Fault finding – Function
SYSTEM FLOWCHART
The high pressure injection system is designed to deliver a precise quantity of diesel fuel to the engine at a set
moment.
The Siemens VDO piezo Common Rail system used on the K9K Step 2 engine is a second generation Common Rail
injection system. Fuel pressure in the rail can reach a maximum of 1650 bar.
The Siemens VDO piezo Common Rail system uses injectors which are controlled by piezoelectric actuators.
The fuel is pressurised by means of a high pressure pump then sent to a rail which supplies the four injectors.
The system includes two subsystems, which have different fuel pressure levels:
●the low pressure system which includes the tank, diesel fuel filter, internal fuel transfer pump and injector
return pipes,

Fault finding – Function13B
Engine synchronisation
One of the determining factors for fuel injection control is knowing the position of each of the pistons in their
respective cylinders at all times.
The angular position is measured using a TDC sensor triggered by machined teeth on the flywheel. The flywheel
has 60 teeth, with 2 teeth missing which forms a notch which is used as a reference point for the 1
st cylinder.
A second sensor (Hall-effect), excited by a machined tooth on the camshaft, and turning at half the engine speed,
provides information on the progress of the injection cycle. When the piston of cylinder 1 is at top dead centre (TDC),
either at the end of the compression stroke or at the end of the exhaust stroke, the camshaft sensor enables
a distinction to be made between these two states.
By comparing the signals from these two sensors, the computer is able to provide all of its systems with
synchronisation parameters, namely: the angular position of the flywheel, engine speed, the number of the active
injector and the progress of the injection cycle.
The module supplies the system with the rotation speed signal.
The camshaft sensor is only used when starting the engine. As soon as the engine is running by itself (not being
cranked by the starter), the signal provided by the TDC sensor is sufficient. A camshaft sensor fault, when the
engine is running, does not prevent the engine from operating correctly.
Quantity of fuel injected and control of start of injection
The parameters for controlling injection are, for each cylinder, the quantity to be injected and the start of injection.
These parameters are calculated by the injection computer using the following information:
– Engine speed.
– Accelerator pedal position.
– Turbocharging air pressure.
– Coolant temperature.
– Air temperature.
– Fuel temperature.
–Air flow.
– Pressure of fuel in the rail.

AIR SUPPLY
Measurement of the fresh air flow
The flow of fresh air entering the engine is measured by a flow sensor (ratiometric hot-wire sensor).
A fresh air temperature sensor is integrated into the air flowmeter.
EGR valve control
The EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system consists of a direct current EGR valve fitted with a valve position
sensor. The EGR valve is controlled in a closed-loop via the position sensor. Up to a certain rate, exhaust gas
recirculation enables nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to be reduced significantly.
Turbocharger control
The turbocharger system consists of a solenoid valve connected to the vacuum pump circuit, which controls the
vanes via a diaphragm to create an overpressure or a vacuum in the fresh air inlet circuit (the overpressure can
reach 2.6 bar).
Damper valve control (for Vdiag 44, 45, 48, 49 and 4D only)
By default the valve is open when in the rest position and is actuated only when the engine is switched off; this has
a damping effect and helps to stop the engine.
It also controls the flow of fresh air during regeneration.
IDLE SPEED MANAGEMENT
The injection computer regulates the idle speed according to the idle speed setpoint which it calculates.
The idle speed setpoint is dependent on:
– the coolant temperature,
– the emission control programs,
– air conditioning requirements,
– the gear ratio engaged (automatic or sequential gearbox),
– the electrical consumers,
– battery voltage.
ENGINE TORQUE MANAGEMENT
The torque structure is the system which translates the driver's request into a torque supplied by the engine. Certain
functions such as the electronic stability program (ESP), the automatic gearbox (BVA) or the sequential gearbox
(BVR), if fitted to the vehicle, use this information.
Each inter-system (ESP, automatic gearbox, sequential gearbox) sends the injection computer a torque request via
the multiplex network.
The injection computer arbitrates between the inter-system torque requests and the driver request (depressing the
accelerator pedal or setting the cruise control/speed limiter function). The result of the arbitration gives the torque
setpoint.
From this torque set point, the computer determines the quantity of fuel to be injected (injection duration and number
of injection processes) and the amount of air required (turbocharging pressure and EGR valve rate) so that the
engine is able to provide the torque required in the best possible conditions (in terms of smooth running
performance, pollutant emissions, etc.).

MANAGEMENT OF PRE/POSTHEATING
Pre-postheating management involves controlling the heater plugs and the heater plugs indicator light on the
instrument panel (via the multiplex network). The heater plugs are activated by a preheating unit and the power is
provided by the battery.
When the ignition is switched on, the preheating period is activated; the indicator light comes on for a period
dependent on the battery voltage, atmospheric pressure and coolant temperature.
When the coolant temperature is below a certain threshold, a postheating function enables combustion stability,
and thereby engine operation, to be improved (reduction in unburned fuel and pollutant emissions).
MANAGEMENT OF ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
Engine cooling is guaranteed by a 2-speed fan assembly (GMV) (slow: GMV1 and fast: GMV2).
The injection computer requests the UPC to actuate them via the multiplex network.
To provide cooling:
– Engine running:
GMV1 is activated when the coolant temperature exceeds 96°C and is deactivated when it drops below 94°C.
GMV2 is activated when the coolant temperature exceeds 104°C and is deactivated when it drops below 102°C.
If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the warning threshold of 120°C, the injection computer requests the
instrument panel computer, via the multiplex network, to switch on the coolant temperature warning light. The
warning stops if the coolant temperature drops below 117 ° C.
If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the threshold of 11 5 ° C, the injection computer requests the UPC
computer, via the multiplex network, to switch off the air conditioning compressor so as to reduce the load on the
engine and attempt to limit its rise in temperature. The cut-off request is cancelled if the coolant temperature drops
below 110°C.
If a fault in the coolant temperature sensor circuit is detected, the injection computer requests that the coolant
temperature warning light is lit and that GMV2 is activated.
In addition to engine management, the injection computer centralises the cooling requirements for the air
conditioning and automatic gearbox/sequential gearbox functions (if fitted to the vehicle).
OTHER HOSTED FUNCTIONS
The other functions hosted by the computer are:
– Multiplex line.
– ADAC (Trip Computer).
– Trip Computer Display.
– Engine immobiliser.
– Airbag.
– Engine stop management.
– Starter management.
– Air conditioning.
– Cruise control/speed limiter.

INTERSYSTEM EXCHANGES
The inter-system connections concerning the particular requirements of engine management are as follows:
●Request for injection computer to switch on the OBD warning light to warn of an OBD related pollution fault.
●Request to switch on the Level 1 warning light to warn of an operational safety fault with the engine
management system which may restrict performance.
●Request to switch on the Level 2 warning light to warn of an operational safety fault with the engine
management system which may result in the engine stopping.
●Request to switch on the Particle Filter and Service warning light to warn of an operational safety fault of the
particle filter system which may result in reduced performance or engine stoppage.
●Request to switch on the Engine overheating warning light to warn of an engine overheating fault or a fault
in the coolant temperature sensor.
●Request to switch on the Particle filter warning light to warn the driver that the particle filter is loaded with
particles (weight of soot more than 30.8 g). As soon as possible, the driver must drive at a speed of more than
25 mph (40 km/h) for 2 minutes to activate regeneration.
The driver must maintain a speed of more than 25 mph (40 km/h) until the particle filter warning light goes out
(Vdiag 45 and 49 only).
●Request to start the fan assembly for engine cooling and also for air conditioning purposes,
●Request to switch off the air conditioning compressor for engine programming requirements such as pulling
away, performance, anti-stalling, overspeed, etc.
●Request to switch off electrical consumers (passenger compartment heating resistor (if fitted), heated rear
screen, etc.) for engine operation purposes such as: pulling away, performance, anti-stalling,
overspeed, etc.
●Formulation of requests to engage electrical consumers and limit power as a function of rail conditions.
This last function is made possible with the introduction of alternator control. Formulation of requests enables
the smooth running of the engine to be improved in the critical operating phases, mainly at idle speed and
when pulling away. These requests pass via the multiplex network to the Protection and Switching Unit where
they are converted before being sent to the alternator.
In comparison to the version without a particle filter (K9K Step 2), the K9K Step 2 particle filter technical
specifications also include:
●Four temperature sensors spread along the exhaust system.
●One differential pressure sensor.
●One fuel injector with a dedicated electric fuel pump.
●An electric water pump (in addition to the mechanical pump) controlled by a relay to cool the turbocharger when
the engine is stopped (only for Clio III, Modus and Mégane II/Scénic II).
●Four heating elements and their control unit.
Oil Control System (OCS) (except Vdiag 44, 45 and 49)
This program takes into account the driving style of the user to warn him of the need for an oil change. This program
counts the number of miles since the last oil change, corrected by a factor which depends on the oil temperature.
When the number of miles exceeds a threshold, the customer is warned by a message to the instrument panel that
the drain must be performed.
After the oil change, the user must reset the oil change interval on the instrument panel.
