THERMOPLUNGER 3 RELAY CONTROL
STATUS DEFINITIONACTIVE: This status indicates that the thermoplunger is supplied.
INACTIVE: This status indicates that the thermoplunger is not supplied.
NOTESStatus only available on certain Vdiag48 (depending on vehicle equipment).
INACTIVEStatuses ET205, ET206, ET207 are INACTIVE with the ignition on and the engine
stopped, or when the engine is warm.
ACTIVEStatuses ET205, ET206 and ET207 are ACTIVE when the engine is started, the
engine coolant temperature is low (< 15°C) and the air temperature is low (< 5°).
This program allows the engine coolant to be heated to enable the passenger
compartment to be heated.
The thermoplungers also act both to load the engine to improve regeneration of the
particle filter
To control the operation of the thermoplunger relays, run the following commands:
AC063 Thermoplunger no. 1 relay.
AC064 Thermoplunger no. 2 relay.
AC031 Thermoplunger no. 3 relay.
In the event of a fault, refer to the interpretation of faults:
DF032 Thermoplunger 1 relay control circuit.
DF033 Thermoplunger 2 relay control circuit.
DF034 "Heating element 3 relay control circuit".

ET238SYNCHRONISATION
STATUS DEFINITIONSynchronisation is carried out during the engine starting phase. The camshaft position
sensor and the TDC sensor are synchronised. Once this synchronisation has been
carried out, it enables the computer to identify cylinder n°1 and to ascertain the precise
position of the cylinder's top dead centre.
Synchronisation also allows the computer to determine the injection strategy.
NOTESSpecial notes:
Only perform these tests if the statuses do not correspond with the system
programming functions.
Conformity check with engine stopped and ignition on, or engine running, and engine coolant temperature
> 80°C
COMPLETEDStatus ET238 is DONE when the engine is started. The computer has identified
cylinder no. 1 and has identified the exact top dead centre position. Injection phasing
and engine management are now possible, and the engine should be working
properly.
NOT
PERFORMEDStatus ET238 is NOT COMPLETED if the engine has been stopped with the + after
ignition on.
If status ET238 remains NOT COMPLETED after an attempted start, consult the
interpretation of fault DF195 Camshaft sensor/engine speed consistency.
