Exhaust gas recirculation management:
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system involves removing exhaust gases and reintroducing them into the
inlet.
The exhaust gases are collected in the exhaust manifold (before the turbocharger), then directed to the EGR cooler
and the EGR valve.
EGR cooler
The EGR cooler bypass function cools the gases extracted from the exhaust via a gas-water exchanger and then
reintroduces the gases at the inlet. This cooler is equipped with an all-or-nothing solenoid valve, which enables
gases to be cooled or not cooled, depending on the emission control requirements.
EGR valve
The system comprises a direct current EGR valve and a potentiometer which reports the position of the valve.
A positive command controls its opening (0 → 100%).
The potentiometer serves to control and run fault finding on the valve.
The very first time the engine is started, then each subsequent engine start, the “valve closed” position is
programmed (offset). This value is compared to the very first offset or last programmed offset, for the purposes of
fault finding. It is also used to readjust the valve control function. This is why it is important to associate the EGR
valve to the computer which controls it.
Richness ratio sensor management (only on certain F9Q816 engines in VDiag 48):
The richness ratio sensor is mounted in the turbo outlet.
Its function is to reset the injection system drift.
The injection computer does not control the sensor immediately when the engine has just been started:
–ET300 Richness regulation is INACTIVE,
–PR779 Richness ratio sensor is equal to 1.
After a length of time that depends on the coolant temperature, with the engine running and in the absence of no
load conditions, the injection computer authorises the heating of the sensor:
–ET300 Richness regulation changes to ACTIVE,
– in about ten seconds, the PR778 Richness ratio sensor temperature increases to approximately 780°C,
– then the PR779 Richness ratio sensor displays a value of 0.3 ±0.1 at idle speed.
The turbocharger cooling pump:
Because of its high rotation speed, the turbocharger does not use ball bearings to ensure the pivot connection but
uses a bearing whose friction is reduced thanks to a pressurised film of oil.
When the engine is switched off, the oil is no longer under pressure and no longer provides the pivot connection. A
quantity of oil therefore remains, which collects around the bearing.
When the turbocharger is in operation, the bearing is subjected to high temperatures. After the engine is switched
off, the slow decrease in temperature heats the stagnant oil. This then modifies the viscosity of the oil and therefore
increases the risk of the turbocharger sticking.
To prevent this, a turbocharger coolant pump circulates coolant to lower the temperature of the turbocharger. It is
electrically activated for 5 mins if the engine coolant temperature exceeds 80°C. In addition, the coolant circulation
prevents deterioration of the liquid properties by stopping it collecting under the same temperature constraints as the
oil.

NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to a stored fault:
The fault is declared present after:
– the engine is started.
– a road test.
Special notes:
If the fault is present:
– particle filter regeneration is inhibited.
Use bornier Elé. 1681 for any operations on the injection computer connectors.
Use Wiring Diagram Technical Note, Mégane II ph2, Scénic II ph2.
Note:
This fault is activated in case of considerable oil dilution due to a significant number of particle filter regenerations.
Carry out the following:
– An oil change (see MR 364 (Mégane II) or MR 370 (Scénic II), Mechanical, 10A Engine and peripherals,
Engine oil: Draining – Filling),
– reset the oil wear meter,
– clear the faults.
Reset the oil wear meter after the oil change:
It will be necessary to reinitialise the display of the trip computer.
With the ignition on:
– hold down the TC* button for 5 s.
Re-initialisation has worked when the on-board computer no longer displays the key.
If this is not the case, restart the procedure.
Specific case:
If an oil change is performed before the oil service interval warning is exceeded, reinitialise the display.

Fault finding – Interpretation of parameters13B
PR873OIL OXIDATION SIGNAL
PARAMETER
DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the distance of the vehicle when the oil dilution threshold is
reached.
NOTESOnly apply the interpretation of this parameter if the OCS (oil control system)
program is activated on the instrument panel. On the instrument panel computer,
check the configuration reading LC106 OCS: WITH
This parameter is not operational in Vdiag44
Conformity check with engine stopped and ignition on, or engine running, and engine coolant
temperature > 80°C, without electrical consumers
The oil condition is calculated by the oxidation program in the injection computer, according to the number of
engine revolutions.
When this count reaches a certain threshold before the end of the oil service period, the injection computer sends
a signal to the instrument panel, which will display service due. Parameter PR873 corresponds to the vehicle
mileage at the time this signal is sent.
Then the instrument panel computer deducts 900 miles (1500 km) before displaying the message Service
required.
IMPORTANT
When the message Service required appears on the instrument panel, the customer must arrange an oil change
within the remaining 900 miles (1500 km).

PR875OIL DILUTION SIGNAL
PARAMETER
DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the vehicle mileage when the oil dilution threshold is reached.
NOTESThis parameter should be interpreted only if the OCS (Oil Control System) program
is activated on the instrument panel. On the instrument panel computer, check the
configuration reading LC106 O.C.S: WITH.
Conformity check with engine stopped and ignition on, or engine running, and engine coolant temperature
> 80°C, without electrical consumers
The injection computer assesses the dilution rate of the engine oil according to the customer's driving style. When
the dilution level reaches a certain threshold before the end of the oil change interval, the injection computer sends
a signal to the instrument panel, which then displays Service required. Parameter PR875 corresponds to the
vehicle mileage at the time this signal is sent.
IMPORTANT
When the message service required appears on the instrument panel, the customer must carry out an oil service
immediately to prevent damage to their engine.

PR1012WEIGHT OF SOOT AFTER REGENERATION
PARAMETER
DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the weight of soot, in g, in the particle filter after a
regeneration.
NOTESConsult this parameter after using SC017 Particle filter regeneration.
Conformity check: Engine stopped and the ignition on, or the engine running and the engine coolant
temperature > 80°C without electrical consumers.
If PR1012 is less than 15 g, the particle filter regeneration completed correctly.
If PR1012 is greater than 15 g, it is necessary to perform a second particle filter regeneration using command
SC017 Particle filter regeneration (see interpretation of commands).
IMPORTANT:
Before performing a second After-Sales regeneration of the particle filter, the engine must be allowed to cool down
for 2 hours with the bonnet open.
Do not carry out the usual engine oil change before a second After-Sales regeneration (see SC017 Particle filter
regeneration).

Do not carry out the usual engine oil change before a second After-Sales regeneration.
Only for Vdiag 50:
– Change the engine oil if a message on the instrument panel requests it.
For the other VDiag:
–Consult PR848 Number of regeneration failures. If PR848 is greater than 3, change the engine oil.
●Particle filter too full - replace the particle filter: regeneration has failed. The weight of soot in the particle
filter is so great that it is creating back-pressure. Deal with any faults that appear or replace the particle filter.
Run command SC036 Reinitialise programming and select After particle filter replacement.
– Switch off the ignition and wait for the diagnostic tool message (maximum time 8 minutes): Communication
lost with computer: EDC16C36, check the tool connection and computer power supply.
–Then switch on the ignition again, clear the present or stored faults from the computer memory (operation
to be carried out within 3 minutes of switching on the ignition).
– Check the weight of soot: PR383 Weight of soot in the particle filter.
– If PR383
≥ 1 g. Apply the procedure of test 12 Manual clearing of the weight of soot.
Only for Vdiag 50:
– Change the engine oil if a message on the instrument panel requests it.
– For the other Vdiags:
–Consult PR848 Number of regeneration failures. If this parameter is greater than 3, it is essential to change
the engine oil.
– Explain to the customer the procedure for regeneration when driving to avoid unnecessary repairs: see PART D
in the interpretation of DF312 Speed request.
