DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the weight of soot contained in the particle filter in g.
NOTESThis parameter exists only on F9Q816 engines
Conformity check with engine stopped and ignition on, or engine running, and engine coolant temperature
> 80°C, without electrical consumers
PR383 < 70 g.
If the weight is greater than 70 g carry out an After-Sales regeneration.
Check that there are no leaks or blockages in the exhaust pipe,
Repair if necessary
Run command SC017 Particle filter regeneration and follow the procedure (see Interpretation of commands).
In the event of a fault, refer to the interpretation of fault DF315 Particle filter diff* pressure sensor.

SC017PARTICLE FILTER REGENERATION
NOTESOnly run this command after interpretation of the following faults:
– DF308 Clogged particle filter,
– DF311 Failed regenerations limit exceeded,
– DF312 Speed request.
WARNING
It is essential to observe the health and safety regulations (see MR364 (Megane II ph2), MR370 (Scenic II
ph2), Mechanical, 19B, Exhaust, Particle filter: Cleaning) and observe the following procedure.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED:
The regeneration causes exhaust fumes and high temperatures.
The vehicle must be outside during regeneration.
If it is not possible to carry out regeneration outside, use an extractor fan that can withstand the very high
regeneration temperatures (400°C at the exhaust outlet).
Perform regeneration on a surface free from fire risks (oil, dry leaves, etc.). Nothing should be left in the vicinity
of the exhaust pipe.
IMPORTANT
– Check the engine oil level before running the command to avoid any engine racing. The oil level must
be between the minimum threshold and the middle level on the oil dipstick.
– Before performing a particle filter regeneration, it is essential to deactivate the air conditioning
compressor (risk of engine damage) and all the electrical consumers.
IF NECESSARY:
Regeneration can be stopped by briefly pressing the vehicle start button twice (less than 3 seconds).
Switch off the ignition and wait for the diagnostic tool message (maximum time 8 minutes) Communication lost
with computer: EDC16C36, check the tool connection and the computer supply. before switching on the
ignition again.
PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED:
Before a particle filter regeneration, check that there are no leaks or blockages in the exhaust pipe,
Repair if necessary
To run this command, select the command mode on the diagnostic tool, and select command SC017 Particle
filter regeneration.
When regeneration is complete, a message will indicate whether regeneration was successful, and what
operations need to be carried out (filter replacement, whether an oil service is required, etc.).

CONTINUED
If the result of scenario SC031 is not confirmed, check the engine compressions:
Use a compression gauge and run command VP036 Fuel supply inhibition (see Interpretation of commands).
Run compressions on all cylinders.
Are the compressions correct?
Check the cylinder block.Check the fitting of the injector and repair if necessary.
Otherwise change the injector concerned.
After replacing the injector, follow the injector code programming
procedure (see Replacement of components), run SC036
Reinitialise programming, and select the number of the injector
replaced.
IMPORTANT
When removing and refitting an injector, follow the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice (see MR 364
(Mégane II) or 370 (Scénic II), Mechanical, 13B, Diesel injection, Diesel injector: Removal - Refitting).

2. Turbocharger control circuit check:
– With the engine stopped, make sure that the control rod is in the resting position.
– Start the engine and make sure that the control rod actuates to the upper stop.
(when the engine is switched off, the control rod should return to the rest position)
If the control rod does not move correctly, carry out the following checks:
1) Control vacuum check:
– Disconnect the solenoid valve inlet hose and connect it to a pressure gauge.
– Start the engine and run it at a stable idle speed.
– If the vacuum does not reach 400 mbar ± 150: check the vacuum pressure circuit from the vacuum pump.
– Stop the engine, reconnect the intake hose and go to step no. 2.
2) Solenoid valve control check:
– Disconnect the solenoid valve outlet hose.
– Start the engine and run it at a stable idle speed.
– Place your hand on the solenoid valve and block the outlet union with your thumb.
– If there is no perceptible vibration of the solenoid valve, contact the Techline.
3) Solenoid valve operation check:
– Connect the pressure gauge to the solenoid valve outlet union.
– Start the engine and run it at a stable idle speed.
If the vacuum does not reach 400 mbar ± 150, replace the solenoid valve.

VP036INHIBIT FUEL SUPPLY
NOTESThis command enables you to disable the supply to the injectors.
This command is carried out with the engine switched off, and ignition on.
This command allows the injectors to be locked, so that starting is not possible.
Command VP036 allows the engine compressions to be checked in complete safety without disconnecting the
injector connectors or the TDC sensor.
Procedure to follow: (cylinder no. 1 is located on the flywheel end).
– Remove all the heater plugs, connect the compression gauge.
– Position the gear lever in neutral (manual gearbox) or on position P (automatic gearbox).
– Depress the brake pedal and maintain this position.
– Activate command VP036.
– Try to start the vehicle.
– Check the engine compressions.
Start the procedure again on another cylinder.
WARNING
Keep the brake pedal depressed for the length of the test.
Re-establish control of the injectors using command VP037 Stop fuel supply inhibition.

NOTESBefore analysing this customer complaint, check that there are no faults, and the
conformity (or otherwise) of the parameters and statuses, using the diagnostic
tool.
If the customer complaint is not eliminated, perform the following checks.
If the engine races during gear changes, if there is a floor carpet, check that this is not blocking the accelerator
pedal, the brake pedal and the clutch pedal, then check the conformity of the clutch switch and the conformity of
the accelerator pedal sensor when the pedal is released.
Measure the resistance of the engine speed sensor between the following connections:
– Connection code 3BG,
– Connection code 3BL,
of component 149.
Replace the sensor if the resistance is not 200 Ω to 270 Ω at +20°C
Check the continuity of the following connections:
– Connection code 3BG,
– Connection code 3BL,
between components120 and 149.
Check the conformity of the engine earths (oxidation, tightness, etc.).
Check the mounting and condition (overheating) of the sensor.
Replace if necessary.
Check the low pressure circuit, run test 3 Low pressure circuit check.
Apply the air flow test procedure (see Interpretation of statuses and Interpretation of parameters).
Check the turbocharger, apply the following tests:
– test 2: Air path at the turbocharger,
– test 6: Turbocharger control solenoid valve check,
– test 7: Turbocharger.
Test the high pressure fuel circuit:
Run scenario SC035 High pressure fuel circuit fault finding (see Interpretation of commands).
If the customer complaint is still present, contact Techline.
