Fault finding – Introduction
1. SCOPE OF THIS DOCUMENT
This document presents the fault finding procedure applicable to all computers with the following specifications:
2. PREREQUISITES FOR FAULT FINDING
Documentation type
Fault finding procedures (this manual):
– Assisted fault finding (integrated into the diagnostic tool), Dialogys.
Wiring Diagrams:
– Visu-Schéma (CD-ROM), paper.
Type of diagnostic tools
– CLIP + multiplex line sensor
Special tooling required
3. REMINDERS
Procedure
In order to save energy, the LAGUNA II Phase 2 UCH cuts off the + after ignition feed after 3 minutes.
To run fault finding on a vehicle computer, it is possible to force the + after ignition feed for 1 hour by applying the
following procedure:
– Press the card unlocking button.
– Insert the card into the reader.
– Press the start button (interrupting the timed + after ignition feed mode).
– Press the start button for more than 5 seconds, without conditions for starting being met, until the
immobiliser warning light flashes rapidly (4Hz).
– Connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
This forced + after ignition feed mode remains active for 1 hour.
Pressing the Start button or removing the card from the card reader cuts off the + after ignition feed but does not
cut off the forced after ignition feed timed mode. As long as one hour has not elapsed the + after ignition feed
function restarts the forced + after ignition feed for the remaining time. Vehicles: MEGANE II ph1 and ph2, SCENIC II ph1

3. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)
3.1 Checking the wiring
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Visual inspection
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the protectors, insulation, and routing of the wiring, as well as the mountings.
Tactile inspection
When manoeuvring the wiring, either use the diagnostic tool to detect a change in status, from "stored" to
"present", or the multimeter to view the status changes.
Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
Checking earth insulation
This check is carried out by measuring the voltage (multimeter in voltmeter mode) between the suspect connection
and the 12 V or 5V feed. The correct measured value is 0V.
Checking insulation against + 12 V or + 5 V
This check is carried out by measuring the voltage (multimeter in voltmeter mode) between the suspect connection
and the earth. In the first instance, the earth may be taken on the chassis. The correct measured value is 0V.
Continuity check
A continuity check is carried out by measuring the resistance (multimeter in ohmmeter mode), with the connectors
disconnected at both ends. The expected result is: 1Ω±1Ω for each connection. The line must be fully checked,
and the intermediate connections are only included in the method if this saves time during the fault finding
procedure. The continuity check on the multiplex lines must be carried out on both wires. The measured value
should be 1Ω±1Ω.
Checking the supply
This check may be carried out using a test light (21 W or 5W depending on the maximum authorised charge).

3.2 Checking the connectors
1. Visual inspection of the connection:
– Check that the connector is connected correctly and that the male and female parts of the connection are
correctly coupled.
2. Visual inspection of the area around the connection:
– Check the condition of the mounting (pin, strap, adhesive tape, etc.) if the connectors are attached to the
vehicle.
– Check that there is no damage to the wiring trim (sheath, foam, adhesive tape, etc.) near the wiring.
– Check that there is no damage to the electrical wires at the connector outputs, in particular on the insulating
material (wear, cuts, burns, etc.).
Disconnect the connector to continue the checks.
3. Visual inspection of the plastic casing:
– Check that there is no mechanical damage (casing crushed, split, broken, etc.), in particular to the fragile
components (lever, lock, sockets, etc.).
– Check that there is no heat damage (casing melted, darker, deformed, etc.).
– Check that there are no stains (grease, mud, liquid, etc.).
4. Visual inspection of the metal contacts:
(The female contact is called CLIP. The male contact is called TAB.)
– Check that there are no bent contacts (the contact is not inserted correctly and can come out of the back of the
connector). The contact comes out of the connector when the wire is pulled gently.
– Check that there is no damage (folded tabs, clips open too wide, blackened or melted contact, etc.).
– Check that there is no oxidation on the metal contacts. Note:
Carry out each requested check visually. Do not remove a connector if it is not required.
Note:
Repeated connections and disconnections alter the functionality of the connectors and increase the risk of poor
electrical contact. Limit the number of connections/disconnections as much as possible.
Note:
The check is carried out on the 2 parts of the connection. There may be two types of connection:
– Connector/Connector.
– Connector/Device.

c) Functions hosted:
Air conditioning management assistance:
In the case of vehicles with climate control, the EDC16 system has the option of deactivating the air conditioning via
the UCH, under certain conditions of use:
– when requested by the driver,
– when starting the engine,
– if the engine overheats (in order to reduce the power the engine has to supply),
– when the engine speed is kept at a very high level (to protect the compressor),
– during transition phases (e.g. high acceleration demand for overtaking, anti-stalling and moving off). These
conditions are only taken into account if they do not occur repeatedly, so as to prevent system instabilities
(erratic deactivation),
– when certain faults appear.
Cold loop air conditioning management (Mégane II only):
The air conditioning is the cold loop type and its management shared between several computers.
The injection computer is responsible for:
– authorising cold requests according to the refrigerant pressure, the engine coolant temperature and the engine
speed,
– calculating the power absorbed by the compressor (from the refrigerant pressure),
– requesting operation of the GMV, from the UPC, according to the vehicle speed, the refrigerant pressure and the
engine coolant temperature.
The driver requests the air conditioning to be switched on by means of the ventilation selector coupled to a switch.
The cold air request is authorised or denied depending on the pressure measured. If this pressure is outside the
operating limits, the cold loop program is not activated.
Management of the damper valve:
The damper valve has three functions:
– the valve closes in order to block the passage of air towards the cylinders to shut off the engine. The aim of this is
to stop the engine as quickly as possible and to reduce instabilities as the engine is switched off.
– a "valving" function depending on the various engine functions: the damper valve closes by a few % in order to
create a venturi effect in the EGR valve flow section.
The aim of this is to accelerate the EGR gas flow rate and to reduce the emission of pollutants.
– regulatory function during the regeneration of the particle filter.
Thermoplunger management (only for Vdiag 58, 5C,18, 1C and 20):
This vehicle is fitted with thermoplungers. They are managed and activated by the injection system.
See configuration reading LC056 Thermoplungers: WITH or WITHOUT.
When necessary, the thermoplungers are actuated by the injection system only during particle filter
regeneration by means of a specific unit.
The maximum number of thermoplungers that can be managed is four; their activation depends mainly on the
coolant temperature (< 15°C) and air temperature (< 5°C).
