To cut off + after ignition, proceed as follows:
– disconnect the diagnostic tool,
– press the start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),
– check that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer warning lights on the instrument
panel have gone out.
Fault
Faults are declared present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but are not diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of the faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after
the + after ignition feed has been connected (with no system components activated).
For a present fault,apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the Notes paragraph.
If the fault is confirmed when the notes are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
– the electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
– the connectors on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.),
– the resistance of the faulty component,
– the condition of the wires (melted or cut insulation, wear).
Or use diagnostics to check the circuit of the suspect component.
Conformity check
The conformity check is designed to check the statuses and parameters that do not display any faults on
the diagnostic tool when inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
Run fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint,
– Check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repair.
– This section features the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters, and the conditions for checking
them.
If a status is not operating normally or a parameter is outside permitted tolerance values, you should consult
the corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault-finding chart
If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint is still present, it should be dealt with using
Customer complaints.NOTE:
The right-hand and left-hand xenon bulb computers are powered when the dipped headlights are lit. Fault finding
can only be carried out on them after the ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode (forced + after ignition
feed) and the dipped headlights are on.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the form of a flow chart.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring may temporarily clear the cause of a fault.
The electrical measurements of the voltage, resistance, and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is
not present when the measurements are being taken (stored fault).
Visual inspection
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.
Physical inspection
When handling the wiring, use the diagnostic tool to detect any change in the status of the fault from stored to
present.
Make sure that the connectors are firmly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.
Inspection of each component
Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs as well as their crimping (no crimping on
the insulation). Check that the clips and the tabs are correctly locked in the sockets.
Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.
Resistance check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or with another wire.
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.
5. FAULT FINDING LOG
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools.
The FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the procedure, enables you to
keep track of the procedure which is carried out. It is an essential document when consulting
the manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE COMPULSORY TO COMPLETE A FAULT FINDING LOG EVERY TIME A FAULT FINDING
PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED

You will always be asked for this log:
• when requesting technical assistance from the Techline,
• when requesting approval before replacing parts for which approval is compulsory,
• to be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. The log is needed for warranty
reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.
6. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any material damage or personal injury:
– check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions,
– use the proper tools.
7. CLEANLINESS INSTRUCTIONS WHICH MUST BE FOLLOWED WHEN WORKING ON THE HIGH-
PRESSURE DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM
Risks relating to contamination:
The high pressure direct injection system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks associated with
contamination are:
– damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
– components jamming,
– a component leaking.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. This means that no impurities
(particles a few microns in size) should penetrate the system during dismantling.
The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filter to the injectors.
What are the sources of contamination?
– metal or plastic swarf,
– paint,
– fibres from cardboard, brushes, paper, clothing and cloth.
– foreign bodies such as hair,
– ambient air,
–etc.WARNING
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE INJECTION SYSTEM, CHECK WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC
TOOL:
– that the rail is depressurised,
– that the fuel temperature is not too high.
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 electrical connection faults.

Advice to be followed before any operation
Protect the accessories and timing belts, the electrical accessories (starter, alternator, electric power assisted
steering pump) and the mating face to prevent diesel fuel spilling onto the clutch friction plate).
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.
Ensure that you have hermetically resealable plastic bags for storing removed parts. Parts stored in this way will be
less susceptible to the risk of contamination. These are single-use bags; after use they must be discarded.
Use lint-free cleaning cloths (part no. 77 11 211 707). Using normal cloth or paper is prohibited. They are not lint-free
and could contaminate the fuel circuit. Each cloth should only be used once.
Use fresh cleaning agent for each operation (used cleaning agent is contaminated). Pour it into an uncontaminated
container.
For each operation, use a clean brush in good condition (the brush must not shed its bristles).
Use a brush and cleaning agent to clean the unions to be opened.
Blow compressed air over the cleaned parts (the tools and workbench, as well as the parts, unions, and injection
system sections). Check that no bristles remain.
Wash your hands before and during the operation if necessary.
When wearing leather protective gloves cover them with latex gloves to prevent contamination.
Instructions to be followed during the operation
As soon as the circuit is open, all openings must be plugged to prevent impurities from entering the system.
The plugs to be used are available from the Parts Department. They must not be reused under any circumstances.
Close the hermetically sealed bag, even if it has to be reopened shortly afterwards. Ambient air carries impurities.
All components removed from the injection system must be stored in a hermetically sealed plastic bag once they
have been plugged.
Using a brush, cleaning agent, air gun, sponge or normal cloth is strictly prohibited once the circuit has been
opened. These items are likely to allow impurities to enter the system.
A new component replacing an old one must not be removed from its packaging until it is to be fitted to the vehicle.

System outline
The DDCR injection system used on the K9 engine is an electronically managed high pressure injection system.
The fuel is compressed by a high pressure pump then stored in a rail that feeds the injectors. Injection occurs when
a current pulse is applied to the injector holders. The injected flow is proportional to the rail pressure and to
the applied pulse length, and the start of injection is phased with the start of the pulse.
The circuit comprises two subsystems, which are distinguished by the fuel pressure level.
– The low pressure system includes the tank, diesel fuel filter, transfer pump and injector holder return pipes.
– The high pressure circuit contains the high pressure pump, the rail, the injector holders and the high pressure tubes.
Finally, there are a certain number of sensors and regulating actuators for controlling and monitoring the entire
system.
Functions provided
Function: Fuel supply management (timing, flow and pressure).
Quantity of fuel injected and injection timing adjustment
The injection checking parameters are the quantities to be injected and their respective timing. These are calculated
by the computer using signals from the following sensors:
• Engine speed (Crankshaft + Cam for synchronisation)
• Accelerator pedal
• Turbocharging pressure and air temperature (Turbocharger pressure)
• Coolant temperature
• Air temperature
• Air load (Flow and Pressure)
• Rail pressure
• Flowmeter
• Turbocharging solenoid valve
The quantities to be injected and their respective timing are converted into:
• a reference tooth
• the time between this tooth and the start of the pulse
• the time for which the supply to the injector holder is on
An electrical current (pulse) is sent to each injector holder according to previously calculated data. The system
makes one or two injections (1 pilot injection, 1 main injection). The general principle is to calculate an overall
injected flow which will then be divided into a main injection flow and a pilot injection flow, to help the combustion
process work properly and to reduce pollutant emissions.
An accelerometer is used to monitor some of the fuel injection deviation. This has several roles:
• Protecting the engine by detecting injection leaks (disabled on the basic vehicle).
• Checking the pilot quantity by measuring deviation and dispersion
• By changing both the duration and timing of the injection, the quantity of fuel injected and the mixture ignition timing
can be adjusted.
