and RENAULT filter),
– Positioning and clogging condition of the filter cartridge,
– Positioning and condition of the seals.
If there is metal swarf in the filter:
Replace the fuel filter, bleed the circuit and continue the fault finding procedure.
Supplying the injection system with fuel from an additional tank.
This operation aims to detect possible faults in the low pressure supply system of a vehicle by replacing it entirely
with an additional tank.
Mode:
– Disconnect the diesel fuel supply pipe at the fuel filter inlet and seal it with a plug.
– Connect a tube to the fuel filter inlet and insert the other end into a clean container which is approximately
5 litres in volume.
– Disconnect the diesel fuel return pipe at the pump return and injector return joint and seal it with a plug.
– Fill the container with clean diesel fuel.
– Start the engine and let the system drain itself of its air (there must not be any air bubbles in the return pipe).
Is the customer complaint still present?
NO
YES
Are the low pressure circuit connections in order
and in good condition?
YES NO
If the low pressure circuit is in order, reconnect the various
pipes making up the low pressure circuit and repeat the
fault finding procedure in the fault finding chart or for the
fault that referred you to this test.
Carry out the necessary repairs.

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.
