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.

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").

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.

Fault finding – Interpretation of parameters13B
PR873OIL OXIDATION SIGNAL
PARAMETER
DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the distance of the vehicle when the oil dilution threshold is
reached.
NOTESOnly apply the interpretation of this parameter if the OCS (oil control system)
program is activated on the instrument panel. On the instrument panel computer,
check the configuration reading LC106 OCS: WITH
This parameter is not operational in Vdiag44
Conformity check with engine stopped and ignition on, or engine running, and engine coolant
temperature > 80°C, without electrical consumers
The oil condition is calculated by the oxidation program in the injection computer, according to the number of
engine revolutions.
When this count reaches a certain threshold before the end of the oil service period, the injection computer sends
a signal to the instrument panel, which will display service due. Parameter PR873 corresponds to the vehicle
mileage at the time this signal is sent.
Then the instrument panel computer deducts 900 miles (1500 km) before displaying the message Service
required.
IMPORTANT
When the message Service required appears on the instrument panel, the customer must arrange an oil change
within the remaining 900 miles (1500 km).

PR875OIL DILUTION SIGNAL
PARAMETER
DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the vehicle mileage when the oil dilution threshold is reached.
NOTESThis parameter should be interpreted only if the OCS (Oil Control System) program
is activated on the instrument panel. On the instrument panel computer, check the
configuration reading LC106 O.C.S: WITH.
Conformity check with engine stopped and ignition on, or engine running, and engine coolant temperature
> 80°C, without electrical consumers
The injection computer assesses the dilution rate of the engine oil according to the customer's driving style. When
the dilution level reaches a certain threshold before the end of the oil change interval, the injection computer sends
a signal to the instrument panel, which then displays Service required. Parameter PR875 corresponds to the
vehicle mileage at the time this signal is sent.
IMPORTANT
When the message service required appears on the instrument panel, the customer must carry out an oil service
immediately to prevent damage to their engine.

PR1012WEIGHT OF SOOT AFTER REGENERATION
PARAMETER
DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the weight of soot, in g, in the particle filter after a
regeneration.
NOTESConsult this parameter after using SC017 Particle filter regeneration.
Conformity check: Engine stopped and the ignition on, or the engine running and the engine coolant
temperature > 80°C without electrical consumers.
If PR1012 is less than 15 g, the particle filter regeneration completed correctly.
If PR1012 is greater than 15 g, it is necessary to perform a second particle filter regeneration using command
SC017 Particle filter regeneration (see interpretation of commands).
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 (see SC017 Particle filter
regeneration).
