Faults
Faults are declared either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but have not been 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 activated (without any of the system components being 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 section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions 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).
Conformity check
The purpose of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool when the
data is inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
– carry out 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 gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside permitted tolerance values, you should consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be dealt with by
customer complaints.
A synopsis of the general procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the form of a flow chart.

I - RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAMINATION
The high pressure direct injection system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks caused by the introduction
of contamination are:
– damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
– a component seizing up,
– a component losing its sealing.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. This means that no impurities
(particles a few microns in size) should have penetrated the system during dismantling.
The cleanliness guidelines must be applied from the filter through to the injectors.
What are the sources of contamination?
– metal or plastic chips,
– paint,
–fibres:
– from cardboard,
– from brushes,
– from paper,
– from clothing,
–from cloths,
– foreign bodies such as hair,
– the ambient atmosphere,
–etc.
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 faults in the electrical connections.

II - INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK
Ensure that you have plugs for the unions to be opened (set of plugs available from the Parts Department). Plugs
are to be used only once. They must be discarded after use (once used they are soiled and cleaning is not sufficient
to make them reusable). Unused plugs must be thrown away.
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. The bags are to be used once only, and discarded after use.
Use lint-free cleaning cloths (cloth part reference 77 11 211 707). The use of ordinary cloth or paper is not permitted.
They are not lint-free and could contaminate the fuel circuit. A lint-free cloth should only be used once.
Use fresh cleaning agent for each operation (used cleaning agent is contaminated). Pour it into a clean receptacle.
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 (tools, workbench, the parts, unions and injection system zones).
Check that no bristles are left.
Wash your hands before and during the operation if necessary.
When wearing leather protective gloves cover them with latex gloves to prevent contamination.IMPORTANT
Before carrying out any work on the high pressure injection system, protect:
– the accessories belts,
– the electrical accessories, (starter, alternator, electric power-assisted steering pump),
– the flywheel surface, to prevent any diesel from running onto the clutch friction plate.
– timing chain

Idling speed regulation
The computer handles the calculation of idling speed. This has to take account of the instantaneous power level to
be supplied, according to the following factors:
– engine coolant temperature,
– gear ratio engaged,
– battery charge,
– electrical consumers (Additional heating, Air conditioning, Fan Unit, electric windows, etc.) active or inactive,
– system faults detected.
Individual injector correction (C2I)
The DCM 1.2 system injectors must be calibrated with correction values so that their flow may be adjusted precisely.
Each injector is calibrated for different pressures on a test bench, and its specifications are shown on a label
attached to the body of the injector holders. These individual correction values are then entered into the computer
EEPROM, which can then control the injectors, taking their manufacturing variations into account.
Measuring the angular position (Cylinder reference sensor)
The angular position is measured using a magneto-inductive sensor triggered by machined teeth on the shaft
flywheel. This flywheel has sixty teeth separated by six degrees minus two missing teeth, that form a notch.
A second sensor (Hall effect) triggered by a machined tooth on the high pressure pump drive pulley (synchronised
with the camshaft), which rotates at half the engine speed, supplies an injection cycle running signal. By comparing
the signals from these two sensors, the computer's APS module (Angular Position Subsystem) is able to supply the
synchronisation components to the system assembly, namely:
– the angular position of the flywheel
– the speed and number of the active injector
– the injection cycle progress.
This module also supplies the system with the engine speed signal.
Flow capacity function (VLC)
Because of the combination of several parameters such as the diesel fuel temperature, part wear, clogging of the
diesel filter etc., the system limit may be reached during its service life. If this happens, the rail pressure cannot be
maintained because the pump lacks the necessary capacity. If the pump lacks the necessary capacity, this
programming will therefore reduce the requested flow to a value that will enable the pressure monitoring system to
control the pressure again.
The customer may have noticed a loss of vehicle performance when this program is activated (confirmed by status
Flow capacity function). This is part of normal operation.

Functions included
Air conditioning management assistance
On models with air conditioning, the DCM 1.2 system allows the air conditioning to be deactivated under certain
operating conditions:
– 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 (eg. high acceleration demand for overtaking, anti-stalling and moving off). These
conditions are only taken into account if they do not occur repeatedly, so as to prevent system instabilities (erratic
deactivation),
– when certain faults appear.
Cold loop air conditioning management
The air conditioning system is a cold loop system and is managed by the injection computer which is responsible for:
– managing the cooling request according to passenger compartment controls and the refrigerant fluid pressure
value,
– calculating the power absorbed by the compressor from the refrigerant pressure,
– determining the fan unit commands according to the vehicle speed and the refrigerant fluid pressure.
The driver requests the air conditioning to be switched on by means of the ventilation selector coupled to a switch.
This cooling request may or may not be authorised depending on the refrigerant fluid pressure measured. If this
pressure is outside the operating limits, the cold loop program is not activated.
Thermal regulation of the passenger compartment heating circuit
Engines with direct injection systems are characterised by the direct injection of fuel into the combustion chamber.
This leads to heat being lost through the upper part of the engine and consequently, the cylinder head cooling
system is smaller in size.
The effect of this is that the temperature of the coolant which flows through this circuit rises more slowly. This
coolant is also used by the passenger compartment heating system. In very cold conditions, it is therefore difficult to
achieve a comfortable passenger compartment temperature quickly.
To reduce the time taken to warm up the system, air heating resistors, called passenger compartment heating
resistors, are fitted in the passenger compartment heating circuit. The DCM 1.2 injection computer determines
whether it is necessary to physically control the passenger compartment heating resistors. The injection computer
determines, on the one hand, limitation of the passenger compartment heating resistor power control depending on
the alternator charge, and on the other hand, the inhibition of the passenger compartment heating resistors
according to the engine speed, load and vehicle speed.Note:
Fan unit control requests are made from the injection computer.
These requests depend on the air conditioning, but also on the engine coolant temperature and vehicle speed.

COMPUTER REPLACEMENT, PROGRAMMING AND REPROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
The system can be programmed via the diagnostic socket using the diagnostic tool (see Technical Note 3585A
Computer programming and reprogramming procedure and Technical Note 9869A Computer programming
and reprogramming procedure and following the instructions provided by the diagnostic tool).
Before removing the computer in After-Sales, save the computer data using the diagnostic tool by running
command SC003 Save computer data. This command saves the following information:
–C2I parameters (individual injector correction) and engine parameters,
–Measuring system information,
–Injection system reset data. IMPORTANT
– Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply).
– Connect a battery charger.
– Switch off all electrical consumers (lights, interior lights, air conditioning, radio/CD, etc.).
– Wait for the engine to cool (engine coolant temperature below 60°C and air temperature below 50°C).
IMPORTANT
It is not possible to try an injection computer coming from the Parts Department because it will no longer be
possible to use it on another vehicle.
