Idle speed
The idle speed setpoint is dependent on:
–the coolant temperature,
–the emission control programs,
–air conditioning requirements,
–the position of the gear lever,
–any power-assisted steering operation,
–the passenger compartment heating resistors,
–the oil temperature (engine protection),
–and lastly, the electric power balance (engine speed is increased by a maximum of 160 rpm if the battery voltage
remains below 12.7 V).
Ignition
Advance is calculated for each cylinder, and is limited between - 23˚ to + 72˚, and includes possible corrections due
to pinking.
Anti-pinking correction is the maximum advance value taken from the advance of one of the cylinders. If none of the
cylinders is pinking, this correction is zero.
Richness
For the catalytic converter to operate correctly, adjust around richness 1.
The richness regulation controlled by the upstream sensor which ensures a richness of around 1.
The upstream sensor supplies a voltage according to the image of the average engine richness: the voltage supplied
to the computer represents a Rich-Lean signal.
For the upstream sensor to be operational very rapidly, it is heated. The heating works only when the engine is
running. It is deactivated at speeds above 84 mph (140 km/h) or when the engine is under load.
The downstream sensor is also heated. The command does not activate immediately after starting the engine. It is
activated when the engine is running and has reached its operating temperature. The downstream heating sensor is
deactivated at speeds above 84 mph (140 km/h) or when the engine is under load.
Torque management
The torque structure is the system for managing engine torque. It is required for certain functions such as the
electronic stability program (ESP), automatic transmission (BVA) or sequential gearbox (BVR).
Each computer (ESP, sequential gearbox, automatic transmission) sends a request for torque via the multiplex
network to the injection computer. This intervenes between the torque requests received and the driver's requests
(made via the pedal or the cruise control/speed limiter function). The result of this intervention is the torque setpoint
to be applied. Using the torque setpoint, the structure calculates the throttle position setpoint, the ignition advance
and if the turbocharging function is present, the turbocharging solenoid valve setpoint.

Engine coolant temperature management
1. Conventional type thermostat
Engine cooling is performed by one or two fan assemblies (depending on the vehicle equipment). The injection
computer requests the UPC to actuate them via the multiplex network.
To ensure cooling, with the engine running, fan unit 1 is activated when the coolant temperature exceeds 99˚C and
stops when it drops below 96˚C.
Fan assembly 2 starts when the coolant temperature exceeds 102˚C and stops when it drops below 99˚C.
With the engine off, only fan assembly 1 may be activated to provide the anti-percolation function (if engine is
stopped when very hot). The anti-percolation function is active with the ignition off for a determined period. During
this time, fan assembly 1 is activated if the coolant temperature exceeds 100˚C and is deactivated when the
temperature drops below 95˚C.
If ET672: Engine coolant temperature management has a fault, then the temperature is regulated at 90˚C.
If a fault on the coolant temperature sensor circuit is detected, fan assembly 1 is activated and remains on all the
time.
If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the warning threshold of 118˚C, the injection computer directly
commands the coolant temperature warning light to come on or requests this action from the instrument panel
computer via the multiplex network, until the coolant temperature drops back below 115˚C.
As well as managing the engine, the injection computer centralises cooling requests for the air conditioning,
automatic transmission and sequential gearbox functions.
2. Controlled type thermostat
D4F 764 engines (with a camshaft dephaser solenoid valve) are fitted with a controlled coolant thermostat that
manages the engine at much higher coolant temperatures in order to reduce fuel consumption.
Description of operation
A conventional thermostat fitted with a heating resistor inside the wax core is used. The resistor is controlled by the
engine management computer by opening cycle ratio*.
In nominal operation, high coolant temperatures are managed in the engine in order to:
–reduce friction,
–reduce fuel consumption.
Nevertheless, defect operation mode is used to overcome faults linked to:
–reliability: at high engine speeds and high loads the engine temperature must be below 100˚C,
–performance: a high temperature increases chattering and reduces torque.
OCR*: Opening Cyclic Ratio.

a. Nominal operation: two operating modes.
High temperature (low and medium load mode):
When the thermostat is not controlled, it opens at a temperature of around 108˚C (compared to 89˚C for a
conventional thermostat). This allows fuel consumption to be reduced at low engine loads due to an increase in the
engine operating temperature (as there is less friction).
Low temperature (high load mode):
When the engine is put under greater stress (high loads, high engine speeds), the computer supplies the resistor
(the thermostat is controlled) to obtain operating temperatures below 108˚C (typically between 75˚C and 90˚C).
When the thermostat is opening as expected, comfort and a suitable engine temperature are obtained.
Too avoid too many transitions, switching from one mode to another is subject to time delays (a few seconds to
switch from high temperature
→ low temperature mode and several minutes to switch from low temperature → high
temperature mode).
b. Defect operation: forcing of low temperature mode and/or limitation of engine torque.
Low temperature management is activated.
Low temperature defect mode is used when one of the following faults is present and stored. Defect mode is reset to
0 using the On/Off key. Note:
The engine management computer automatically controls the thermostat in certain conditions, with the
aim of protecting the engine:
–External temperature greater than approximately 30˚C,
–Recognition of accelerator pedal being fully depressed.
If there is a short circuit to earth or an open circuit on the thermostat (for example: a connector
disconnected, DF893 Controlled coolant thermostat circuit in CO: Open circuit), engine performance is
limited to protect the engine.
IMPORTANT:
–It is essential to follow the new procedure for bleeding the cooling circuit (see MR 392 and 385,
Mechanical systems, CLIO III and MODUS, 19A Cooling, Cooling circuit: Bleeding), to prevent major
overheating of the catalytic converter. This new procedure is applicable to D4F engines with
SIEMENS injection.
–Do not inverse the connections of the temperature sensor and the thermostat control when
dismantling or carrying out electrical tests (foolproofing by colour of connections).

If the fault is directly linked to the controlled thermostat (DF893 Controlled coolant thermostat circuit), the
thermostat is no longer controlled. It operates continuously, either in low temperature mode (instance of short circuit to
earth) or in high temperature mode (instance of open circuit or short circuit to the battery). The engine torque is limited
to limit heating and also to protect the engine by preventing overheating.
c. Functions affected by the presence of a controlled thermostat:
–Coolant temperature: 108˚C nominal, between 70˚C and 90˚C in defect mode or on loaded points.
–Coolant temperature fault finding: the fault finding setting for coolant temperature consistency has been adapted.
–Consumption: The function improves fuel consumption. Consequence: a fault with the function may lead to
inefficient consumption.
–Bleeding the circuit: A new procedure adapted to this innovation is described in MR 392 and 385, Mechanical
systems, CLIO III and MODUS, 19A Cooling, Cooling circuit: Bleeding.
–Coolant temperature display and illumination of the warning light on the instrument panel: During nominal
operation there is no impact as the temperature reference value is taken into account as well as the warning light
illumination thresholds. In the event of malfunction, see the summary table below.
–Fan unit and air conditioning: the fan unit activation threshold and the high temperature air conditioning
deactivation threshold are adapted in accordance with the temperature setpoint.
–Fault finding of controlled thermostat: Electrical fault finding is used. No operational fault finding:
A mechanical fault (such as jamming) will not be detected by the system.
–Performance: In the event of a fault, there is the option to switch the engine to reduced performance mode (see
Description of operation: Operation in defect mode). Note:
If a fault on the coolant temperature sensor is detected, fan assembly 1 is requested to operate permanently,
regardless of the management mode of the engine coolant temperature.

d. Cooling:
Engine cooling is performed by one or two fan assemblies (depending on the vehicle layout). The injection computer
sends a request to the UPC via the multiplex network to activate the cooling fans (Clio III and Modus).
For the new Twingo, the injection computer manages the fan assembly or assemblies.
Note:
In addition to the engine requirements, the injection computer centralises the cooling requirements for the Air
conditioning and BVA/BVR functions.
The switching thresholds depend on whether high/low temperature mode is being used.

Air supply
The idle speed regulator performs all of the calculations that allow the idle speed actuator, the motorised throttle, to
be controlled physically. The functional component of the regulator is adaptive (variation programming and ageing).
If the idle speed regulation conditions are met, the status ET054 Idle speed regulation is "Active", and the idle
speed regulator continually positions the motorised throttle to maintain the engine speed at its idle reference value.
The motorised throttle opening ratio necessary to comply with the speed setpoint is then given by parameter PR091
Idle speed regulation theoretical OCR*.
The PR090 Idle speed regulation programming value is a stored parameter designed to program engine
variations and engine wear and tear for the idle speed regulator. The programming is carried out only when the
engine is idle and warm, and no electrical consumer (air conditioning, fan assembly, power assisted steering) is
operating. Therefore it adjusts slowly.
Idle speed
The idle speed setpoint is dependent on:
–the coolant temperature,
–the emission control programs,
–air conditioning requirements,
–the position of the gear lever,
–any power-assisted steering operation,
–the passenger compartment heating resistors,
–the oil temperature (engine protection),
–the electric power balance (engine speed is increased by 160 rpm maximum if the battery voltage remains below
12.7 V).
Ignition
Advance is calculated for each cylinder, and is limited between - 23˚ to + 72˚, and includes possible corrections due
to pinking.
Anti-pinking correction is the maximum advance value taken from the advance of one of the cylinders. If none of the
cylinders is pinking, this correction is zero.

The torque structure is the system for managing engine torque. The torque structure is required for certain functions
such as the electronic stability program (ESP) or sequential gearbox (BVR).

intervenes between the torque requests received and the driver's requests (made via the pedal or the cruise control/
speed limiter function). The result of this intervention is the torque setpoint to be applied. Using the torque reference
value, the structure calculates the throttle position reference value and the ignition advance and if the turbocharging
function is present, calculates the turbocharging solenoid valve reference value.
Engine coolant temperature management
Engine cooling is performed by one or two fan assemblies (depending on the vehicle equipment). The injection
computer requests the UCH to actuate them via the multiplex network.
To provide cooling when the engine is running, activation of fan assembly 1 is requested if the coolant temperature
exceeds 99˚C and is deactivated when the temperature drops below 96˚C.
Fan unit 2 starts when the coolant temperature exceeds 102˚C and stops when it falls below 99˚C.
With the engine off, only GMV1 may be activated to provide the anti-percolation function (if engine is stopped when
very hot). The anti-percolation function is active with the ignition off for a determined period. During this time, fan
assembly 1 is activated if the coolant temperature exceeds 100˚C and is deactivated when the temperature drops
below 95˚C.
If the engine temperature exceeds the warning threshold of 118˚C, the injection computer directly commands the
coolant temperature warning light to illuminate or requests this action from the instrument panel computer via the
multiplex network, until the coolant temperature drops back below 115˚C.
As well as managing the engine, the injection computer handles cooling requirements for the air conditioning and
sequential gearbox functions.

1. OPERATING SAFETY
Activation of the warning lights
The SIM32 injection system manages the illumination of three warning lights according to the severity of the faults
detected, to inform the customer and to assist with fault finding.
The injection computer manages the activation of the warning lights on the instrument panel. These warning lights
illuminate during the starting phase and in the event of an injection fault or engine overheating.
The warning light activation commands are sent to the instrument panel.
Warning light illumination principle
When the ignition is switched on, the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) warning light is illuminated for approximately
3 seconds and is then extinguished.
If there is an injection fault (severity level 1), the SERVICE warning light is illuminated.
It indicates a reduced level of operation and a limited safety level.
The user must carry out repairs as soon as possible:
–motorised throttle valve,
–accelerator pedal potentiometer,
–inlet manifold pressure sensor,
–computer,
–actuator feed,
–the computer power supply,
–turbocharger pressure sensor (for D4FT 780).
For faults requiring the driver to stop the engine quickly, the severity level 2 warning light is illuminated.
If a fault causing excessive exhaust gas pollution is detected, the orange OBD warning light engine symbol is
illuminated:
–the light flashes if the fault could lead to a risk of destroying catalytic converter (destructive engine misfire). If this
happens, the vehicle must be stopped immediately.
–the light is permanently illuminated if the emission control standards are not met (pollutant engine misfire,
catalytic converter fault, oxygen sensor fault, inconsistency between the oxygen sensors and a fuel vapour
absorber fault).
Mileage travelled with fault
The parameter PR106 Mileage counter fault warning light illuminated displays the mileage covered and
illuminates one of the injection fault warning lights: fault severity level 1 (amber) and 2 (red). The parameter
PR105 Mileage counter OBD fault warning light illuminated displays the mileage covered and illuminates the
OBD warning light.
This counter is reset to 0 using the diagnostic tool via the command RZ001 Fault memory.

3. INTERSYSTEM ENGINE FUNCTIONS
The intersystem connections relating to the particular requirements of the injection are as follows:
–The instrument panel computer requests illumination of the OBD warning light to warn of an emissions control fault.
–Requests illumination of the Severity level 1 warning light to warn of an operational safety fault related to the
injection system.
–Requests illumination of the Severity level 2 warning light to warn of an operational safety fault or engine
overheating.
–Requests activation of the fan assemblies (GMV) for engine cooling, but also for the air conditioning system and
sequential gearbox (BVR) functions.
–Request for air conditioning compressor switch-off for engine programming requirements such as starting,
performance, anti-stall, overspeed, etc.
–Passenger Compartment Heating Resistor cut-off or setting request for engine programming requirements such as
starting, performance, anti-stall, overspeed, etc.
–Request for gradual engagement of electrical consumers and to limit power: This last function is made possible by
the alternator being operated. This is used to improve the engine handling in critical operating phases, mainly when
idling and when starting. These requests are sent by the UCH via the CAN network where they are converted before
being sent to the alternator.
