c. Functions hosted:
Air conditioning management assistance:
For vehicles with air conditioning, the EDC16CP33 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.
I - Cold loop air conditioning management:
The air conditioning is the cold loop type and its management shared between several computers.
The injection computer is responsible for:
– authorising requests for cold air depending on the engine coolant temperature and the engine speed,
– calculating the power absorbed by the compressor from the refrigerant pressure.
–requesting fan assembly actuation (Mégane II ph2 and Scénic II ph2) and controlling fan assembly actuation
(Laguna II, Vel Satis ph2 and Espace IV ph2), according to the vehicle speed, the refrigerant pressure and the
engine coolant temperature.
The driver requests the air conditioning to be switched on by means of the ventilation selector coupled to a switch.
The cold air request is authorised or denied depending on the pressure measured. If this pressure is outside the
operating limits, the cold loop program is not activated.
The air conditioning system is authorised by the injection computer 2 to 8 seconds after the engine is started.
Management of the thermoplungers:
To improve cold starting, the vehicle is fitted with thermoplungers. These thermoplungers are managed and
controlled by the injection computer, according to the operating phases, primarily to accelerate the increase in
engine coolant temperature.
The maximum number of thermoplungers that can be actuated is four and their actuation depends mainly on the
coolant temperature and the air temperature.
See configuration reading LC056 Thermoplungers: WITH or WITHOUT.
When necessary, they are actuated by the injection system only during particle filter regeneration by means
of a special unit.
The maximum number of thermoplungers that can be managed is four and their activation depends mainly on the
coolant temperature (< 15°C) and air temperature (< 5°C).

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. It is therefore important to associate the EGR valve with the computer that controls it.
Important: the EGR valve offsets must be reinitialised when replacing the valve or reprogramming/replacing
the computer.
V - Catalysed particle filter management (only for Vdiag: 18, 1C, 54, 20, 58, 5C, 24, 28 and 62).
The particle filter prevents the escape of carbon particles emitted by the engine but not yet removed from the
exhaust gases.
The particle filter is a microporous structure containing channels in order to force filter the exhaust gas.
The exhaust pipe consists of several components:
– an oxidation catalytic converter mounted after the turbocharger. This catalytic converter ensures that HC/CO levels
meet current standards by generating the heat (rise in exhaust temperature caused by catalysis) required for
particle filter regeneration,
– a catalysed particle filter located under the bodywork,
– a differential pressure sensor to tell the computer the pressure upstream and downstream of the particle filter,
– a particle filter upstream and downstream temperature sensor,
– a turbine upstream temperature sensor (TAVT).
As the vehicle is driven, the particle filter is loaded with particles (soot). Using a given weight of soot determined via
mapping in the computer, regeneration mode can be triggered if the maximum weight of soot in the particle filter is
reached and all engine operating conditions are met (coolant temperature, etc.).
Particle filter regeneration consists of burning the particles of soot accumulated in the filter.
The differential pressure sensor measures the particle filter inlet/outlet pressure differential; this measurement is
used to estimate the weight of soot present in the particle filter by mapping in the computer:
(weight of soot = pressure differential as a function of exhaust volume flow rate).
If all the criteria are met, the computer enters regeneration mode. The injection programming is then adjusted in
order to raise the target exhaust gas temperature to between 550 and 650°C.
This temperature allows the particles accumulated in the filter to be partially or completely burnt (regeneration).
Regeneration efficiency depends on the particle filter inlet temperature and the time spent in regeneration mode.
Regeneration can be performed automatically while driving if:
–the soot weight is less than the threshold for DF308 Clogged particle filter
–the number of regeneration failures while driving is less than the threshold for DF311 Failed regenerations
limit exceeded.

Warning light management:
Instrument panel display
The computer displays certain information on the instrument panel relating to engine operation. This concerns five
functions:
– the pre-postheating warning light,
– the coolant temperature warning light,
–the level 1 fault warning light (non-critical fault),
–the level 2 fault warning light (emergency stop),
–the EOBD (European On Board Diagnostic) warning light,
These six functions are represented by 3 warning lights and/or messages displayed by the on-board computer.
Orange pre-post heating/non-critical fault SERVICE warning light (severity 1)
This light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault indicator:
– Continuously lit with + after ignition feed:
Indicates preheating of the spark plugs.
– 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 warning light (level 2)
This indicator light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault warning light. It lights up for
3 seconds after the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the instrument panel):
– Continuously lit:
Indicates engine overheating (the driver is free to choose whether or not to stop the vehicle).
– Continuously lit with the faulty injection message:
Indicates a level 2 fault (In this case, the injection is automatically cut after a few seconds).
The driver should carry out repairs as soon as possible.
ORANGE Excessive pollution EOBD warning light
Symbolised by an engine, it lights up for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition is switched on.
This warning light comes on if the system has one or more EOBD 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 EOBD warning light for a present fault only after three
consecutive driving cycles.
The 3 second visual inspection when the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by the
instrument panel) is carried out by the injection computer.
Special particle filter ORANGE warning light or warning message (depending on instrument panel)
Only for Vdiag: 18, 1C, 54, 20, 58, 5C, 24, 26 and 60.
This warning light or message is used to warn the driver that the particle filter is loaded with particles, (see the soot
weight thresholds for illumination of the warning light for fault DF312 Speed request) due to driving conditions which
were not suitable for regeneration to take place. The driver must then drive as soon as possible at an average speed
of 48 mph (80 km/h) subject to the road conditions and authorised speed limits, until the warning light goes out.

AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults. Clear the fault memory.
Switch off the ignition until the end of the power-latch phase, and carry out a road test
followed by a check with the diagnostic tool.

PR875OIL DILUTION SIGNAL
STATUS
DEFINITIONThis parameter indicates the vehicle mileage in miles (km) when the oil dilution
threshold is reached.
NOTESThis parameter should only be interpreted 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: Engine stopped and ignition on, or engine running and engine coolant
temperature > 80°C without electrical consumers
The injection computer estimates the degree of engine oil dilution 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 arrange an immediate
oil change to prevent damage to the engine.
