Fault finding - Introduction
1. SCOPE OF THIS DOCUMENT
This document presents the fault finding procedure applicable to all computers with the following specifications:
2. PREREQUISITES FOR FAULT FINDING
Documentation type
Fault finding procedures (this manual):
– Assisted fault finding (integrated into the diagnostic tool), Dialogys.
Wiring diagrams:
– Visu-Schéma (CD-ROM), paper.
Type of diagnostic tools
–CLIP
Special tooling required
3. RECAP
Procedure
To save energy, the UCH of the vehicle interrupts the + after ignition feed after 3 minutes.
To carry out fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch the ignition to fault finding mode (forced + after ignition).
Proceed as follows:
– with the vehicle card in the card reader,
– press and hold start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not fulfilled,
– connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
To cut off + after ignition, proceed as follows:
– disconnect the diagnostic tool,
– vehicle card in reader,
– press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),
– Check that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer warning lights on the
instrument panel have gone out. Vehicle(s): Mégane II, Scénic II

a) The computer
– Determines the value of injection pressure necessary for the engine to operate correctly and then controls the
pressure regulator.
– It 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,
– fuel supply check (advance, flow and rail pressure),
– the fan assembly via the Protection and Switching Unit (centralised coolant temperature management
function),
– the air conditioning (cold loop function),
– the cruise control/speed limiter function,
– the pre-postheating control.
– the 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 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.

Multiplex connection between the vehicle's various computers
The Mégane II electronic system is a multiplex network. 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,
– the vehicle speed signal is transmitted by the ABS-ESP computer via the multiplex network.
The system can inject diesel fuel into the engine at a pressure of up to 1350 bar. Before each operation, check that
the injection rail is depressurised and that the fuel temperature is not too high.
When working on the high pressure injection system, you must follow the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice
specified in this document.
Removal of the internal parts of the pump and injectors is prohibited. Only the fuel flow actuator, the diesel fuel
temperature sensor and the air vent unit 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 strictly prohibited 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. IMPORTANT
The engine must not operate with:
– Diesel fuel containing more than 10 % diester,
– Petrol, even in tiny quantities.
