Fault finding – System operation
System outline
The high pressure injection system is designed to deliver a precise quantity of diesel fuel to the engine at a set
moment.
It is fitted with a 112-track BOSCH EDC16 C3 type computer.
The system is comprised of:
–a priming bulb on the low pressure circuit,
–a diesel filter,
–a high pressure pump with a built-in low pressure pump (transfer pump),
–a high pressure regulator mounted on the pump,
–an injector rail,
–a diesel fuel pressure sensor built into the rail,
–four solenoid injectors,
–a coolant temperature sensor,
–a cylinder reference sensor,
–an engine speed sensor,
–a turbocharger pressure sensor,
–an accelerator pedal potentiometer,
–an EGR solenoid valve,
–an atmospheric pressure sensor integrated into the injection computer,
–an air flow sensor with an air temperature sensor,
–a turbocharging pressure limitation solenoid valve,
–a motorised damper valve.
The common rail direct high pressure injection system works sequentially (based on the petrol engine multipoint
injection).
This injection system reduces operating noise, reduces the volume of pollutant gases and particles and produces
high engine torque at low engine speeds thanks to a pre-injection procedure.
The high pressure pump generates the high pressure and transmits it to the injector rail. The actuator located on the
pump controls the quantity of diesel fuel supplied, according to the requirement determined by the computer. The rail
supplies each injector through a steel pipe.

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.
Determines the injection duration necessary for supplying the correct quantity of diesel and the moment when
injection is required; controls each injector electrically and individually after determining these 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 CMV control via the Protection and Switching Unit (centralised coolant temperature management function),
–the air conditioning (cold loop function),
–the cruise control/speed limiter function,
–pre-post heating control,
–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 (MPROP) 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.

c) Hosted functions:
Air conditioning management assistance:
In the case of vehicles with climate control, the EDC16 system has the option of deactivating the air conditioning via
the UCH, under certain conditions of use:
–when requested by the driver,
–when starting the engine,
–if the engine overheats (in order to reduce the power the engine has to supply),
–when the engine speed is kept at a very high level (to protect the compressor),
–during transitory phases (such as demands for high acceleration when overtaking, anti-stall and start-up) These
conditions are only taken into account when they do not occur repeatedly, to prevent instability in the system
(erratic deactivations),
–when certain faults appear.
Cold loop air conditioning management:
The air conditioning is the cold loop type and its management shared between several computers.
The injection computer is responsible for:
–authorising cold requests according to the refrigerant pressure, the engine coolant temperature and the engine
speed,
–calculating the power absorbed by the compressor (from the refrigerant pressure),
–requesting operation of the GMV, from the UPC, according to the vehicle speed, the refrigerant pressure and the
engine coolant temperature.
The driver requests the air conditioning to be switched on by means of the ventilation selector coupled to a switch.
The cold air request is authorised or denied depending on the pressure measured. If this pressure is outside the
operating limits, the cold loop program is not activated.
Management of the damper valve:
The damper valve currently has three functions:
–the valve closes in order to block the passage of air towards the cylinders to shut off the engine. The aim of this is
to stop the engine as quickly as possible and to reduce instabilities as the engine is switched off.
–"valving" function depending on the engine operation: the damper valve closes by a few % to create a ''venturi''
effect at the EGR valve passage section.
The aim of this is to accelerate the air flow of EGR gases and to reduce the emission of pollutants.

Exhaust gas recirculation management
The exhaust gas recirculation system comprises a direct current EGR valve controlled by an H bridge in the
computer. This system has a built-in valve position feedback potentiometer.
The EGR valve is controlled in a closed loop on the change in the air flow measured by the flow sensor.
The potentiometer is used in the fault finding procedure for the EGR valve position.
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 fault level 1 warning light (non-critical fault),
–the fault level 2 warning light (emergency stop),
–the OBD warning light (European On Board Diagnostic).
These five functions are represented by 4 or 5 warning lights and/or messages sent by the trip computer.
A 3 second visual inspection is carried out by the injection computer when ignition is switched on (automatic
procedure for test managed by the instrument panel).
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 preheating of the spark plugs.
–Continuous lighting accompanied by the message CHECK INJECTION or ELECTRONIC FAULT:
Indicates a level 1 fault (implies operation in injection system defect mode).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
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. Lights up for
3 seconds when the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel):
–Continuously lit or alternately lit with ENGINE OVERHEATING message:
Indicates engine overheating (the driver is free to choose whether or not to stop the vehicle).
–Continuously lit with the FAULTY INJECTION message:
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.
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 warn the driver of injection faults leading to excessive pollution or that the EOBD* system
has been deactivated.
The injection computer requests activation of the OBD warning light for a present fault only after three successive
driving cycles.
A 3 second visual inspection is carried out by the injection computer when ignition is switched on (automatic
procedure for test managed by the instrument panel).

EOBD* management:
The OBD (On Board Diagnostic) system enables the detection of any faults relating to the vehicle emission control
system (OBD EURO IV emission control standards exceeded).
This system should be active for the entire life of the vehicle.
1. Conditions causing an OBD fault
An OBD fault will be detected after 3 driving cycles and the following parameters will be registered in the computer:
–engine load,
–vehicle speed
–air temperature
–coolant temperature,
–turbocharging pressure,
–rail pressure,
–air flow,
–distance travelled in miles by the vehicle since activation of the OBD warning light.
It allows the driver to know whether the vehicle has a fault directly linked to the emission control system.
2. System faults indicated by the OBD
Only a few faults are indicated by the OBD system:
–DF001 Coolant temperature sensor circuit.
–DF003 Atmospheric pressure sensor circuit.
–DF011 Sensor feed voltage no. 1.
–DF012 Sensor feed voltage no. 2.
–DF013 Sensor feed voltage no. 3.
–DF038 Computer in 6.DEF EEPROM fault.
–DF040 Cylinder 1 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
–DF041 Cylinder 2 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
–DF042 Cylinder 3 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
–DF043 Cylinder 4 injector circuit in CO Open circuit.
–DF054 Turbocharging solenoid valve control circuit in CC.0 Short circuit to earth.
–DF056 Air flow sensor circuit.
–DF209 EGR valve position sensor circuit.
–DF621 EGR valve jammed open.
Some repair operations require programming to ensure that certain engine components function correctly.
Follow the programming procedures (see Replacement of components), if replacing the exhaust gas
recirculation valve or an injector.

3. Conditions for clearing an OBD fault
An OBD fault is cleared in several steps.
The fault present in the diagnostic tool is not stored (following repair) until after 3 trips with the vehicle.
The OBD warning light will only light up after these 3 driving cycles.
The warning light coming on does not always mean that there is a fault on the system.
In order that the OBD fault and the display parameters are cleared from the computer, the system needs to
go through 40 engine heating cycles.
An engine heating cycle is a driving cycle during which:
–the engine coolant temperature reaches at least 71.1 ˚C,
–the engine coolant temperature varies by 22.2 °C in relation to the engine starting temperature.
If one of these conditions is not fulfilled, the OBD fault will still be present or stored in the injection computer.

COMPUTER REPLACEMENT OR REPROGRAMMING
Operations to be carried out before reprogramming the injection computer:
Before reprogramming the injection computer, move the main CC/SL 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.
The procedure for resetting the function is as follows:
–Vehicle ignition on.
–Move the cruise control/speed limiter switch to the rest position (the computer detects the rest position at that
moment).
–Move the cruise control/speed limiter switch to the Cruise control position to activate the Cruise control function.
–Move the cruise control/speed limiter switch to the Speed limiter position to activate the Speed limiter function.
Two operations must be performed when replacing or reprogramming the computer:
SC003 Save computer data and SC001 Enter saved data.
–Use SC003 before the computer is replaced or reprogrammed. This enables certain data to be saved in the
diagnostic tool so that the new computer* can be reconfigured like the old one. The saved data are: injector
codes, EGR programming, vehicle options.
–Run SC001 after the computer is replaced or reprogrammed. It enables you to rewrite the data (saved by
command SC003) to the new computer*.
If you cannot establish dialogue with the computer being replaced: you will not be able to save anything. After
replacing the computer, enter the IMA code of each injector manually, reading the code on each injector (see
INJECTOR REPLACEMENT).
Exhaust gas recirculation valve data is programmed automatically the 1
st time the new computer is switched on*.
* new computer or reprogrammed computer. IMPORTANT
–Switch on the diagnostic tool (mains or cigarette lighter supply).
–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 < 60˚ and air temperature < 50˚).
–The GMV are activated automatically when the computer is being reprogrammed.
