a) The computer:
Determines the value of injection pressure necessary for the engine to operate correctly and then controls the
pressure regulator.
Checks that the pressure value is correct by analysing the value transmitted by the pressure sensor located on the
rail.
It determines the injection timing required to deliver the right quantity of diesel fuel and the moment when injection
should start. Controls each injector electrically and individually after determining these two values.
The flow injected into the engine is determined by:
– the duration of injector control,
– the rail pressure (regulated by the computer),
– the injector opening and closing speed,
– the needle stroke (determined by a constant for the type of injector),
– the nominal hydraulic flow of the injector (specific to each injector).
The computer manages:
– idling regulation,
– exhaust gas flow reinjection to the inlet (EGR),
– fuel supply check (advance, flow and rail pressure),
– the fan assembly control,
– the air conditioning (cold loop function),
– the cruise control/speed limiter function,
– pre-post heating control,
– indicator lights control via the multiplex network,
– the operation of the catalysed particle filter.
The high pressure pump is supplied at low pressure by an integrated low pressure pump (transfer pump).
It supplies the rail, the pressure of which is controlled by the fuel flow actuator (MPROP) for charging, and for
discharging by the injector valves. This compensates for pressure drops. The flow actuator allows the high pressure
pump to supply the exact quantity of diesel fuel required to maintain the pressure in the rail. This component
minimises the heat generated and improves engine output.
In order to discharge the rail using the injector valves, the valves are controlled by brief electrical pulses which are:
– short enough not to open the injector (passing through the feedback circuit from the injectors),
– long enough to open the valves and discharge the rail.

Some vehicles have adopted a sensor for detecting water in the diesel fuel, located in the filter. If there is water in
the diesel fuel, the orange "Injection and pre-post heating" warning light will come on.
The system can inject diesel fuel into the engine at a pressure of up to 1600 bar. Before each operation, check that
the injector rail is depressurised and that the fuel temperature is not too high.
You must respect the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice specified in this document for any work on the high
pressure injection system.
Do not remove the internal parts of the pump and injectors. Only the flow actuator, the diesel temperature sensor
and the Venturi tube can be replaced.
For safety reasons, do not loosen high pressure pipe unions 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.
Do not remove an injection pump pulley marked with the number 070 575. If the pump needs to be replaced, replace
the pulley.
Supplying any system component directly with +12V 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.
b)The connections between the vehicle's various computers are multiplexed.
The electronic system fitted in this vehicle is multiplexed. This system 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,
– vehicle faults are displayed by the multiplex network,
– the vehicle speed sensor on the gearbox is not needed.
The vehicle speed signal on the instrument panel is transmitted by the ABS computer via a wire connection, then
sent out on the multiplex network by the instrument panel. The vehicle speed signal is used mainly by the injection
computer and the airbag computer.WARNING
The engine must not operate with:
– Diesel fuel containing more than 10% diester.
– petrol, even in tiny quantities.

If regeneration whilst driving has not been possible, the driver should request After-Sales regeneration in the
following cases:
– the soot weight is greater than 56 g for Vdiag 18.
– the soot weight is greater than 59 g or the number of failed regenerations is greater than 10 for Vdiag 1C
and 20.
This regeneration is carried out in the workshop. It is essential to follow the instructions described in the
interpretation of commands SC017 Particle filter regeneration. To carry out regeneration safely (see Te c h n i c a l
Note 5040A, Recommendations for particle filter regeneration).
Warning light management:
Instrument panel display
The computer manages the data display on the instrument panel relating to engine operation. This involves six
functions:
– the pre-postheating warning light,
– the coolant temperature warning light or warning message;
– the level 1 fault warning light (non-critical fault),
– the level 2 fault warning light (emergency stop),
– the OBD warning light (European On Board Diagnostic),
– particle filter warning message or light.
These six functions are represented by 4 or 5 warning lights and/or messages displayed by the trip computer.
In addition, for vehicles fitted with a voice synthesiser the illumination of some warning lights may be accompanied
by a spoken message (refer to the Driver's Handbook for the vehicle concerned).
A 3 second visual inspection (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel) is carried out by the
injection computer when the ignition is switched on.
Orange pre-post heating/non-critical fault SERVICE warning light (level 1)
This light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault indicator:
– Continuously lit with + after ignition feed:
Indicates plug preheating (this light goes out when preheating is complete and the engine is able to start).
– Continuously lit accompanied by the message Check injection or Electronic fault:
Indicates a level 1 fault (involving operation of the injection system in defect mode).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible. IMPORTANT
The particle filter must be replaced after a period of time which largely depends on the grade of engine oil used.
This information is provided in the vehicle's Driver's handbook.
After replacing the particle filter, it is essential to reconfigure certain parameters in the computer (see SC036
Reinitialise programming).

Temperature warning light/red EMERGENCY STOP (level 2)
This indicator light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault warning light. It lights up for
3 seconds after the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel):
– Continuously or intermittently lit, accompanied by the message Engine overheating:
Indicates engine overheating (the driver is free to choose whether or not to stop the vehicle).
–For Vdiag 50, 58 and 5C: continuously lit, accompanied by the message faulty injection:
Indicates a level 2 fault (in this case, the injection is automatically cut after a few seconds).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
–For Vdiag 18, 1C and 20: continuously lit, accompanied by the message Injection fault: stop the engine and by
a bleep, this indicates a level 2 fault.
In that case, the vehicle must be stopped immediately (when traffic conditions allow).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
ORANGE OBD excess pollution warning light
An engine symbol accompanied by the message Check emission control.
This warning light comes on if the system has one or more OBD faults.
This warning light is used to alert the driver of any injection faults that could lead to excessive pollution, or if the
EOBD system has been deactivated.
The injection computer requests illumination of the OBD warning light for a present fault only after three consecutive
driving cycles.
If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the flashing stops.
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
The 3 second visual inspection when the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the
instrument panel) is carried out by the injection computer.
Special particle filter ORANGE warning light or warning message (depending on instrument panel)
– Vdiag 50, 58, 5C:
This warning light or message is used to warn the driver that the particle filter is clogged or a significant number of
failed regenerations while driving due to driving conditions not being favourable for regeneration.

Fault finding – Replacement of components
COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING
Two operations must be performed when replacing or reprogramming the computer:
SC003 Save computer data and SC001 Enter saved data.
– Run command SC003 Save computer data before replacing or reprogramming the computer. This enables
certain data to be saved in the diagnostic tool so that the new computer* can be reconfigured like the old one.
The saved data includes: injector codes, EGR programming, specific data for particle filter operation and vehicle
options.
– Run command SC001 Write saved data after replacing or reprogramming the computer. This command
enables the data (saved by the command SC003 Save computer data) to be rewritten in the new computer*.
If you cannot establish dialogue with the computer being replaced: you will not be able to save anything.
After replacing the computer:
– Manually enter the IMA codes for each injector by reading the code on each injector (see 13B, Diesel injection,
Replacement of components, Injector replacement).
– Enter the data specific to particle filter operation by running SC036 Reinitialise programming and select After
replacing the injection computer with no save option.
Exhaust gas recirculation valve data is programmed automatically the 1st time the new computer is switched on*.
* New computer or reprogrammed computer.
Specific to the cruise control/speed limiter operation to be carried out before reprogramming of the
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.
The procedure for resetting the function is as follows:
– Vehicle ignition on.
– Position the cruise control/speed limiter switch in the rest position (the computer then detects the rest position).
– Position the cruise control/speed limiter switch in the Cruise control position to activate the Cruise control
function.
– Position the cruise control/speed limiter switch in the Speed limiter position to activate the Speed limiter function. IMPORTANT
– Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply).
– Connect a battery charger.
– Cut off all the electrical consumers (lights, interior lighting, air conditioning, radio CD, etc.).
– Wait for the engine to cool (engine coolant temperature < 60° and air temperature < 50°).
– For Vdiags 50, 58, 5C, during (re)programming of the computer, the engine fan assemblies are actuated
automatically.
– For Vdiags 18, 1C, 20, during (re)programming of the computer, the instrument panel screen displays
“Oil pressure fault”.
– Ignore this message and do not take any action in connection with it.
