5. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
●when requesting technical assistance from Techline,
●for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is mandatory,
●to be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. The log is needed for warranty
reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.
6. SAFETY ADVICE
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
–make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load,
–use the appropriate tools.
7. CLEANLINESS ADVICE TO FOLLOW WHEN CARRYING OUT OPERATIONS ON THE HIGH PRESSURE
DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM
Risks relating to contamination
The system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks associated with contamination are:
–damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system and the engine,
–a component seizing or leaking.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. This means that no impurities (particles a
few microns in size) should be allowed to penetrate the system during dismantling or get into the circuits via the fuel
unions.
The cleanliness guidelines must be applied from the filter through to the injectors.IMPORTANT!IMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the procedure, enables you to keep
track of the procedure which is carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE COMPULSORY TO COMPLETE A FAULT FINDING LOG

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.

b) Multiplex connection between the different vehicle computers.
The electronic system fitted in this vehicle is multiplexed.
This 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.
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.
Removal of the internal parts of the pump and injectors is prohibited. Only the fuel flow actuator, the 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 fails, the pressure sensor, the rail and the five high pressure pipes must be replaced.
It is forbidden to remove any injection pump pulley bearing the number 070 575. If the pump needs to be replaced,
replace the pulley.
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.
