4.1 Connector check
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, cracked, broken, etc.), in particular to the fragile
components (lever, lock, terminal locations, etc.).
– Check that there is no heat damage (casing melted, blackened, deformed, etc.).
– Check that there are is no dirt (grease, mud, liquid, etc.).
4. Visual inspection of the metal contacts:
(The female contact is called CLIP. The male contact is called a 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 spring contact of the connector when the wire is pulled slightly.
– Check that there is no damage (tabs bent, clips open too wide, blackened or melted, 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 a poor
electrical contact. Restrict the number of connections/disconnections as far as possible.
Note:
The check is carried out on the 2 parts of the connection. There may be 2 types of connections:
– Connector/Connector.
– Connector/Device.

b. The connections between the vehicle's various computers are multiplexed.
The electronic system fitted in this vehicle is multiplexed.
It enables dialogue between the various vehicle computers. As a result:
– the fault warning lights on the instrument panel are lit by the multiplex network,
– 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 sent by the ABS computer via the multiplex network. The vehicle
speed signal is mainly used by the injection computer, the airbag computer and the automatic transmission
computer (if the vehicle is fitted with this).
c. Functions hosted:
Air conditioning management assistance:
For vehicles with air conditioning, the EDC16C36 system provides 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. under heavy acceleration when overtaking, anti-stalling and moving off strategies).
These conditions are only taken into account when they do not occur repeatedly, in order to prevent system
instabilities (erratic deactivations), when certain faults appear.
Management of the damper valve:
The damper valve currently 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.
– “valving” function depending on the engine operation: the damper valve closes by a few % to create a “'venturi”'
effect at the EGR valve passage section.
The aim of this is to accelerate the air flow of EGR gases and to reduce the emission of pollutants.
Thermoplunger management (only on certain F9Q816 engines in VDiag 48):
This vehicle is fitted with thermoplungers. They are managed and activated by the injection system.
There are two types of program:
– controlled by the injection system during particle filter regeneration,
– passenger compartment function; the air conditioning requests the injection to activate one or more thermoplungers
to raise the air temperature in the passenger compartment. The injection computer authorises the actuation or non-
actuation of the thermoplungers according to the operating phases and the power requirements of the engine.
The maximum number of thermoplungers that can be actuated is four. Their actuation depends mainly on the
coolant temperature (< 15°C) and the air temperature (< 5°C).

Exhaust gas recirculation management:
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system involves removing exhaust gases and reintroducing them into the
inlet.
The exhaust gases are collected in the exhaust manifold (before the turbocharger), then directed to the EGR cooler
and the EGR valve.
EGR cooler
The EGR cooler bypass function cools the gases extracted from the exhaust via a gas-water exchanger and then
reintroduces the gases at the inlet. This cooler is equipped with an all-or-nothing solenoid valve, which enables
gases to be cooled or not cooled, depending on the emission control requirements.
EGR valve
The system comprises a direct current EGR valve and a potentiometer which reports the position of the valve.
A positive command controls its opening (0 → 100%).
The potentiometer serves to control and run fault finding on the valve.
The very first time the engine is started, then each subsequent engine start, the “valve closed” position is
programmed (offset). This value is compared to the very first offset or last programmed offset, for the purposes of
fault finding. It is also used to readjust the valve control function. This is why it is important to associate the EGR
valve to the computer which controls it.
Richness ratio sensor management (only on certain F9Q816 engines in VDiag 48):
The richness ratio sensor is mounted in the turbo outlet.
Its function is to reset the injection system drift.
The injection computer does not control the sensor immediately when the engine has just been started:
–ET300 Richness regulation is INACTIVE,
–PR779 Richness ratio sensor is equal to 1.
After a length of time that depends on the coolant temperature, with the engine running and in the absence of no
load conditions, the injection computer authorises the heating of the sensor:
–ET300 Richness regulation changes to ACTIVE,
– in about ten seconds, the PR778 Richness ratio sensor temperature increases to approximately 780°C,
– then the PR779 Richness ratio sensor displays a value of 0.3 ±0.1 at idle speed.
The turbocharger cooling pump:
Because of its high rotation speed, the turbocharger does not use ball bearings to ensure the pivot connection but
uses a bearing whose friction is reduced thanks to a pressurised film of oil.
When the engine is switched off, the oil is no longer under pressure and no longer provides the pivot connection. A
quantity of oil therefore remains, which collects around the bearing.
When the turbocharger is in operation, the bearing is subjected to high temperatures. After the engine is switched
off, the slow decrease in temperature heats the stagnant oil. This then modifies the viscosity of the oil and therefore
increases the risk of the turbocharger sticking.
To prevent this, a turbocharger coolant pump circulates coolant to lower the temperature of the turbocharger. It is
electrically activated for 5 mins if the engine coolant temperature exceeds 80°C. In addition, the coolant circulation
prevents deterioration of the liquid properties by stopping it collecting under the same temperature constraints as the
oil.
