Clutch pedal switch:
The clutch pedal switch informs the computer of the pedal status.
Heater plugs:
The heater plugs preheat the combustion chamber so that the mixture detonation takes place under the best
conditions and thus start the engine.
Injector rail:
The injector rail receives and redistributes the fuel under high pressure to the injectors.
The richness ratio sensor:
The function of the proportional mixture sensor is to reset the injection system drift.
The turbocharger cooling pump:
This pump circulates the coolant to reduce the temperature of the turbocharger.
Particle filter downstream temperature sensor:
This sensor informs the computer of the temperature of the exhaust gases at the particle filter outlet (only on certain
engine types F9Q816 in Vdiag 48).
Particle filter upstream temperature sensor:
This sensor informs the computer of the temperature of the exhaust gases at the particle filter inlet (only engine
typeF9Q816).
Particle filter differential pressure sensor:
A differential pressure sensor monitors the status of the particle filter (particle weight) and triggers regeneration.
Role: To calculate the difference in pressure between the particle filter inlet and outlet (only engine type F9Q816).

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").

ORANGE particle filter specific warning light (F9Q816 engine only):
F9Q816 Vdiag 48 engines:
This warning light is used to warn the driver that the particle filter is loaded with particles (weight of soot greater than
36 g or more than 6 regeneration failures while driving due to driving conditions not being favourable for
regeneration). As soon as possible the driver must then drive at an average speed of 48 mph (80 km/h) subject to
the road conditions and authorised speed limits.
F9Q816 Vdiag 50 engines:
This warning light is used to warn the driver that the particle filter is loaded with particles.
European On Board Diagnostic management:
The OBD (On Board Diagnostic) system permits detection of any faults relating to the vehicle emission control
system (OBD EURO IV emission control standards being exceeded).
This system should be active for the entire life of the vehicle.
1. Conditions of an OBD fault appearing
An OBD fault will be detected after 3 trip cycles.
It allows the driver to know whether the vehicle has a fault directly linked to the emission control system.
2. System faults displayed by the OBD
List of the faults recorded by the OBD system:
– DF002 Air temperature sensor circuit.
– DF004 Turbocharging pressure sensor circuit.
