Expansion valve (CNG):
–Purpose:
–It enables the pressure of the gas from the tank to be lowered to a value which is compatible with the injection
system (injectors and temperature pressure sensor downstream from the expansion valve).
–The gas pressure is approximately 3 bar at the expansion valve outlet.
–It regulates the pressure in the injector rail to the pressure in the manifold.
Reducer (LPG):
– Purpose:
–It has the same functions as the expansion valve. Furthermore, it ensures that the fuel switches from a liquid state
to a gaseous state (the gas pressure is approximately 2 bar at the reducer output).
–Operation:
The LPG expansion valve and the CNG reducer are essential components and are composed of:
●a stage for lowering the pressure from 25 bar maximum to a pressure in line with the manifold pressure,
P
output = Pmanifold + 0.85 bars (LPG)
Poutput = Pmanifold + 1.8 bars (CNG with 100 bar of pressure in the tank)
●a pressure regulator, comprised of a system of valves, springs and diaphragms,
●a cut-off solenoid valve,
●a water heating system.
–The expansion solenoid valve
This component controls only supply of gas to the expansion valve. Controlled by the computer, the solenoid valve
allows LPG into the two stages of the expansion valve, thus supplying the LPG injectors.
2. Intersystem connections:
Connections to the other computers:
–Petrol injection computer,
–protection and switching unit
–instrument panel.

Sender and LPG indicator light programming:
–LPG indicator light:
–Sender indicator light:
Pressing the button determines which gauge is displayed ("petrol" level or "gas" level).
Illumination of the warning light for minimum gauge level depends only on the actual level of fuel in the tank.Note:
Before carrying out any work on the LPG system, check that the vehicle operates correctly in Petrol
mode.

COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
The system can be programmed and reprogrammed via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic
tool (see Technical Note 3585A or follow the instructions provided by the diagnostic tool).
After reprogramming or replacing the computer:
–Switch the ignition off and then on again.
–Start and run the engine in LPG mode then stop the engine (to initialise the computer) and wait for
30 seconds.
–Switch on the ignition and use the diagnostic tool to carry out the following steps:
–use command VP001 Write VIN,
–after the injection has been reprogrammed, stored faults may appear on other computers. Clear the memories of
these computers,
–carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool. IMPORTANT
–switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply),
–connect a battery charger,
–shut down all the electrical consumers (lights, interior lights, air conditioning, radio CD, etc.),
–wait for the engine to cool down (coolant temperature below 60 °C and air temperature below 50 °C).

1.DEF: Signal incoherent
2.DEF: Non-compliance with emission control standards
NOTESConditions for applying fault finding procedures to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after the engine has been running for 10 seconds in
LPG mode.
Appearance conditions:
The fault appears when the difference between the hard-wired petrol computer engine
speed signal and the multiplex network engine speed is greater than 300 rpm.
Manipulate the wiring between the LPG computer and the petrol computer in order to produce a change in status
(present ↔ stored).
Look for any damage to the wiring harness and check the connection and condition of the LPG computer and its
connections and carry out the same checks on the injection computer.
Repair if necessary.
Check the insulation and continuity on the wires of the following multiplex connections:
For Mégane 2:
LPG computer track A1
LPG computer track A2
For Logan:
LPG computer track A1
LPG computer track A2track K3, connector B, petrol computer
track K4, connector B, petrol computer
track 25 of the petrol computer
track 26 of the petrol computer
Repair if necessary.
Check the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the connection between:
LPG computer track F1 track C3, connector B, of the petrol computer
Repair if necessary.
If the fault is still present, deal with the other faults, then proceed to the conformity check.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any faults displayed by the diagnostic tool.
Clear the computer memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.

NOTESPriority when dealing with a number of faults:
If fault DF021 LPG tank solenoid valve relay circuit or fault DF018 + After ignition
feed supply or fault DF016 Impact detected are present or stored, deal with these
faults first.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after the engine is started and switched to LPG mode
or when command AC015 Tank solenoid valve is executed.
Manipulate the wiring harness between the gas computer and the gas tank solenoid valves in order to produce
a change in status (present ↔ stored).
Look for any damage to the wiring harness and check the connection and condition of the LPG tank solenoid
valves and their connections.
Repair if necessary.
Check the connection and condition of the LPG tank solenoid valve relay connector and its connections.
Replace the connector if necessary.
–check that the solenoid valve is supplied with +12V via track E3 of the LPG computer.
–check for + 12V on track D (for Mégane 2) or on track A (for Logan) of the LPG tank solenoid valve.
If necessary, check the insulation to earth and the continuity and absence of interference resistance on
the following connections:
For Mégane 2:
LPG tank solenoid valve track D
For Logan:
LPG tank solenoid valve track Atrack B5 of the LPG tank solenoid valve relay
