Procedure
To save energy, the vehicle's UCH interrupts the + after ignition feed after 3 minutes.
To run fault finding on a computer, it is possible to force the + after ignition feed for 1 hour by applying the following
procedure:
– press the unlocking button on the card,
– insert the card in 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 (4 Hz).
This forced + after ignition feed mode is active for 1 hour.
Pressing the start button or removing the card from the card reader interrupts the forced + after ignition feed, but
does not interrupt the time period for the forced + after ignition feed. Until one hour has elapsed, activating the +
after ignition feed will restart forced + after ignition feed for the remaining time. Vehicle(s): MEGANE II phase 2, SCENIC II

Catalysed particle filter management (for F9Q816 engine only):
The particle filter prevents the escape of carbon particles emitted by the engine but not yet removed from the
exhaust gases.
The particle filter is a microporous structure containing channels arranged so as to force-filter the exhaust gases.
The exhaust pipe consists of several components:
– an oxidation catalytic converter mounted after the turbocharger. This catalytic converter ensures that HC/CO levels
meet current standards by generating the heat (rise in exhaust temperature caused by catalysis) required for
particle filter regeneration.
– a particle filter located under the body,
– a differential pressure sensor to inform the computer of the pressure difference upstream and downstream of the
particle filter
– a particle filter upstream temperature sensor,
– a particle filter downstream temperature sensor (only on certain F9Q816 engines in VDiag 48),
– a temperature sensor upstream of the turbine (TAVT).
During driving, the particle filter becomes loaded with particles of soot. When a given weight of soot determined by
computer mapping is reached, regeneration mode can be triggered if the maximum weight of soot in the particle filter
has not been reached and the engine operating conditions are met (coolant temperature, etc.)
Particle filter regeneration consists of burning the particles of soot that have accumulated in the filter.
The differential pressure sensor measures the particle filter inlet/outlet pressure differential; this measurement is
used to estimate the weight of soot present in the particle filter by mapping in the computer:
(soot weight = pressure differential as a function of exhaust volume flow rate).

If all the criteria are met, the computer enters regeneration mode. The injection programming is adjusted in order to
raise the target exhaust gas temperature between 550 and 650°C.
This temperature allows the particles accumulated in the filter to be partially or completely burnt (regenerated).
Regeneration efficiency depends on the particle filter inlet temperature and the time spent in regeneration mode.
Regeneration can be carried out automatically when driving if the weight of soot is less than 70 g and if the number
of regeneration attempts when driving is less than 11 (only for Vdiag 48).
If the weight of soot is greater than 70 g, the user will have to request an After-sales regeneration.
This regeneration is carried out in the workshop. Always follow the instructions written in the interpretation of
commands (SC017 Particle filter regeneration) to perform regeneration in complete safety.
After an After-sales regeneration, always reconfigure certain parameters in the computer using command SC036
Reinitialise programming (see "interpretation of commands").
Warning light management:
Instrument panel display
The computer displays certain information on the instrument panel relating to engine operation. This involves six
functions:
– the pre-postheating warning light,
– the coolant temperature warning message,
– the level 1 fault warning light (non-critical fault),
– the level 2 fault warning light (emergency stop),
– the OBD warning light (European On Board Diagnostic),
– the particle filter specific warning light (F9Q816 engine only).
These six functions are represented by 6 warning lights and/or messages displayed by the on-board computer.
In addition, certain warning lights are, when lit, accompanied by a spoken message on vehicles fitted with a voice
synthesiser (refer to the driver's handbook).
A 3 second visual inspection (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel) is carried out by the
injection computer when the ignition is switched on.IMPORTANT
The particle filter must be replaced after a period of time which largely depends on the grade of engine oil used -
this information is in the driver's handbook.
After replacing it, always reconfigure certain parameters in the computer using command SC036 Reinitialise
programming (see "interpretation of commands").

STATUS 7
Inconsistency between the request and the vehicle speed
Status ET415 changes to STATUS 7 if the computer detects too great a difference
between the speed requested by the driver and the vehicle speed.
This could occur when driving with cruise control active (ET042 Cruise control/
speed limiter: CRUISE CONTROL) and when there is a significant difference.
This inconsistency deactivates cruise control.
Reinitialise status ET415 on the injection computer by running command RZ001
Fault memory.
If status ET415 changes to STATUS 7 when on flat or even terrain, contact the
Techline.
STATUS 8Automatic transmission in defect mode.
Status ET415 becomes STATUS 8 when driving with cruise control active (ET042:
Cruise control/speed limiter: CRUISE CONTROL) and if the automatic
transmission is in defect mode.
This signal is conveyed on the multiplex line and deactivates the cruise control.
Carry out a multiplex network test, then run fault finding on the automatic transmission
computer.
Deal with any present or stored faults (see 23A, Automatic transmission).
Clear the automatic transmission computer memory by running command RZ001
Fault memory.
Reinitialise status ET415 on the injection computer by running command RZ001
Fault memory.
If STATUS 8 is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a road test, then check with the diagnostic tool.

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.).

Fault finding – Tests13B
TEST3 Low pressure circuit check
HIGH PRESSURE PUMP
Check the fuel filter:
– Conformity of the fuel filter (correct part number and RENAULT filter),
– positioning and clogging condition of the filter cartridge,
– Positioning and condition of the seals.
– if there is metal swarf in the filter:
Replace the fuel filter, bleed the circuit and continue the fault finding procedure.
●Supplying the injection system with fuel from an additional tank.
This operation aims to detect possible faults in the low pressure supply system of a vehicle by replacing it entirely with
an additional tank.
Mode:
– Disconnect the diesel fuel supply pipe at the fuel filter inlet and seal it with a plug.
– Connect a pipe to the fuel filter inlet and insert the other end in a clean container of approximately 5litres.
– Disconnect the diesel return pipe at the diesel temperature sensor (pump return and injector return join), and block
it using a plug.
– Connect a transparent pipe to the union of the diesel temperature sensor, and insert the other end in the container.
– Fill the container with clean diesel fuel.
– Start the engine and let the system drain itself of its air (there must not be any air bubbles in the return pipe).
Is the customer complaint still present?If the low pressure circuit is in order, reconnect
the various pipes of the low pressure circuit and
repeat the fault finding chart fault finding or of
the fault that referred you to this test.
