Adaptive idle speed correction
17
PRINCIPLE
Under normal warm engine operating conditions , the R.C.O. idle speed value at #12 varies between a
high value and a low value, until the nominal idle speed is obtained .
It is possible that during variations in the operation of the vehicle (running in, engine wear..), that the
R.C.O. idle speed value could become close to the highest or lowest values.
The adaptive correction (#21) of the
R.C.O. idle speed (#12) allows the slow variations in the engine air re-
quirement to be corrected, so that the
R.C.O. (#12) is recentred to an average nominal value.
This correction only becomes effective if the coolant temperature is higher than 75°C, 20 seconds after
starting the engine and if the nominal idle speed regulation phase has been reached.

INTERPRETATION OF THE GATE VALUES
In the case of excess air (air leak or throttle stop incorrectly adjusted ..) the idle speed increases, and the
R.C.O.idle speed value at #12 decreases , in order to return to the nominal idle speed; the value of the
R.C.O.idle speed adaptive correction at #21 decreases to re-centre the R.C.O. idle speed at #12.
In the case of a lack of air (contamination, etc.), the process is inverted : the
R.C.O. idle speed at #12 in-
creases and the adaptive correction at #21 also increases, in order to re-centre the #12 to an average nomi-
nal value.
IMPORTANT : It is vital, after erasing the memory from the computer (disconnecting the battery), to let the
engine run at idle speed before returning the vehicle to the customer, so that the adaptive correction can be
correctly reset.

OXYGEN SENSOR VOLTAGE (#05)
Reading #05 on the XR25 : the value read is the voltage sent to the computer by the oxygen sensor; it is ex-
pressed in volts (the value actually varies between 0 and 1 000 millivolts).
When the engine is in the loop phase, the voltage value should oscillate rapidly and should be between
50±50 mV (lean mixture) and 850 ± 50 mV (rich mixture) and vice versa.
The smaller the gap between the upper and lower values, the poorer the information from the sensor (the
gap is usually at least 500 mV).
RICHNESS CORRECTION (#35)
The value given under # 35 on the XR25 represents the average value of richness corrections made by the
computer depending on the richness of the burnt mixture as seen by the oxygen sensor (the oxygen sensor ac-
tually analyses the oxygen content of the exhaust gases directly from the richness of the burnt mixture).
The richness correction has a centre point of 128 with thresholds of 0 and 255 (experience has shown that un-
der normal operating conditions # 35 is located close to 128 with only a small amount of variation).
- Value less than 128 : request for mixture to be made leaner.
- Value greater than 128 : request for mixture to be made richer.
ENTRY INTO RICHNESS REGULATION MODE
Loop phase
Richness regulation begins after the timed starting period :
- for no load, if the coolant temperature has reached :
•46°C for the E7J engine ,
•30°C for the D7F engine.
- outside no load conditions if the coolant temperature is greater than :
•+ 20°C for the E7J, engine
•+ 20°C for the D7F engine.
The timed starting period is dependent on the coolant temperature :
- at 20°C it is a maximum of :
•3 minutes for the E7J engine,
•1 minute 20 seconds for the D7F engine,
- at 80°C it is a maximum of :
•1 minute 30 seconds for the E7J engine,
•35 seconds for the D7F engine,
If richness regulation has not yet started, #35 = 128

PRINCIPLE
In the loop mode (see section 17 "Richness regulation"), richness regulation (# 35), corrects the injection ti-
ming to give fuel metering which is as close as possible to richness 1. The correction value is close to 128, with
limit values of 0 and 255.
Variations may affect the components of the injection system and the correction may drift towards 0 or 255,
to ensure richness 1 is obtained.
Adaptive correction allows the injection mapping to be adjusted to recentre the richness regulation to 128
and to ensure a constant authority of correction to make the mixture leaner or richer.
Adaptive correction to richness regulation has two parts:
- Adaptive correction for average and high engine loads (#30)
- Adaptive correction for idle speed and low engine loads (#31).
Adaptive corrections take 128 as the average value after initialisation (erasing the memory) and have the
following threshold values:
Adaptive correction only takes place when the engine is warm, in the loop phase (#35 variable) and for a
specified manifold pressure range.
The engine must have operated in the loop mode for several pressure zones in order that adaptive correc-
tion begins to change to compensate for the variations in engine operating richness.
Following reinitialisation of the computer (return to 128 for # 30 and # 31) a special road test must therefore
be carried out.

D7F Pressure zones to cover during the test (reading #01)
Following this test the corrections will be operational.
# 31 varies more significantly for idle speed and low loads and # 30 for average and high loads, but both
are operational over all of the manifold pressure ranges.
The test should be followed by a normal, smooth and varied drive, covering a distance of 3 to 6 miles (5 to
10 km).
After the test, read the values for #30 and #31. Initially 128, they may have changed. If not, repeat the test
ensuring that the test conditions are observed.
ROAD TEST
Conditions :
- Engine warm (coolant temperature > 75° C).
- Do not exceed engine speed 4 400 rpm. for the D7F engine.
and 4 800 rpm. for the
E7J engine.
For this test , it is advisable to start from a fairly low engine speed , in 3rd or 4th gear using progressive acce-
leration to stabilise the required pressure for 10 seconds in each zone (see table).
NOTE : for the D7F engine, for example, for zone n° 1, attempt to maintain the average of 320 mbars for
at least 10 seconds.

INTERPRETATION OF INFORMATION GATHERED DURING A ROAD TEST
If there is a lack of fuel (injectors dirty, fuel pressure and flow too low...), richness regulation # 35 increases to
obtain the richness as close as possible to richness 1 and adaptive correction # 30 and # 31 increases until the
richness correction returns to oscillate around 128.
If there is an excess of fuel, the situation is reversed : Richness regulation # 35 reduces and adaptive
correction # 30 and # 31 also reduces to recentre the richness correction (# 35) around 128.
NOTE : the analysis which may be made using # 31 remains difficult since this correction mainly operates for
idle speed and low loads and is also very sensitive.
Hasty conclusions should not therefore be drawn from this gate value, rather the position of # 30 should be
examined.
The information from these two gates gives an idea about the engine operation richness, and may be used as
a guide for fault finding. In order for these to be put to good use during fault finding, no conclusion may be
drawn from their value unless they are at the minimum or maximum correction limit, and if both gate values
were offset in the same direction.
IMPORTANT : # 30 and # 31 should only be examined and analysed after a customer complaint, an opera-
ting fault and if they are at the threshold with the value for # 35 also offset (# 35 varies above 175 or be-
low 80).

There is no heater matrix water control valve.
Water flow is continuous in the heater matrix,
which contributes to the cooling of the engine.

Check the tightening of the drain plug(s).
Open the two bleed screws.
Fill the circuit through the opening in the expan-
sion bottle.
Tighten the bleed screws as soon as the liquid
flows in a continuous jet.
Start the engine (2 500 rpm).
Adjust the level by overflow for a period of about
4 minutes .
Close the bottle.
BLEEDING
Allow the engine to run for about 10 minutes at
2 500 rpm, until the fan(s) operate (time necessary
for automatic degassing).
Check the liquid level is at the "Maximum" mar-
ker.
DO NOT OPEN THE BLEED SCREWS WHILST THE
