Fault finding – System operation
System outline
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 EDC16 C3 type computer.
The system comprises:
– a priming bulb on the low pressure circuit,
– a diesel filter,
– a high pressure pump with a built-in low pressure pump (transfer pump),
– a high pressure regulator mounted on the pump,
– an injector rail,
– a diesel fuel pressure sensor built into the rail,
– four solenoid injectors,
– a coolant temperature sensor,
– a cylinder reference sensor,
– an engine speed sensor,
– a turbocharger pressure sensor,
– an accelerator pedal potentiometer,
– an EGR solenoid valve,
– an atmospheric pressure sensor integrated into the injection computer,
– an air flowmeter with an air temperature sensor,
– a turbocharging pressure limitation solenoid valve,
– a motorised damper valve,
– a particle filter,
– a particle filter differential pressure sensor,
– a particle filter upstream temperature sensor,
– a particle filter downstream temperature sensor,
– a temperature sensor upstream of the turbine,
– four thermoplungers
The common rail direct high pressure injection system works sequentially (based on the petrol engine multipoint
injection).
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 injector 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.

Exhaust gas recirculation management
The exhaust gas recirculation system comprises a direct current EGR valve controlled by an H bridge in the
computer. This system has a built-in valve position feedback potentiometer.
The EGR valve is controlled in a closed loop on the change in the air flow measured by the flow sensor.
The potentiometer is used in the fault finding procedure for the EGR valve position.
Catalysed particle filter management:
The particle filter prevents the escape of carbon particles emitted by the engine but not yet removed from the
exhaust gases.
The particle filter is a microporous structure containing channels arranged so as to force-filter the exhaust gases.
The exhaust system consists of several components:
– an oxidation catalytic converter mounted after the turbocharger. This catalytic converter ensures that HC/CO
levels meet current standards by generating the heat (rise in exhaust temperature caused by catalysis) required
for particle filter regeneration,
– a catalysed particle filter located under the bodywork;
– A differential pressure sensor to inform the computer about the pressures upstream and downstream of the
particle filter and a temperature sensor upstream and downstream of the particle filter,
– a turbine upstream temperature sensor.
As the vehicle is being driven, the particle filter gets loaded with particles (soot). Using a given weight of soot
determined by computer mapping, regeneration mode can be triggered when the maximum weight of soot in the
particle filter is reached and the correct engine operating conditions are met (coolant temperature, etc.).
Particle filter regeneration consists of burning the particles of soot that have accumulated in the filter.
The differential pressure sensor measures the particle filter inlet/outlet pressure difference, this value makes it
possible to calculate the weight of soot present in the particle filter using computer mapping: (soot weight = pressure
differential depending on the exhaust volume flow rate).
If all the criteria are met, the computer enters regeneration mode. The injection programming is then adjusted in
order to raise the target exhaust gas temperature between 550 and 650°C.
This temperature allows the particles accumulated in the filter to be partially or completely burnt (regenerated).
Regeneration efficiency depends on the particle filter inlet temperature and the time spent in regeneration mode.
Regeneration may be automatically triggered when driving if the soot content is below:
Vdiag 58 and 5C: 74 g for Scénic II F9Q804
66 g for Mégane II F9Q804
66 g for Scénic F9Q803
Vdiag 50: 45 g for Scénic II and Mégane II
If the weight of soot is greater than the values above or if regeneration when driving has not been carried out, the
user will have to request an After-Sales regeneration.
Regeneration may be carried out automatically when driving if the weight of soot is less than 56 g and if the number
of regeneration attempts when driving is less than 10 (only for Vdiag 1C and 20).

2. System faults displayed by the OBD
Only a few faults are displayed by the OBD system:
– DF001 Coolant temperature sensor circuit.
– DF003 Atmospheric pressure sensor circuit.
– DF011 Sensor supply voltage no. 1.
– DF012 Sensor supply voltage no. 2.
– DF013 Sensor supply voltage no. 3.
– DF038 Computer in 6.DEF EEPROM fault.
– DF040 Cylinder 1 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
– DF041 Cylinder 2 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
– DF042 Cylinder 3 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
– DF043 Cylinder 4 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
– DF054 Turbocharging solenoid valve control circuit in CC.0 Short circuit to earth.
– DF056 Air flowmeter circuit.
– DF209 EGR valve position sensor circuit.
– DF310 Particle filter upstream temp.* sensor.
– DF315 Particle filter diff.* pressure sensor.
– DF504 Automatic transmission.
– DF621 EGR valve jammed open.
– DF717 Particle filter upstream pressure.
– DF953 Particle filter absent.
Some repair operations require programming to ensure that certain engine components function correctly.
Follow the programming procedures (see Replacement of components), if replacing the exhaust gas
recirculation valve or an injector.
3. OBD fault clearing conditions
An OBD fault is cleared in several steps.
The fault present in the diagnostic tool will only be stored (after a repair operation) after the vehicle has been
driven 3 times.
The OBD warning light will only go out after these 3 trips.
The instrument panel warning light coming on does not automatically mean that the system has a fault.
In order for the OBD fault and display parameters to be cleared from the computer, the system requires
40 engine heating cycles.
An engine heating cycle is a driving cycle during which:
– the engine coolant temperature reaches at least 71.1°C,
– the engine coolant temperature varies by 22.2°C in relation to the engine starting temperature.
If one of these conditions is not fulfilled, the OBD fault will still be present or stored on the injection
computer.

NOTESPriorities when dealing with a number of faults:
If fault DF008 Pedal potentiometer circuit gang 1 is
present at the same time, check that the pedal sensor
connector is connected correctly.
If fault DF004 Turbocharging pressure sensor circuit is
present at the same time, check that the turbocharger
pressure sensor circuit connector is connected correctly.
If fault DF315 Particle filter diff* pressure sensor is
present at the same time,check that the turbocharging
pressure sensor connector is connected correctly.
The following sensors are connected to supply no. 1:
– Turbocharger pressure sensor.
– Particle filter differential pressure sensor.
– Accelerator pedal potentiometer sensor, gang 1.
To locate a faulty sensor and/or connection, disconnect one of these sensors then check whether the fault
becomes stored.
If the fault is still present, start the operation again with the other sensor.
(Wait a few seconds after each disconnection so that the computer can carry out the check). If the fault is stored
after a disconnection, replace the faulty sensor or repair its connection.
Clear the faults created by the multiple disconnections.
If the fault is still present when the sensors have been disconnected:
1. Check the earth insulation of the following connections:
For Laguna II:
– connection code 3LQ between components 120, 1474 and 1290.
– connection code 3LP between components 120 and 1474.
– connection code 3TL between components 120 and 1290.
– connection codes 3LR and 3LS between components 120 and 921.
For Mégane II and Scénic II:
– connection code 3LQ between components 120, 1071 and 1290.
– connection code 3LP between components 120 and 1071.
– connection code 3TL between components 120 and 1290.
– connection codes 3LR and 3LS between components 120 and 921.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair method (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing
electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any faults.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.
