Particle filter:
The particle filter retains the particles for destruction during regeneration, preventing these particles from being
discharged into the atmosphere (engine type F9Q816 only).
TDC sensor:
The angular position is measured using a magneto-inductive sensor triggered by the machined teeth on the engine
flywheel. This sensor gives the engine speed as well as the position of the crankshaft for injection.
Camshaft sensor:
This sensor provides a signal to perform the injection cycle.
When the piston for cylinder 1 is at top dead centre (TDC), it may be either at the end of the compression stroke or
at the end of the exhaust stroke. The camshaft sensor makes the distinction between these two states.
Electric coolant pump:
The electric water pump is activated if the coolant temperature has reached a significant temperature threshold
when the engine has stopped.
Role: to cool the turbocharger when the engine is stopped.
Refrigerant pressure sensor:
Its role is to measure the refrigerant pressure in the air conditioning circuit.
Heating elements:
The heating elements heat the engine coolant to improve user comfort (only on certain types of F9Q816 engine
in Vdiag 48).
Engine coolant temperature sensor:
The engine coolant temperature sensor informs the computer of the engine coolant temperature.
Air temperature sensor:
The air temperature sensor is fitted inside the inlet manifold and informs the computer of the temperature of the air
taken in by the engine.
Turbocharging pressure sensor solenoid valve:
This solenoid valve operates the turbocharger wastegate pneumatic circuit to lower the turbocharging pressure.
Catalytic converter:
The role of the catalytic converter is to convert pollutant gases into harmless gases.
Fan unit relay:
This relay controls the activation of the engine cooling fan assembly when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded.
Accelerator potentiometer:
The accelerator potentiometer informs the computer of the position of the accelerator pedal (engine load).

Clutch pedal switch:
The clutch pedal switch informs the computer of the pedal status.
Heater plugs:
The heater plugs preheat the combustion chamber so that the mixture detonation takes place under the best
conditions and thus start the engine.
Injector rail:
The injector rail receives and redistributes the fuel under high pressure to the injectors.
The richness ratio sensor:
The function of the proportional mixture sensor is to reset the injection system drift.
The turbocharger cooling pump:
This pump circulates the coolant to reduce the temperature of the turbocharger.
Particle filter downstream temperature sensor:
This sensor informs the computer of the temperature of the exhaust gases at the particle filter outlet (only on certain
engine types F9Q816 in Vdiag 48).
Particle filter upstream temperature sensor:
This sensor informs the computer of the temperature of the exhaust gases at the particle filter inlet (only engine
typeF9Q816).
Particle filter differential pressure sensor:
A differential pressure sensor monitors the status of the particle filter (particle weight) and triggers regeneration.
Role: To calculate the difference in pressure between the particle filter inlet and outlet (only engine type F9Q816).

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 BOSCH 128-track computer, type EDC16C36.
The system comprises:
– 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 diesel temperature sensor,
– a coolant temperature sensor,
– a cylinder reference sensor,
– an engine speed sensor,
– a turbocharger pressure sensor,
– an accelerator pedal potentiometer,
– an exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve,
– a recycled gas cooling solenoid valve,
– an atmospheric pressure sensor integrated into the injection computer,
– an air flowmeter fitted with an air temperature sensor,
– a turbocharging pressure limitation solenoid valve,
– a motorised damper valve,
– a particle filter (F9Q816 engine only),
– a particle filter differential pressure sensor (F9Q816 engine only),
– a temperature sensor upstream of the particle filter (F9Q816 engine only),
– a temperature sensor downstream of the particle filter (only on certain F9Q816 engines in VDiag 48),
– a temperature sensor upstream of the turbine (F9Q816 engine only),
– a richness ratio sensor,
– a turbocharger cooling pump.
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 supplied, according to the demand 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.
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 (EGR),
– fuel supply check (advance, flow and rail pressure),
– the fan assembly control,
– the air conditioning (cold loop function),
– the cruise control/speed limiter function,
– pre-post heating control,
– indicator lights control via the multiplex network,
– the catalysed particle filter operation (F9Q816 engine only).

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).

REPLACING THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR valve)
After the exhaust gas recirculation valve has been replaced, the computer must store the new valve's offset and the
offset measured the last time the ignition was switched off, which is when the valve closed.
Using this data, the computer can detect whether the valve is clogged or seized.
When the valve is replaced, clear the stored offsets so that the program uses the new valve’s offset value.
The data linked to this strategy is compiled in the Emission control/OBD sub-function.
– PR128: First EGR valve offset.
–PR129: Last EGR valve offset > or = PR128 if the valve is new.
The PR128 and PR129 programming must be cleared every time the exhaust gas recirculation valve is replaced.
PROCEDURE to be followed after replacing the exhaust gas recirculation valve:
– Run command SC036 Reinitialise programming,
–select EGR valve as the type of operation, then follow the instructions given by the diagnostic tool,
– When the command is finished,
– switch off the ignition and wait for the diagnostic tool message (maximum time 8 minutes) Communication lost
with computer: EDC16 C36, check the tool connection and computer power supply before switching the ignition
back on.
When the ignition is next switched on again the new EGR valve offset is automatically reprogrammed.
– Start the vehicle to enable the latest EGR valve offset to be programmed,
– Switch off the ignition and wait for the diagnostic tool message (maximum time 8 minutes) Communication lost
with computer: EDC16 C36, check the tool connection and computer power supply before switching the
ignition back on.
The last EGR valve offset reprogrammed is stored on the computer.
– Then check the system faults, and clear any stored faults.
– if there are faults, deal with the present faults,
– clear the faults from the computer memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.
End of the procedure.Note:
When the reinitialisation is complete, the Emission control/OBD sub-function displays:
PR128 = PR129 > 100 %
Note:
When the new EGR valve offset is reprogrammed, the Emission control/OBD sub-function displays:
10 % < PR128 < 40 %
PR129 > 100 %
Note:
When the reprogramming of the last EGR valve offset is complete, the Emission control/OBD sub-function
displays:
10 % < PR128 < 40 %
10% < PR129 < 40% and -1%
≤ PR129 – PR128 ≤ 5%
