Program No.: 91
Vdiag No.: 44, 4C, 48,

Particle filter:
The particle filter retains the particles for destruction during regeneration, preventing these particles from being
discharged into the atmosphere (engine type F9Q816 only).
TDC sensor:
The angular position is measured using a magneto-inductive sensor triggered by the machined teeth on the engine
flywheel. This sensor gives the engine speed as well as the position of the crankshaft for injection.
Camshaft sensor:
This sensor provides a signal to perform the injection cycle.
When the piston for cylinder 1 is at top dead centre (TDC), it may be either at the end of the compression stroke or
at the end of the exhaust stroke. The camshaft sensor makes the distinction between these two states.
Electric coolant pump:
The electric water pump is activated if the coolant temperature has reached a significant temperature threshold
when the engine has stopped.
Role: to cool the turbocharger when the engine is stopped.
Refrigerant pressure sensor:
Its role is to measure the refrigerant pressure in the air conditioning circuit.
Heating elements:
The heating elements heat the engine coolant to improve user comfort (only on certain types of F9Q816 engine
in Vdiag 48).
Engine coolant temperature sensor:
The engine coolant temperature sensor informs the computer of the engine coolant temperature.
Air temperature sensor:
The air temperature sensor is fitted inside the inlet manifold and informs the computer of the temperature of the air
taken in by the engine.
Turbocharging pressure sensor solenoid valve:
This solenoid valve operates the turbocharger wastegate pneumatic circuit to lower the turbocharging pressure.
Catalytic converter:
The role of the catalytic converter is to convert pollutant gases into harmless gases.
Fan unit relay:
This relay controls the activation of the engine cooling fan assembly when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded.
Accelerator potentiometer:
The accelerator potentiometer informs the computer of the position of the accelerator pedal (engine load).

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 a presence sensor mounted in the filter for detecting water in the diesel. 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.
Removal of the internal parts of the pump and injectors is prohibited. Only the fuel flow regulator/actuator, diesel fuel
temperature sensor and the venturi 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 is defective, replace the pressure sensor, rail and high pressure pipes associated with
the rail.
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. WARNING
The engine must not operate with:
– Diesel fuel containing more than 10% diester,
– petrol, even in tiny quantities.

Exhaust gas recirculation management:
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system involves removing exhaust gases and reintroducing them into the
inlet.
The exhaust gases are collected in the exhaust manifold (before the turbocharger), then directed to the EGR cooler
and the EGR valve.
EGR cooler
The EGR cooler bypass function cools the gases extracted from the exhaust via a gas-water exchanger and then
reintroduces the gases at the inlet. This cooler is equipped with an all-or-nothing solenoid valve, which enables
gases to be cooled or not cooled, depending on the emission control requirements.
EGR valve
The system comprises a direct current EGR valve and a potentiometer which reports the position of the valve.
A positive command controls its opening (0 → 100%).
The potentiometer serves to control and run fault finding on the valve.
The very first time the engine is started, then each subsequent engine start, the “valve closed” position is
programmed (offset). This value is compared to the very first offset or last programmed offset, for the purposes of
fault finding. It is also used to readjust the valve control function. This is why it is important to associate the EGR
valve to the computer which controls it.
Richness ratio sensor management (only on certain F9Q816 engines in VDiag 48):
The richness ratio sensor is mounted in the turbo outlet.
Its function is to reset the injection system drift.
The injection computer does not control the sensor immediately when the engine has just been started:
–ET300 Richness regulation is INACTIVE,
–PR779 Richness ratio sensor is equal to 1.
After a length of time that depends on the coolant temperature, with the engine running and in the absence of no
load conditions, the injection computer authorises the heating of the sensor:
–ET300 Richness regulation changes to ACTIVE,
– in about ten seconds, the PR778 Richness ratio sensor temperature increases to approximately 780°C,
– then the PR779 Richness ratio sensor displays a value of 0.3 ±0.1 at idle speed.
The turbocharger cooling pump:
Because of its high rotation speed, the turbocharger does not use ball bearings to ensure the pivot connection but
uses a bearing whose friction is reduced thanks to a pressurised film of oil.
When the engine is switched off, the oil is no longer under pressure and no longer provides the pivot connection. A
quantity of oil therefore remains, which collects around the bearing.
When the turbocharger is in operation, the bearing is subjected to high temperatures. After the engine is switched
off, the slow decrease in temperature heats the stagnant oil. This then modifies the viscosity of the oil and therefore
increases the risk of the turbocharger sticking.
To prevent this, a turbocharger coolant pump circulates coolant to lower the temperature of the turbocharger. It is
electrically activated for 5 mins if the engine coolant temperature exceeds 80°C. In addition, the coolant circulation
prevents deterioration of the liquid properties by stopping it collecting under the same temperature constraints as the
oil.

– If it stalls and the fault reappears, replace the regulator.
– If it does not stall, stabilise the engine speed at 2000 rpm(1 minute) then accelerate at full load until it cuts out.
If the engine stalls, contact the Techline
If the engine does not startor there is no timing:
first, replace the regulator and if the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
