CRUISE CONTROL
Procedure to apply for Mégane II and Scénic II:
When the driver presses the main switch in the cruise control position, status ET042 
becomes CRUISE CONTROL.
If SPEED LIMITER or INACTIVE appears even though the cruise control button is 
pressed, carry out the following operations:
Check the connections of the cruise control/speed limiter main switch.
Check for + 12 V after ignition on the main switch connector.
●Connection code AP43 of component 1081 (Mégane II).
●Connection code AP43 of component 1546 (Scénic II).
Disconnect the switch and when it is in the rest position, check the insulation between: 
●Connection code AP43 and 3FX of component 1081 (Mégane II).
●Connection code AP43 and 3PD of component 1081 (Mégane II).
●Connection code AP43 and 3FX of component 1546 (Scénic II).
●Connection code AP43 and 3PD of component 1546 (Scénic II).
– Check the continuity between connections AP43 and 3PD of component 1081 
(Mégane II) and component 1546 (Scénic II) in the speed limiter position.
– Check the continuity between connections AP43 and 3FX of component 1081 
(Mégane II) and component 1546 (Scénic II) in the cruise control position.
If these checks show incorrect values, replace the main switch.
Check the insulation, continuity, and the absence of interference resistance on the 
following connections:
●Connection code 3FX,
●Connection code3PD.
Between components 1081 and 120 (Mégane II).

REQUEST TO START COMPRESSOR
STATUS DEFINITIONACTIVE: This status indicates that the compressor is engaged.
INACTIVE: This status indicates that the compressor is not engaged.
NOTESSpecial notes: 
Only perform these tests if the statuses do not correspond with the system 
programming functions.
Engine running, engine coolant temperature > 80 °C
ACTIVE
Status ET088 becomes ACTIVE if there has been a request for air conditioning (“AC” or 
“AUTO” button pressed, with maximum cold) and if status ET004 Air conditioning 
authorisation is YES. 
The selection is made on the air conditioning control panel, the request for air 
conditioning is transmitted to the UCH which in turn transmits the request to the 
injection computer which either authorises or does not authorise compressor activation. 
If the injection computer authorises compressor activation, it sends the compressor 
activation request to the Protection and Switching Unit (Vdiag 18, 1C, 20 only) and 
status ET088 becomes ACTIVE (climate control). 
If the vehicle is equipped with manual air conditioning, the air conditioning request is 
transmitted from the air conditioning control panel to the UCH which then accepts or 
does not accept the air conditioning compressor coming on depending on the operating 
status of the passenger compartment fan. When the request has been accepted, the 
request to switch on the compressor is transmitted to the injection computer which 
either authorises or does not authorise the compressor to start.
If the injection computer authorises compressor activation, it sends the compressor 
activation request to the Protection and Switching Unit (Vdiag 18, 1C, 20 only) and 
status ET088 becomes ACTIVE.
If there has been no compressor activation request and status ET088 remains ACTIVE 
(see62A, Air conditioning).
Note:
Compressor operation is only authorised when the engine is running.
Compressor switch-on is finally requested by the Protection and Switching 
Unit (Vdiag 18, 1C, 20 only).
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a road test followed by a check with the diagnostic tool.

INJECTOR CODE USE
STATUS DEFINITIONNO: This status indicates that injector code use is not available.
YES: This status indicates that injector code use is available.
FA U LT Y: This status indicates that there has been an injector code use fault.
NOTESSpecial notes: 
Only perform these tests if the statuses do not correspond with the system 
programming functions.
Conformity check with the engine stopped and the ignition on, or engine running, and engine coolant 
temperature > 80°C
NO
Status ET104 is NO if the computer is not configured to interpret the IMA codes 
(individual injector correction) 
Use command SC002 “Enter injector codes” (see Interpretation of commands).
YESStatus ET104 is YES if the IMA option (individual injector correction) is activated in 
the injection computer. 
All the injectors have IMA codes etched on the bakelite body, but not all computers 
use them.
In the case of a computer configured with the IMA option, the injector codes must be 
entered into the injection computer in the following scenarios:
– when one or more injectors is replaced,
– when the injection computer is replaced,
– when the injection computer is reprogrammed.
If the injector codes are not programmed after these operations, fault DF276 
“Injector code programming” will be present and the engine will operate in defect 
mode.
Use command SC002 Enter injector codes (see Interpretation of commands).
FA U LT YStatus ET104 is FA U LT Y if the computer does not have IMA codes in the memory.
Fault DF276 Injector code programming is present and the engine runs in defect 
mode.
Run command SC002 Enter injector codes (see Command summary table).
If at the end of the procedure status ET104 remains FA U LT Y, contact Techline.
