b. The connections between the vehicle's various computers are multiplexed.
The electronic system fitted in this vehicle is multiplexed.
It enables dialogue between the various vehicle computers. As a result:
– the fault warning lights on the instrument panel are lit by the multiplex network,
– 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 sent by the ABS computer via the multiplex network. The vehicle
speed signal is mainly used by the injection computer, the airbag computer and the automatic transmission
computer (if the vehicle is fitted with this).
c. Functions hosted:
Air conditioning management assistance:
For vehicles with air conditioning, the EDC16C36 system provides 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 transition phases (e.g. under heavy acceleration when overtaking, anti-stalling and moving off strategies).
These conditions are only taken into account when they do not occur repeatedly, in order to prevent system
instabilities (erratic deactivations), when certain faults appear.
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.
Thermoplunger management (only on certain F9Q816 engines in VDiag 48):
This vehicle is fitted with thermoplungers. They are managed and activated by the injection system.
There are two types of program:
– controlled by the injection system during particle filter regeneration,
– passenger compartment function; the air conditioning requests the injection to activate one or more thermoplungers
to raise the air temperature in the passenger compartment. The injection computer authorises the actuation or non-
actuation of the thermoplungers according to the operating phases and the power requirements of the engine.
The maximum number of thermoplungers that can be actuated is four. Their actuation depends mainly on the
coolant temperature (< 15°C) and the air temperature (< 5°C).

Orange pre-postheating warning light
This warning light is used as an in-operation indicator lamp:
– Continuously lit under + after ignition feed: indicates preheating of the heater plugs.
It goes out when preheating is complete and the engine is able to start.
Orange "SERVICE" non-critical fault warning light (level 1)
This warning light is used to indicate a fault in the system:
– Continuously lit with the CHECK INJECTION message:
Indicates a level 1 fault (involving operation of the injection system in defect mode).
The driver should have the repairs carried out as soon as possible.
Temperature/red emergency STOP (level 2) warning light
This indicator light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault warning light.
– Intermittently lit with the ENGINE OVERHEATING message:
Indicates that the coolant temperature is too high (the driver is free to stop the vehicle or not).
– Continuously lit with the INJECTION FAULT: STOP THE ENGINE message and an audible beep indicates a level
2 fault.
In that case, the vehicle must be stopped immediately (when traffic conditions allow).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
European On Board Diagnostic excess pollution ORANGE warning light
Engine symbol with the CHECK EMISSION CONTROL message.
This warning light comes on if the system has one or more OBD faults.
This warning light is used to alert the driver to injection faults that could lead to excessive pollution, or if the EOBD
system (European On Board Diagnostic) has been deactivated.
The injection computer requests illumination of the OBD warning light for a present fault only after three successive
driving cycles.
The driver should have the repairs carried out as soon as possible.

NOTESSpecial notes:
This fault appears when the computer control section has
overheated.
– A road test may be necessary.
Priority when dealing with a number of faults:
Deal with the statuses CO, CC.0, and CC.1 first if they are
present or stored.
After any operation on the damper valve, run SC036
Reinitialise programming (see Interpretation of
commands).
Check the condition of the damper valve connector (see Wiring Diagram Technical Note, Mégane II ph2,
Scénic II ph2, component code 1461).
Check the condition of the engine management computer connector (see Wiring Diagram Technical Note,
Mégane II ph2, Scénic II ph2, component code 120).
If the connectors are faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical
wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
Check that the valve is not mechanically jammed:
With the engine stopped, disconnect the air inlet hose from the damper valve.
Check that the valve is in the open position.
Start, then switch off the engine.
Check that the valve closes when the engine is switched off and then opens again when the engine has stopped.
If this does not happen, replace the damper valve.
Check that the valve is clean and that there is no component preventing it from closing (particularly for 2.DEF).
Clean if necessary.
Check the continuity of the following connections:
– Connection code 3VM between components 1461 and 120.
– Connection code 3VN between components 1461 and 120.
Check the insulation against + 5 V and + 12 V (computer feed) of the following connections:
– Connection code 3VM between components 1461 and 120.
– Connection code 3VN between components 1461 and 120.
If there is a repair method (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for
repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
