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.

REPLACING THE INJECTORS
After one or more injectors have been replaced, enter the IMA codes again and then run command SC036
Reinitialise programming.
To do this, record the IMA code(s) etched on the injector bodies, and enter the codes into the computer using
command SC002 Enter injector codes, and follow the instructions given by the diagnostic tool. Run command
SC036 Reinitialise programming and select injectors, then follow the procedure. Note:
The "IMA" code (individual injector correction) is a calibration with corrective values unique to each injector,
and is used to adjust their flow accurately (injector classification). This correction takes into account mechanical
variances and the variances of the piezo actuator. An injector's class is determined by measurements taken at
different pressures on a test bench. The IMA class identification (7-character alphanumeric code) is then
engraved on the collar of the injector.
The IMA codes must be read from left to right:
– Foolproofing for reading the IMA codes is carried out using the low pressure return connector and/or the
electrical connector on the injector.
– This reading direction is valid when these connectors are located to the left of the cotech.
The IMA codes are read from left to right (see illustration in MR 402 (Vel Satis ph2), MR 395 (Laguna II ph2),
MR 364 (Mégane II ph2), MR 370 (Scénic II ph2), MR 405 (Espace IV ph2) Mechanical, 13B Diesel injection,
Diesel injector, Removal – Refitting)
Note: When entering characters, confusion can arise between:
– Figure 1 and the letters I and L,
– Figure 2 and the letter Z,
– Figure 5 and the letter S,
– Figure 6 and the letter G,
– Figure 8 and the letter B.
After programming or reprogramming the computer, it is essential to enter the 4 injector codes before confirming
the entry.
These individual corrective values are then written to the computer EEPROM, which can then control the injectors,
taking into account their manufacturing variation.
IMPORTANT:
Engines can only operate correctly if the correct IMA* codes have been entered. If no code has been
entered, or if an invalid code has been entered, fault DF066 Injector code(s) is present and the engine will
run in defect mode (engine speed limited significantly). If another injector's code has been entered, the
system will accept it but will make the wrong correction. This could lead to engine damage, loss of
performance and excessive pollution.
Always use the correct injector codes for the engine cylinder/computer.
Note:
On the M9R engine (Renault - Nissan partnership engine), cylinder no. 1 is located at the timing end.
