Fault finding – Cleanliness guidelines
I - HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAMINATION
The high pressure direct injection system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks associated with
contamination are:
– damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
– components jamming,
– a component leaking.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. This means that no impurities (particles a
few microns in size) should have entered the system during dismantling.
The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filter to the injectors.
What are the sources of contamination?
– metal or plastic swarf,
–paint,
–fibres:
– from cardboard,
– from brushes,
–from paper,
– from clothing,
– from cloths,
– foreign bodies such as hair,
–ambient air
–etc.
II - INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED PRIOR TO ALL OPERATIONS
Check that you have plugs for the unions to be opened (set of plugs available from the Parts Department). The plugs
are single-use only. After use, they must be discarded (once used they are soiled and cleaning is not sufficient to
make them reusable). Unused plugs must be discarded.
Check 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. 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 electrical connection faults.
IMPORTANT
Before any work is carried out on the high pressure injection system, protect:
– the accessories and timing 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.

a) The computer:
Determines the value of injection pressure necessary for the engine to operate correctly and then controls the
pressure regulator.
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 (EGR),
– fuel supply check (advance, flow and rail pressure),
– the fan assembly control,
– the air conditioning (cold loop function),
– the cruise control/speed limiter function,
– pre-post heating control,
– indicator lights control via the multiplex network,
– the operation of the catalysed particle filter.
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 (MPROP) for charging, and for
discharging by the injector valves. This compensates for pressure drops. The flow actuator allows the high pressure
pump to supply the exact quantity of diesel fuel required to maintain the pressure in the rail. 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.

Some vehicles have adopted a sensor for detecting water in the diesel fuel, located in the filter. If there is water in
the diesel fuel, the orange "Injection and pre-post heating" warning light will come on.
The system can inject diesel fuel into the engine at a pressure of up to 1600 bar. Before each operation, check that
the injector rail is depressurised and that the fuel temperature is not too high.
You must respect the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice specified in this document for any work on the high
pressure injection system.
Do not remove the internal parts of the pump and injectors. Only the flow actuator, the diesel temperature sensor
and the Venturi tube can be replaced.
For safety reasons, do not loosen high pressure pipe unions 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.
Do not remove an injection pump pulley marked with the number 070 575. If the pump needs to be replaced, replace
the pulley.
Supplying any system component directly with +12V 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.
b)The connections between the vehicle's various computers are multiplexed.
The electronic system fitted in this vehicle is multiplexed. This system 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,
– vehicle faults are displayed by the multiplex network,
– the vehicle speed sensor on the gearbox is not needed.
The vehicle speed signal on the instrument panel is transmitted by the ABS computer via a wire connection, then
sent out on the multiplex network by the instrument panel. The vehicle speed signal is used mainly by the injection
computer and the airbag computer.WARNING
The engine must not operate with:
– Diesel fuel containing more than 10% diester.
– petrol, even in tiny quantities.

If regeneration whilst driving has not been possible, the driver should request After-Sales regeneration in the
following cases:
– the soot weight is greater than 56 g for Vdiag 18.
– the soot weight is greater than 59 g or the number of failed regenerations is greater than 10 for Vdiag 1C
and 20.
This regeneration is carried out in the workshop. It is essential to follow the instructions described in the
interpretation of commands SC017 Particle filter regeneration. To carry out regeneration safely (see Te c h n i c a l
Note 5040A, Recommendations for particle filter regeneration).
Warning light management:
Instrument panel display
The computer manages the data display on the instrument panel relating to engine operation. This involves six
functions:
– the pre-postheating warning light,
– the coolant temperature warning light or warning message;
– the level 1 fault warning light (non-critical fault),
– the level 2 fault warning light (emergency stop),
– the OBD warning light (European On Board Diagnostic),
– particle filter warning message or light.
These six functions are represented by 4 or 5 warning lights and/or messages displayed by the trip computer.
In addition, for vehicles fitted with a voice synthesiser the illumination of some warning lights may be accompanied
by a spoken message (refer to the Driver's Handbook for the vehicle concerned).
A 3 second visual inspection (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel) is carried out by the
injection computer when the ignition is switched on.
Orange pre-post heating/non-critical fault SERVICE warning light (level 1)
This light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault indicator:
– Continuously lit with + after ignition feed:
Indicates plug preheating (this light goes out when preheating is complete and the engine is able to start).
– Continuously lit accompanied by the message Check injection or Electronic fault:
Indicates a level 1 fault (involving operation of the injection system in defect mode).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible. IMPORTANT
The particle filter must be replaced after a period of time which largely depends on the grade of engine oil used.
This information is provided in the vehicle's Driver's handbook.
After replacing the particle filter, it is essential to reconfigure certain parameters in the computer (see SC036
Reinitialise programming).

Temperature warning light/red EMERGENCY STOP (level 2)
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 or intermittently lit, accompanied by the message Engine overheating:
Indicates engine overheating (the driver is free to choose whether or not to stop the vehicle).
–For Vdiag 50, 58 and 5C: continuously lit, accompanied by the message faulty injection:
Indicates a level 2 fault (in this case, the injection is automatically cut after a few seconds).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
–For Vdiag 18, 1C and 20: continuously lit, accompanied by the message Injection fault: stop the engine and by
a bleep, this indicates a level 2 fault.
In that case, the vehicle must be stopped immediately (when traffic conditions allow).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
ORANGE OBD excess pollution warning light
An engine symbol accompanied by the message Check emission control.
This warning light comes on if the system has one or more OBD faults.
This warning light is used to alert the driver of any injection faults that could lead to excessive pollution, or if the
EOBD system has been deactivated.
The injection computer requests illumination of the OBD warning light for a present fault only after three consecutive
driving cycles.
If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the flashing stops.
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
The 3 second visual inspection when the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the
instrument panel) is carried out by the injection computer.
Special particle filter ORANGE warning light or warning message (depending on instrument panel)
– Vdiag 50, 58, 5C:
This warning light or message is used to warn the driver that the particle filter is clogged or a significant number of
failed regenerations while driving due to driving conditions not being favourable for regeneration.

REPLACING THE INJECTORS
After replacing one or more injectors, re-enter the IMA codes.
The system must be configured via the diagnostic socket using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic tool.
PROCEDURE to be followed after replacing one or more injectors:
– make a note of the IMA code(s) engraved on the injector body,
– enter these codes in the computer using command SC002 Enter injector codes, then follow the instructions
given by the diagnostic tool,
– once the command has finished,
– switch off the ignition,
–wait 1 minute before switching on the ignition again,
– return to fault finding mode,
– select the function "Computer identification" on the main screen,
– check that the injector codes entered into the computer match those found on the bodies of the injectors:
– if the codes do not match, repeat the procedure for command SC002 Enter injector codes.
– if the codes do match, check the system faults and clear any stored faults,
– otherwise, deal with faults that are present and clear the faults in the computer memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.
End of operation.Note:
The IMA coding (individual injector correction) is a calibration made in production on each injector to adjust
the flow accurately.
These correction values are etched onto the Bakelite body of each injector (6 alphanumeric characters) and then
entered into the computer, which then controls each injector taking into account their manufacturing variance.
IMPORTANT
Cylinder no. 1 is located on the flywheel end.
IMPORTANT
Engines can only operate correctly if the correct IMA codes have been entered.
If no codes have been entered or if an invalid code has been entered, fault
DF276 Injector code programming is present and the engine will be in defect mode (significant engine
speed restriction).
If another injector’s code has been entered, the system will accept it but will make the wrong correction.
This could lead to engine damage, loss of performance and excessive pollution.
Always use the correct injector codes for the engine cylinder/computer.
