1. HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAMINATION
The high pressure direct injection system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks caused by the introduction of
contamination are:
– damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
– a component seizing up,
– a component losing its sealing.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. This means that no impurities (particles
a few microns in size) should have penetrated the system during dismantling.
The cleanliness guidelines must be applied from the filter through to the injectors.
What are the sources of contamination?
– metal or plastic swarf,
– paint,
–fibres:
– from cardboard,
– from brushes,
– from paper,
– from clothing,
– from cloths,
– foreign bodies such as hair,
– the ambient atmosphere,
–etc.
2. INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED PRIOR TO ALL OPERATIONS
Check that you have plugs for the unions to be opened (set of plugs available from the Parts Department). The plugs
are single-use only. After use, they must be discarded (once used they are soiled and cleaning is not sufficient to
make them reusable). Unused plugs must be discarded.IMPORTANT
Cleaning the engine using a high pressure washer is prohibited because of the risk of damaging connections.
In addition, moisture may collect in the connectors and create faults in the electrical connections.
IMPORTANT
Before carrying out any work on the high pressure injection system, protect:
– the accessories and timing belts,
– the electrical accessories, (starter, alternator, electric power-assisted steering pump),
– the flywheel surface, to prevent any diesel from running onto the clutch friction plate.

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.

COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING
Two operations must be performed when replacing or reprogramming the computer:
SC003 Save computer data and SC001 Enter saved data.
–Run SC003 Save computer data before replacing or reprogramming the computer. This enables certain data
to be saved in the diagnostic tool so that the new computer* can be reconfigured like the old one. The saved data
are: injector codes, EGR programming, vehicle options.
–Run SC001 Enter saved data after replacing or reprogramming the computer. This enables the data (saved by
the command SC003 Save computer data) to be rewritten in the new computer*.
If you cannot establish dialogue with the computer being replaced: you will not be able to save anything.
After replacing the computer, write the IMA codes of each injector manually using command SC002 Enter injector
codes by reading the code on each injector (see Replacing the injectors).
Only on F9Q816 engines:
– Enter the data specific to particle filter operation by running SC036 Reinitialise programming and selecting after
replacing injection computer with no save option.
Exhaust gas recirculation valve data is programmed automatically the 1st time the new computer is turned on*.
* New computer or reprogrammed computer.
Specific to the cruise control/speed limiter operation to be carried out before reprogramming of the computer:
Before reprogramming the injection computer, move the main Cruise control/Speed limiter switch to the rest
position. The information about the cruise control or the speed limiter displayed on the instrument panel
disappears.
Otherwise, if the main switch remains in the cruise control or speed limiter position during and after reprogramming,
the Cruise control/Speed limiter function will not be operational.
The procedure for resetting the function is as follows:
– Vehicle ignition on.
– Position the main switch in rest position (the computer then detects the rest position).
– Position the switch in Cruise control position to activate the Cruise control function.
– Position the switch in Speed limiter position to activate the Speed limiter function. IMPORTANT
– Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply).
– Connect a battery charger.
– Cut off all the electrical consumers (lights, interior lighting, air conditioning, radio CD, etc.).
– Wait for the engine to cool (engine coolant temperature < 60° and air temperature < 50°).
– During (re)programming, the instrument panel screen displays "Oil pressure fault".
Ignore this message and do not take any action in connection with it.

IMPORTANT:
Before performing a second After-Sales regeneration of the particle filter, the engine must be allowed to cool down
for 2 hours with the bonnet open.
Do not carry out the usual engine oil change before a second After-Sales regeneration.
Only for Vdiag 50:
– Change the engine oil if a message on the instrument panel requests it.
For the other VDiag:
–Consult PR848 Number of regeneration failures. If PR848 is greater than 3, change the engine oil.
●Particle filter too full - replace the particle filter: regeneration has failed. The weight of soot in the particle
filter is so great that it is creating back-pressure. Deal with any faults that appear or replace the particle filter.
Run command SC036 Reinitialise programming and select After particle filter replacement.
– 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 computer power supply.
–Then switch on the ignition again, clear the present or stored faults from the computer memory (operation
to be carried out within 3 minutes of switching on the ignition).
– Check the weight of soot: PR383 Weight of soot in the particle filter.
– If PR383
≥ 1 g. Apply the procedure of test 12 Manual clearing of the weight of soot.
Only for Vdiag 50:
– Change the engine oil if a message on the instrument panel requests it.
– For the other Vdiags:
–Consult PR848 Number of regeneration failures. If this parameter is greater than 3, it is essential to change
the engine oil.
– Explain to the customer the procedure for regeneration when driving to avoid unnecessary repairs: see PART D
in the interpretation of DF312 Speed request.
