a) The computer
– Determines the value of injection pressure necessary for the engine to operate correctly and then controls the
pressure regulator.
– It checks that the pressure value is correct by analysing the value transmitted by the pressure sensor located on
the rail.
– It determines the injection timing 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 flow injected into the engine is determined by:
– the duration of injector control,
– the rail pressure (regulated by the computer),
– the injector opening and closing speed,
– the needle stroke (determined by a constant for the type of injector),
– the nominal hydraulic flow of the injector (specific to each injector).
The computer manages:
– idling regulation,
– exhaust gas flow reinjection to the inlet,
– fuel supply check (advance, flow and rail pressure),
– the fan assembly via the Protection and Switching Unit (centralised coolant temperature management
function),
– the air conditioning (cold loop function),
– the cruise control/speed limiter function,
– the pre-postheating control.
– the fault warning lights via the multiplex network.
The high pressure pump is supplied at low pressure by an integrated low-pressure pump (transfer pump).
It supplies the rail, the pressure of which is controlled by the fuel flow actuator for charging, and for discharging by
the injector valves. This compensates for pressure drops.
The fuel flow actuator enables the high pressure pump to supply the exact quantity of diesel fuel required to maintain
the rail pressure. This component minimises the heat generated and improves engine output.
In order to discharge the rail using the injector valves, the valves are controlled by brief electrical pulses which are:
– short enough not to open the injector (passing through the feedback circuit from the injectors),
– long enough to open the valves and discharge the rail.

Multiplex connection between the vehicle's various computers
The Mégane II electronic system is a multiplex network. This enables dialogue between the various vehicle
computers. As a result:
– the activation of the fault warning lights on the instrument panel is performed by the multiplex network, with the
vehicle speed sensor on the gearbox deactivated,
– the vehicle speed signal is transmitted by the ABS-ESP computer via the multiplex network.
The system can inject diesel fuel into the engine at a pressure of up to 1350 bar. Before each operation, check that
the injection rail is depressurised and that the fuel temperature is not too high.
When working on the high pressure injection system, you must follow the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice
specified in this document.
Removal of the internal parts of the pump and injectors is prohibited. Only the fuel flow actuator, the diesel fuel
temperature sensor and the air vent unit can be replaced.
For safety reasons, it is strictly prohibited to undo a high pressure pipe union when the engine is running.
It is not possible to remove the pressure sensor from the fuel rail because this may cause circuit contamination
faults. If the pressure sensor fails, the pressure sensor, the rail and the five high pressure pipes must be replaced.
It is strictly prohibited to remove any injection pump pulley bearing the number 070 575. If the pump needs to be
replaced, replace the pulley.
Supplying + 12 V directly to any component in the system is prohibited.
Ultrasonic decoking and cleaning are prohibited.
Never start the engine unless the battery is connected correctly.
Disconnect the injection computer when carrying out any welding work on the vehicle. IMPORTANT
The engine must not operate with:
– Diesel fuel containing more than 10 % diester,
– Petrol, even in tiny quantities.

c) Warning light management
Instrument panel display
The computer manages the data display on the instrument panel relating to engine operation. This involves
5 functions:
– the OBD warning light (European On Board Diagnostic),
– pre/postheating warning light,
– the coolant temperature warning light,
– the fault level 1 warning light (non-critical fault),
– the fault level 2 warning light (stop immediately).
These five functions are represented by 3 warning lights or messages sent by the trip computer.
Pre/postheating indicator light
This warning light is used both as an in operation indicator light and as a system fault indicator:
– continuously lit under + after ignition feed: indicates that the heater plugs are operating,
– continuously lit with injection faulty: indicates a level 1 fault (involves injection system operating in defect
mode. The user must carry out repairs as soon as possible).
Temperature/emergency stop warning light
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 remains free to stop the vehicle or not),
– continuously lit, with the Engine stop message: indicates a level 2 fault (In this case injection is
automatically shut off after a few seconds).
Excess pollution OBD orange warning light
An engine symbol lights up for approximately 3 seconds when the engine is switched on.
For the Vdiag 44 and 48, it only lights up when the engine is running.
In Vdiag 4C, this warning light comes on if the system has one or more OBD faults.

Fault finding - Replacement of components
COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
The system can be programmed or reprogrammed via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic
tool (see Technical Note 3585A).
While the computer is being reprogrammed the engine fan assemblies are automatically triggered).
Operations to be carried out before reprogramming the injection computer:
Before reprogramming the injection computer, move the main Cruise control/Speed limiter switch to the rest position.
The information about the cruise control or the speed limiter displayed on the instrument panel disappears.
Otherwise, if the main switch remains in the cruise control or speed limiter position during and after reprogramming,
the Cruise control/Speed limiter function will not be operational.
To reset the function, proceed as follows:
Vehicle ignition on.
– Position the main switch in rest position (the computer then detects the rest position).
– Position the switch in Cruise control position to activate the Cruise control function.
– Position the switch in Speed limiter position to activate the Speed Limiter function.
Before reprogramming or replacing the computer in After-Sales operations, backup the following data to the
diagnostic tool:
– The IMA codes (individual correction of the injector).
– The engine adaptives (engine speed, and options available on the vehicle).
(this file corresponds to the last save carried out on the tool)
select YES,
When the backup is complete, replace the computer or reprogram, then proceed to the next step,
with command SC003 Backup computer data. IMPORTANT
–Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter feed).
–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).
WARNING
A computer without the IMA option can be replaced by a computer with this option. The codes have
therefore not been backed up during command SC003.
In this case, status ET104 "Injector code use" becomes "YES" or "FAULTY", fault DF276 "Injector code
programming" is present, and the engine operates in defect mode.
In this case, run command SC002 Enter injector codes, applying the procedure described in the
interpretation of this command.
