AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults. Clear the fault memory. 
Switch off the ignition until the end of the power-latch phase, and carry out a road test 
followed by a check using the diagnostic tool.

NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to a stored fault:
The fault is declared present after the ignition has been switched on.
Special notes: 
Use the bornier Elé. 1681 for all operations on the connectors of the injection 
computer.
The richness ratio sensor is only present on certain F9Q818 engines. Check that the 
vehicle is correctly equipped with this sensor.
Use Wiring Diagram Technical Note, Mégane II ph2, Scénic II ph2.
Check the condition of the connector of the richness ratio sensor (see Wiring Diagram Technical Note, Mégane 
II ph2, Scénic II ph2, Component code 1587).
Check the condition of the connector of the engine management computer (see Wiring Diagram Technical Note, 
Mégane II ph2, Scénic II ph2, Component code 120). 
If the connector or connectors are faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing 
electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
Check the continuity, insulation and absence of interference resistance on the following connections:
– Connection code 3AAS between components 1587 and 120.
– Connection code 3AAT between components 1587 and 120.
– Connection code 3AAU between components 1587 and 120.
– Connection code 3AAV between components 1587 and 120.
– Connection code 3AAW between components 1587 and 120.
Check for + 12 V on the connector of the richness ratio sensor.
– Connection code 3FB of component 1587.
If there is a repair method (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for 
repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

PR779RATIO SENSOR RICHNESS
PARAMETER 
DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the ratio sensor richness.
NOTESSpecial notes: 
This status only concerns certain F9Q818 engines. Check that the vehicle is correctly 
fitted with a richness ratio sensor
Conformity check with engine stopped and ignition on 
PR779 ≈ 1
In the event of a fault, refer to the interpretation of fault DF980 Richness ratio sensor function.
Conformity check with engine running, engine coolant temperature > 80°C
0.20 < PR779 < 0.40
 In the event of a fault, refer to the interpretation of fault DF980 Richness ratio sensor function.
