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.

c. Functions hosted:
Air conditioning management assistance:
For vehicles with air conditioning, the EDC16CP33 system provides the option of deactivating the air conditioning
via the UCH, under certain conditions of use:
– when requested by the driver,
– when starting the engine,
– if the engine overheats (in order to reduce the power the engine has to supply),
– when the engine speed is kept at a very high level (to protect the compressor),
– during transition phases (e.g. under heavy acceleration when overtaking, anti-stalling and moving off strategies).
These conditions are only taken into account when they do not occur repeatedly, in order to prevent system
instabilities (erratic deactivations),
– when certain faults appear.
I - Cold loop air conditioning management:
The air conditioning is the cold loop type and its management shared between several computers.
The injection computer is responsible for:
– authorising requests for cold air depending on the engine coolant temperature and the engine speed,
– calculating the power absorbed by the compressor from the refrigerant pressure.
–requesting fan assembly actuation (Mégane II ph2 and Scénic II ph2) and controlling fan assembly actuation
(Laguna II, Vel Satis ph2 and Espace IV ph2), according to the vehicle speed, the refrigerant pressure and the
engine coolant temperature.
The driver requests the air conditioning to be switched on by means of the ventilation selector coupled to a switch.
The cold air request is authorised or denied depending on the pressure measured. If this pressure is outside the
operating limits, the cold loop program is not activated.
The air conditioning system is authorised by the injection computer 2 to 8 seconds after the engine is started.
Management of the thermoplungers:
To improve cold starting, the vehicle is fitted with thermoplungers. These thermoplungers are managed and
controlled by the injection computer, according to the operating phases, primarily to accelerate the increase in
engine coolant temperature.
The maximum number of thermoplungers that can be actuated is four and their actuation depends mainly on the
coolant temperature and the air temperature.
See configuration reading LC056 Thermoplungers: WITH or WITHOUT.
When necessary, they are actuated by the injection system only during particle filter regeneration by means
of a special unit.
The maximum number of thermoplungers that can be managed is four and their activation depends mainly on the
coolant temperature (< 15°C) and air temperature (< 5°C).

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.

VI - Pre-postheating actuation
Pre/postheating control involves actuating the heater plugs and the preheating indicator light on the instrument
panel (multiplex signal).
The heater plugs are actuated by a static relay.
After the ignition is switched on, a preheating delay is activated. The length of time that the warning light is lit
depends on the coolant temperature, air temperature, atmospheric pressure and battery voltage. When the coolant
temperature is below a certain threshold, a postheating function can be used to improve the combustion stability,
and consequently engine operation (reducing unburnt particles and pollutant emissions). Postheating can last up
to5 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
There are two types of heater plug: SLOW and FAST:
SLOW plugs are identified by a black ring.
FAST plugs are identified by a white ring.
The heater plugs fitted on the vehicle must be replaced with plugs of the same type; otherwise there is
a risk of the heater plugs deteriorating which could lead to engine destruction.
Only Vdiag 20, 24, 38 and 74:
when replacing heater plugs with plugs which differ from those currently fitted on the vehicle (replacement of
SLOW plugs with FAST plugs), the computer must be configured (see Replacement of components, Replacing
heater plugs) by running command SC036 Reinitialise programming and selecting Heater plugs if this choice
is available, then following the procedure.

Warning light management:
Instrument panel display
The computer displays certain information on the instrument panel relating to engine operation. This concerns five
functions:
– the pre-postheating warning light,
– the coolant temperature warning light,
–the level 1 fault warning light (non-critical fault),
–the level 2 fault warning light (emergency stop),
–the EOBD (European On Board Diagnostic) warning light,
These six functions are represented by 3 warning lights and/or messages displayed by the on-board computer.
Orange pre-post heating/non-critical fault SERVICE warning light (severity 1)
This light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault indicator:
– Continuously lit with + after ignition feed:
Indicates preheating of the spark plugs.
– Continuously lit with the Check injection message:
Indicates a level 1 fault (involving operation of the injection system in defect mode).
The driver should have the repairs carried out as soon as possible.
Temperature / red emergency STOP warning light (level 2)
This indicator light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault warning light. It lights up for
3 seconds after the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel):
– Continuously lit:
Indicates engine overheating (the driver is free to choose whether or not to stop the vehicle).
– Continuously lit with the faulty injection message:
Indicates a level 2 fault (In this case, the injection is automatically cut after a few seconds).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
ORANGE Excessive pollution EOBD warning light
Symbolised by an engine, it lights up for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition is switched on.
This warning light comes on if the system has one or more EOBD faults.
This warning light is used to alert the driver to injection faults that could lead to excessive pollution, or if the EOBD
system (European On Board Diagnostic) has been deactivated.
The injection computer requests illumination of the EOBD warning light for a present fault only after three
consecutive driving cycles.
The 3 second visual inspection when the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the
instrument panel) is carried out by the injection computer.
Special particle filter ORANGE warning light or warning message (depending on instrument panel)
Only for Vdiag: 18, 1C, 54, 20, 58, 5C, 24, 26 and 60.
This warning light or message is used to warn the driver that the particle filter is loaded with particles, (see the soot
weight thresholds for illumination of the warning light for fault DF312 Speed request) due to driving conditions which
were not suitable for regeneration to take place. The driver must then drive as soon as possible at an average speed
of 48 mph (80 km/h) subject to the road conditions and authorised speed limits, until the warning light goes out.

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.
