2. OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Warning lights illumination
The S3000 injection system manages the illumination of three warning lights and the issuing of warning messages
according to the severity of the faults detected, to inform the customer and to direct fault finding.
The injection computer manages the illumination of warning lights and warning messages displayed on the instrument
panel. These warning lights illuminate during the starting phase and in the event of an injection fault or engine
overheating.
The warning light illumination signals reach the instrument panel via the multiplex network.
Warning light illumination principle
During the starting phase (START button pressed) the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) warning light comes on for
approximately 3 seconds then goes out.
If there is an injection fault (severity 1), the INJECTION FAULT written message lights up followed by the SERVICE
warning light. It indicates a reduced level of operation and a limited safety level.
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
Components involved:
– motorised throttle valve,
– accelerator pedal potentiometer,
– inlet manifold pressure sensor,
–computer,
– actuator feed,
– computer feed.
If there is a serious injection fault (severity 2), the red engine symbol and the word STOP appear (display with
information display only), with the ENGINE OVERHEATING written message followed by the STOP warning light
and a buzzer. If this happens, the vehicle must be stopped immediately.
When a fault causing excessive pollution in the exhaust fumes is detected, the orange OBD warning light, an engine
symbol, will be lit:
–flashing in the event of a fault which might irreparably damaged the catalytic converter (destructive misfire). If this
happens you must stop the vehicle immediately,
–constantly in the case of non-compliance with the anti-pollution standards (pollutant misfire, catalytic converter
fault, oxygen sensor faults, inconsistency between the oxygen sensors and canister fault).
Mileage travelled with fault
This parameter serves to measure the distance travelled with one of the injection fault warning lights on: level 1 fault
warning light (amber), coolant temperature overheating warning light, or OBD warning light.
The counter can be reset to 0 using the diagnostic tool.

DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR VOLTAGE
NOTESThere must be no present or stored faults.
Check the cleanliness and condition of the downstream oxygen sensor connections.
Repair if necessary.
Disconnect the battery and the injection computer.
Using the universal bornier, check the insulation and continuity on the following connections:
Injection computer, connectorC, track A2 track D of the downstream oxygen sensor
Injection computer, connectorC, track B2 track C of the downstream oxygen sensor
Repair if necessary.
Check that the downstream oxygen sensor is secure.
Repair if necessary.
If the vehicle is driven frequently in town, carry out the unclogging procedure (oxygen sensors and catalytic
converter clogging).
Check that the exhaust pipe is completely leak free.
Repair if necessary.
Replace the downstream oxygen sensor.
If the fault is still present, the catalytic converter is certainly damaged.
If the catalytic converter is defective, determine the cause of the destruction, otherwise the new catalytic
converter may be damaged in turn.
Remove the catalytic converter.
Possible reasons for the destruction of a catalytic converter:
–deformation (impact),
–thermal shock (cold water splashed onto a hot catalytic converter can damage it),
–defective injector or ignition: the catalytic converter is damaged by contact with fuel (coil fault, coil control fault,
injector jammed open),
–injector leak,
–abnormal oil or coolant consumption (defective cylinder head gasket),
–use of a fuel additive or other equivalent product (obtain information from the customer because this type of
product can contaminate the catalytic converter and render it useless sooner or later).
Look up the service history of the vehicle or, if this is not possible, ask the customer if the vehicle has had injection
or ignition faults.
If the cause of the catalytic converter damage has been found and the fault has disappeared, replace the
catalytic converter.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.
