System outline
The high pressure injection system is designed to deliver a precise quantity of diesel fuel to the engine at a set
moment.
It is fitted with a BOSCH computer, type EDC16CP33.
The system comprises:
– a priming bulb,
– a diesel filter,
– a high pressure pump,
– a fuel pressure regulator (or actuator) on the high pressure pump (MPROP),
– a fuel pressure regulator (or actuator) mounted on the injector rail (DRV),
– an injector rail,
– a fuel pressure sensor,
– four piezoelectric injectors,
– a diesel temperature sensor,
– a coolant temperature sensor,
– an upstream air temperature sensor,
– a cylinder reference sensor,
– an engine speed sensor,
– a turbocharger pressure sensor,
– an exhaust gas recirculation valve,
– a recycled gas cooling solenoid valve,
– an accelerator pedal potentiometer,
– an atmospheric pressure sensor integrated into the injection computer,
– a flow sensor,
– a turbocharging limiter solenoid valve,
– a damper valve,
– a particle filter,
– a turbo upstream temperature sensor,
– a turbo upstream pressure sensor,
– a particle filter differential pressure sensor,
– a particle filter upstream temperature sensor,
– a particle filter downstream temperature sensor,
– an electric coolant pump (turbocharger),
– four thermoplungers.
The common rail direct high pressure injection system works sequentially (based on the petrol engine
multipoint injection).
This system uses piezoelectric injectors which enable a more precise injection since opening and closing times
are shorter compared to conventional solenoid injectors.
This injection system reduces operating noise, reduces the volume of pollutant gases and particles and produces
high engine torque at low engine speeds thanks to a pre-injection procedure.
The high pressure pump generates the high pressure and transmits it to the injector rail. The actuator located on
the pump controls the quantity of diesel supplied, according to the demand determined by the computer.
The rail supplies each injector through a steel pipe. The actuator located on the injector rail controls the pressure
of diesel fuel in the rail according to the demand determined by the computer.

a. The computer:
Determines the injection pressure value necessary for the correct operation of the engine; the pressure can reach
1600 bar in the rail and it must be constantly regulated.
Checks that the pressure value is correct by analysing the value transmitted by the pressure sensor located on
the rail.
Determines the injection duration required to deliver the right quantity of diesel fuel and the moment when injection
should start. Controls each injector electrically and individually after determining these two values.
The quantity of fuel injected is determined by:
– Engine speed (Crankshaft + Cam for synchronisation).
– Accelerator pedal.
– Turbocharging pressure.
– Coolant temperature,
– Inlet air temperature.
–Air flow
– Pressure in the rail.
– Vehicle speed.
The computer manages:
– idling regulation,
– exhaust gas flow reinjection to the inlet,
– fuel supply check (advance, flow and rail pressure),
– the fan assembly control,
– the air conditioning (cold loop function),
– cruise control/speed limiter function,
– pre-post heating control,
– indicator lights control via the multiplex network,
– the operation of the catalysed particle filter,
– turbocharging pressure.
The high pressure pump is supplied at low pressure by an integrated low pressure pump (transfer pump).
It supplies the rail, the pressure in which is regulated by:
–the pressure regulator on the rail (DRV) for starting phases, starting the engine when cold (increase in
temperature to heat the diesel circuit) and when throttling-off,
–the pressure regulator on the pump (MPROP) for all other phases (90% of cases).
As natural leaks in piezoelectric injectors are very low, opening the pressure regulator (DRV) is the only quick
method of dumping the rail pressure and it prevents overpressure when injection is restarted.
The pressure regulator on the pump (MPROP) enables the high pressure pump to supply just the exact quantity
of diesel fuel required to maintain the rail pressure. This component minimises the heat generated and improves
engine output.
Note:
Each piezoelectric injector is connected to the return rail. The injector return rail is kept pressurised by a
mechanical valve at the end of the return rail with a 10 bar calibration (by comparison, solenoid injectors used to
return directly into the common fuel return circuit). This feature is linked to the operation of piezoelectric injectors.

III - Management of the damper valve
The damper valve is now responsible for two functions:
– Damping: when the engine is switched off, the flap closes in order to block the passage of air towards the cylinders.
The aim of this is to stop the engine as quickly as possible and to reduce instabilities when the engine is switched
off.
– "Valving" function depending on the engine operation: the damper valve closes by a few % to create a "venturi"
effect at the EGR valve passage section.
The aim of this is to accelerate the air flow of EGR gases and to reduce the emission of pollutants.
IV - Exhaust gas recirculation management
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system involves removing exhaust gases and reintroducing them into the
inlet.
This system plays a major role in reducing diesel engine emissions. The EGR system is cooled by a gas - water
exchanger, as on most Euro IV engines. This cooler has a dual position bypass valve, which allows the gas to be
cooled or not depending on the emission control requirements. The bypass circuit is inside the cooler (not visible
from the outside). The valve control rod is visible from the outside.
The exhaust gases are collected in the exhaust manifold (before the turbocharger), then directed to the EGR cooler
and the EGR valve. The EGR valve connects the air circuit between the damper valve and the inlet manifold; the
EGR valve is positioned next to the damper valve.
The EGR valve is activated every time the engine stops by performing 10opening/closing cycles. This programming
activates the EGR valve in order to prevent it from clogging. The program is no longer active if there are any system
faults.
The EGR system does not operate below 5°C (air flowmeter temperature).
– The controlled EGR cooler bypass
The EGR cooler bypass is controlled by an all-or-nothing solenoid valve, connected on one side to the vacuum
pump, and on the other side to the bypass control diaphragm. It is actuated according to the coolant temperature
and the engine operating status. Gases flow into the EGR section of the cooler unless the engine is cold, in which
case they flow through the bypass valve. There is also a regular actuation function for the bypass valve to prevent it
from clogging.
– EGR valve
The EGR valve is supplied by direct current and connected to a potentiometer copying the position of the valve.
The opening of the valve is actuated (H bridge) by a positive command 0 to 100%.
The valve is controlled using a double regulation loop.
The first loop (fastest) is a position loop. It brings the valve to the desired position by a loop connection using the
signal from the position sensor.
The second loop is slower and is an air flow loop. At a given operating point, the air flow setpoint is attained by
adjusting the quantity of exhaust gas flowing through the EGR valve and the flow of fresh air passing through the
damper valve. At a total constant flow, the more exhaust gas recirculation, the less fresh air there is and vice versa.
The air flow is measured by the flowmeter and the setpoint is attained using both the EGR valve position setpoint
and the damper valve position setpoint.

The potentiometer serves to control and run fault finding on the valve. The very first time the engine is started, then
each subsequent engine start, the "valve closed" position is programmed (offset). This value is compared to the very
first offset or last programmed offset, for the purposes of fault finding. It is also used to readjust the valve control
function. It is therefore important to associate the EGR valve with the computer that controls it.
Important: the EGR valve offsets must be reinitialised when replacing the valve or reprogramming/replacing
the computer.
V - Catalysed particle filter management (only for Vdiag: 18, 1C, 54, 20, 58, 5C, 24, 28 and 62).
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 in order to force filter the exhaust gas.
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 catalysed particle filter located under the bodywork,
– a differential pressure sensor to tell the computer the pressure upstream and downstream of the particle filter,
– a particle filter upstream and downstream temperature sensor,
– a turbine upstream temperature sensor (TAVT).
As the vehicle is driven, the particle filter is loaded with particles (soot). Using a given weight of soot determined via
mapping in the computer, regeneration mode can be triggered if the maximum weight of soot in the particle filter is
reached and all engine operating conditions are met (coolant temperature, etc.).
Particle filter regeneration consists of burning the particles of soot 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:
(weight of soot = 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 then adjusted in
order to raise the target exhaust gas temperature to between 550 and 650°C.
This temperature allows the particles accumulated in the filter to be partially or completely burnt (regeneration).
Regeneration efficiency depends on the particle filter inlet temperature and the time spent in regeneration mode.
Regeneration can be performed automatically while driving if:
–the soot weight is less than the threshold for DF308 Clogged particle filter
–the number of regeneration failures while driving is less than the threshold for DF311 Failed regenerations
limit exceeded.

EOBD management (European On Board Diagnostic):
The EOBD system enables the detection of any faults relating to the vehicle emission control system
(EOBD EURO IV emission control standards exceeded).
This system should be active for the entire life of the vehicle.
1. Conditions for an EOBD fault appearing
An EOBD fault will be detected after 3 driving 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 EOBD
Only a few faults are indicated by the EOBD system:
– DF002 Air temperature sensor circuit.
– DF004 Turbocharging pressure sensor circuit.
– DF011 Sensor feed voltage no. 1.
– DF012 Sensor feed voltage no. 2.
– DF013 Sensor feed voltage no. 3.
– DF026 Cylinder 1 injector control circuit.
– DF027 Cylinder 2 injector control circuit.
– DF028 Cylinder 3 injector control circuit.
– DF029 Cylinder 4 injector control circuit.
– DF054 Turbocharging solenoid valve control circuit.
– DF056 Air flow sensor circuit.
– DF107 Computer memory.
– DF200 Atmospheric pressure sensor.
– DF209 EGR position sensor circuit.
– DF272 EGR valve control circuit.
– DF569 Turbocharging circuit.
Some repair operations require programming to ensure that certain engine components function correctly.
Follow the programming procedures (see Replacement of components), if replacing the exhaust gas
recirculation valve or an injector.
3. Conditions for clearing an EOBD fault
An EOBD fault is cleared in several phases.
The fault present in the diagnostic tool will only be stored (following repair) after the vehicle has been driven
3times.
The EOBD warning light will only go out after these 3 driving cycles.
The instrument panel warning light coming on does not automatically mean that the system has a fault.
In order for the EOBD fault and display parameters to be cleared from the computer, the system must go
through 40 engine heating cycles.
An engine heating cycle is a driving cycle during which:
– the engine coolant temperature reaches at least 71.1°C,
– the engine coolant temperature varies by 22.2°C in relation to the engine starting temperature.
If one of these conditions is not fulfilled, the EOBD fault will still be present or stored in the injection
computer.

COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING
Two operations must be performed when replacing or reprogramming the computer:
SC003 Save computer data and SC001 Enter saved data.
–Run SC003 before replacing or reprogramming the computer. This enables certain data to be saved in the
diagnostic tool so that the new computer* can be reconfigured like the old one. The saved data includes: injector
codes, EGR programming, specific data for particle filter operation and vehicle options.
–Run SC001 after replacing or reprogramming the computer. It enables you to rewrite the data (saved by
command SC003) to the new computer*.
Only Vdiag 20, 24, 38 and 74:
–Run SC036 Reinitialise programming and select Heater plugs (see Interpretation of commands); this will allow
you to configure the correct type of heater plugs fitted on the vehicle, if necessary.
If you cannot establish dialogue with the computer being replaced: you will not be able to save anything. After
replacing the computer:
– Write the IMA codes for each injector manually by reading the code on each injector; run command SC002 Enter
injector codes.
– Check the exhaust pipe for leaks or blockage. Repair if necessary.
– Perform an After-Sales regeneration, follow the procedure for command SC017 Particle filter regeneration (see
Interpretation of commands).
– It is essential to change the engine oil and oil filter.
– Enter the data specific to particle filter operation by running SC036 Reinitialise programming and selecting after
replacing injection computer with no save option.
– Enter the VIN into the computer, use command VP010 Enter VIN.
–Only for Vdiag 20, 24, 38 and 74: Configure the type of heater plugs fitted on the vehicle by running SC036
Reinitialise programming and selecting Heater plugs (see Interpretation of commands).
Exhaust gas recirculation valve data is programmed automatically the 1st time the new computer is turned on*.
* New computer or reprogrammed computer.
IMA*: Individual injector correctionOperations to be carried out before the injection computer is reprogrammed:
Before reprogramming the injection computer, move the main cruise control/speed limiter switch to the rest
position. The information about the cruise control or the speed limiter displayed on the instrument panel
disappears.
Otherwise, if the main switch remains in the cruise control or speed limiter position during and after reprogramming,
the cruise control/speed limiter function will not be operational.
The procedure for resetting the function is as follows:
Vehicle ignition on.
• Position the cruise control/speed limiter switch in the rest position (the computer detects the rest position at that
moment).
• Position the cruise control/speed limiter switch in the Cruise control position to activate the cruise control
function.
• Position the cruise control/speed limiter switch in the Speed limiter position to activate the speed limiter function.

REPLACING THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVE
After the exhaust gas recirculation valve has been replaced, the computer must store the new valve offset, and the
offset measured when the ignition was last switched off (in power latch phase), which corresponds to the valve
closing.
Using this data, the computer can detect whether the valve is clogged or seized.
When the valve is replaced, clear the stored offsets so that the program uses the new valve’s offset value.
The data associated with this program is compiled in the Emission control / EOBD (European On Board
Diagnostic) sub-function.
–PR128: FIRST EGR VALVE OFFSET.
–PR129: LAST EGR VALVE OFFSET > or = PR128 if the valve is new.
Programming PR128 and PR129 must be cleared every time the exhaust gas recirculation valve is replaced.
PROCEDURE to be followed after replacing the exhaust gas recirculation valve:
- Run command SC036 Reinitialise programming.
- Select EGR valve as the operation type, then follow the instructions given by the diagnostic tool.
• When the command is finished,
–switch off the ignition,
– wait for the diagnostic tool message (maximum wait 8 minutes): Loss of dialogue with the computer: EDC16
CP33, check the tool connection and the computer supply.
The new EGR valve offset is automatically reprogrammed the next time the ignition is switched on.
– start the vehicle to enable the latest EGR valve offset to be programmed,
– switch off the ignition,
– wait for the diagnostic tool message (maximum wait 8 minutes): Loss of dialogue with the computer: EDC16
CP33, check the tool connection and the computer supply before switching the ignition back on.
The last EGR valve offset reprogrammed is stored on the computer.
– then check the system faults, and clear any stored faults,
– if there are faults, deal with the present faults,
– clear the faults from the computer memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.
End of the procedure.Note:
When reinitialisation is complete, the Emission control / EOBD sub-function displays: PR128 = PR129 = 0%
Note:
When the new EGR valve offset has been reprogrammed, the Emission control / EOBD sub-function will display:
10% < PR128 < 40%
PR129 = 0%
Note:
When the last EGR valve offset has been reprogrammed, the Emission control / EOBD sub-function will display:
10% < PR128 < 40%,
10% < PR129 < 40%
