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.).

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.

Fault finding – Function13B
The exhaust system is fitted with an exhaust gas treatment system consisting of (in order):
●A shell casing containing an oxidation catalytic converter to treat hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, the volume
and positioning of which is identical to K9K Step 2 without a particle filter.
●A fuel injector supplied by a second fuel circuit which is independent of the main fuel circuit.
●A second casing containing an oxidation catalytic converter and a particle filter positioned under the vehicle floor.
EXHAUST GAS TREATMENT
Operating principle
Regeneration consists of burning the particles accumulated in the filter. When oxygen is present, regeneration
by particle combustion occurs naturally when the exhaust gas temperature reaches 570°C.
This temperature is very different to the temperatures observed in the normal operating range of a common rail
engine. In town, the engine does not produce much heat and the exhaust gas temperature varies between 250°C
and 300°C. Whatever the driving conditions may be, a particle filter regeneration program should be developed
without an effect on driving pleasure.
A differential pressure sensor monitors the status of the particle filter (particle weight) and triggers regeneration.
Regeneration is performed by specific injection regulation (phased injection and post-injection) which brings the
temperature of the exhaust gas to between 550 °C and 650 °C at the particle filter inlet.
Regeneration lasts at least 30 minutes and is carried out every 165 miles (275 km) (minimum interval between 2
successful regenerations).
Certain types of customer driving (mainly urban driving) may cause the particle filter to accumulate a significant
quantity of particles. This amount of soot may impair customer experience: poor vehicle performance due to
excessive pressure in the exhaust system.
This driving type may cause the speed request (Vdiag 45 and 49 only) warning light to come on when the particle
weight reaches 30.8 g or after 10 regeneration failures or if the distance between each regeneration reaches
111 0 m il es (1850 km). The customer is asked to drive in a certain way (see vehicle handbook).
However, this warning may be misinterpreted or taken to be a vehicle fault. The vehicle must not be returned to the
garage after such a warning; if the vehicle is taken back to the garage and accepted for repair, the mechanic should
carry out After-Sales regeneration.
PARTICLE FILTER INJECTOR PROGRAM
The particle filter injector is clamped in place inside a cooling cylinder head, which itself is attached to the output
cone of the first oxidation catalytic converter. The coolant flows into the cylinder head via a take-off pipe on the
cooling system and leaves via a hose connected to the turbocharger.
This injector is used to replace post injection in areas of low load and low flow.
This injector is supplied by an additional electric fuel pump.
The electric fuel pump is:
●controlled by a relay during each regeneration phase or purge,
●integrated into the suction module submerged in the tank,
●connected to the second fuel circuit.
