AC004TURBOCHARGING SOLENOID VALVE
NOTESPerform this fault finding procedure:
– following interpretation of an unresolved fault or,
– following application of the interpretation of PR041 Turbocharging pressure or
– after a customer complaint (loss of power, smoke etc.).
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note, Laguna II ph2, Vel Satis ph2, Espace IV
ph2, Mégane II ph2, Scénic II ph2.
1. The following procedure is for checking that the turbocharger and its control circuit are working
properly.
Preliminary operation
Check the high pressure air circuit is sealed:
Apply Test 4 Turbocharged air inlet circuit check or Test 3 Low pressure circuit check.
Pipe not joined or pierced, pressure sensor disconnected or poorly fitted (seal present), exchanger pierced.
To test the exchanger: stabilise the engine speed between 3500 and 4000 rpm with the vehicle stopped and
check that there are no leaks.
Measure the resistance between connections3FB and 3MG of component1475.
If the resistance is not between 18 Ω and 22 Ω at + 23°C, replace the turbocharging solenoid valve.
Check the continuity of the following connection:
•3MG between the components 120 and 1475.
Check the + 12 V after relay supply of the turbocharging solenoid valve on the following connection:
•3FB of component 1475.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.

Run command AC004; if a faint whistling noise is heard along with a clicking from the solenoid valve, go to STEP
2, otherwise check the operation of the computer output stage:
Vehicle under + after ignition feed, clear the faults displayed by the diagnostic tool.
With the voltmeter in the direct current position:
With the turbocharging solenoid valve connected, connect the voltmeter earth lead to connection 3MG of
component 1475 and the positive lead to connection 3FB of component 1475. Run command AC004; the
voltmeter must display four successive voltages between 2.2 V and 2.6 V.
If the measurement is not correct, contact the Techline.
2. turbocharger control circuit check
–Apply Test 7 Variable geometry turbocharger control.
– With the engine stopped, make sure that the control rod is in the resting position.
– Start the engine and make sure that the control rod actuates to the upper stop.
(when the engine stops, the control rod should return to the rest position).
If the control rod does not move correctly, carry out the following checks:
1. Check the control vacuum:
– Disconnect the solenoid valve inlet hose and connect it to a pressure gauge.
– Start the engine and run it at a stable idle speed.
If the vacuum does not reach a value between 0.250 bar and 0.550 bar, check the vacuum circuit from the
vacuum pump.
– Stop the engine, reconnect the inlet hose and move onto step no. 2.
2. Check the solenoid valve actuation:
– Disconnect the solenoid valve outlet hose.
– Start the engine and run it at a stable idle speed.
– Place your hand on the solenoid valve and block the outlet union with your thumb.
– If there is no perceptible vibration of the solenoid valve, contact the Techline.
3. Check the solenoid valve actuation:
– Connect the pressure gauge to the solenoid valve outlet union.
– Start the engine and run it at a stable idle speed.
If the vacuum does not reach a value between 0.250 bar and 0.550 bar, replace the solenoid valve.

STEP 2
In the event of rail overpressure:
Check that there are no air bubbles in the diesel fuel low pressure circuit.
Check that the rail pressure sensor is working, and then interpret parameter PR038 Rail pressure.
If these checks do not reveal any faults, replace the rail regulator.
in the event of rail underpressure:
Check the correct operation of the rail pressure sensor, as well as the interpretation of parameter PR038.
Check the low pressure diesel circuit priming.
Check the conformity of the diesel filter connections.
Check the condition of the filter (clogging and water saturation).
Check that there are no air bubbles between the filter and the high pressure pump.
Check the sealing of the low and high pressure diesel fuel systems: use ALP6 Fuel circuit leaks (visual
inspections, touch tests, odours, etc.) on:
pump body, pressure release valve, pipes, rail and injectors unions, injector wells, etc.
Check the conformity of the seal fitting on the pressure regulator.
Check the operation of the injectors: run Test 10 Incorrect injector operation.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
If the engine starts:
Clear any faults.
Check the rail pressure regulator using ALP7 Rough idling.
With the engine warm, leave it to idle for a few minutes (3 to 5 minutes):
– If it stalls and the fault reappears, replace the rail pressure regulator.
– If it does not stall, stabilise the engine speed at 2000 rpm (1 minute) then depress the accelerator fully until the
maximum engine speed imposed by the computer is obtained (~5500 rpm). The maximum rotation speed of the
engine must be stabilised in the time taken to fully depress and then fully release the pedal. This test is carried
out with no load (engine in neutral).
– If the engine stalls, contact the Techline
If the engine does not start or there is no timing, first replace the rail pressure regulator.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline

Interpretation:
If, during phase 3, there is no data outside of the maximum and minimum limits for each variable, then the air line
is correct and no component replacement is to be carried out. Check the fuel circuit or deal with present or stored
faults which are displayed on the diagnostic tool.
Note: the interpretation of faults during phase 3 should only be carried out in the following situation:
– The variables measured during phase 1 and 2 are correct, i.e. they are within the minimum and maximum
authorised limits. If this is not the case, apply the different Monitool fault finding procedures which relate to the
different faults revealed during the phase 1 and phase 2. To confirm the repairs or modifications carried out, run
the MT001 monitool test again.

If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Check the conformity of the engine earths (oxidation, tightness, etc.).
Check the mounting and condition (overheating) of the sensor.
Check the synchronisation of the camshaft sensors and the engine speed sensors with the display of ET238
Synchronisation. If synchronisation is not active, refer to the checks described in DF195 Camshaft/engine
speed sensor consistency.
Test the high pressure fuel circuit:
Run scenario SC035 High pressure fuel circuit fault finding.
To interpret the result, apply the interpretation of command SC035 (see Interpretation of commands).
Check the fuel circuit sealing: run Test 3 Low pressure circuit check.
If Test 3 is correct.
If Test 3 is not correct, proceed as follows:
Check the conformity of the type of heater plugs configured:
For Vdiag 20, 24, 38 and 74: consult ET781 Heater plugs in the Ignition/Preheating subfunction and check the
conformity with the type of plugs installed:
– Slow plugs have a black ring.
– Fast plugs have a white ring.
If the heater plugs are being replaced with plugs of a different type (see Replacement of components, Replacing
heater plugs).
For all Vdiags, check that all 4 plugs have the same colour ring.
Check that the heater plugs are actuated using the AC037 Preheating relay command.
Check the sealing and condition of the inlet circuit: run Test 4 Turbocharged air inlet circuit check, and follow
the related fault finding procedure (see Test 4).
