Vdiag No.: 04 Fault finding - Introduction 13
This document describes generic fault finding routines applicable to all EDC15VM+ diesel injection
computers fitted to CLIO II phase 1 and KANGOO vehicles fitted with F9Q 782 engines (80 HP, 160 Nm)
and to MEGANE vehicles fitted with F9Q 744 engines (80 HP, 160 Nm).
The following are thus required for carrying out fault finding on this system:
● This Generic Technical Note,
● the electrical wiring diagram of the function for the vehicle concerned,
● The Clip or NXR diagnostic tool,
● The test bornier Elé. 1621.
GENERAL APPROACH TO FAULT FINDING
– Use one of the fault finding tools to identify the diesel injection system fitted to the vehicle (to read the computer
family, the program n˚, etc.).
– Find the Fault finding documents corresponding to the system identified.
– Take account of information contained in the introductory sections.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FAULT FINDING STAGES
1 FAULT CHECKING:
It is essential to start with this stage before any work is done on the vehicle.
– Read the faults stored in the computer memory and use the Interpretation of Faults section of the documents.
Reminder: Each fault is interpreted for a particular type of storage (fault present, fault stored in memory, fault
present or stored). The checks defined for dealing with each fault are therefore only to be performed if the fault
declared by the diagnostic tool is interpreted in the document for its type of storage. The way in which the fault
is stored should be considered when using the diagnostic tool after switching the ignition off and on again.
If a fault is interpreted when it is declared as stored, the conditions for applying fault finding appear in the
NOTES box. If the conditions are not satisfied, use the fault finding strategy to check the circuit of the faulty part
since the fault is no longer present on the vehicle.
Perform the same operation when a fault is declared stored by the fault finding tool but is only described in the
documentation for a present fault.

2 CHECKING CONFORMITY
The conformity check is designed to check the states and parameters which do not display any faults on the
diagnostic tool when they are outside the permitted tolerance values. This phase therefore allows:
– Diagnosis of breakdowns not displaying faults but which may correspond to a customer complaint.
– Checking correct injection operation and ensuring that a fault will not reappear after repair.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for states and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a state is not operating normally or a parameter is outside permitted tolerance values, you should consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
3 DEALING WITH THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINT
If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint is still present, the problem should be dealt
with according to the customer complaint.
This section has fault finding charts, which suggest a series of possible causes of the problem. These lines of
investigation must only be used in the following cases:
– No fault observed on diagnostic tool.

– No anomaly detected during conformity check.
– The vehicle is not operating correctly
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE COMPUTER
1 PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
There are no specific conditions for programming. Target programming is automatic.
2 CONFIGURATION OPERATIONS
Three functions can be configured in the computer:

● air conditioning (CF579)
● power assisted steering pump assembly (CF580)
● thermoplungers (CF581)
NOTE: configurations take effect after completion of the computer self-supply process. So after making
the desired configurations, switch off the ignition and wait for completion of the computer self-supply
process (about 30 seconds) before switching on the ignition again to verify that the configurations have
taken effect.
The electronic stability program (ESP) function (Mégane only) is configured automatically, so there is no
configuration service for this function. However, there is an electronic stability program configuration read
service for seeing whether the vehicle is fitted with ESP or not.
Configuration read services are associated with the following configurations:

– air conditioning (LC034),
– power assisted steering pump assembly (LC032),
– thermoplungers (LC035),
– electronic stability program (LC031).

OVERHEATING WARNING LIGHT
ET008
Special note: The overheating warning light is also used as a severity level 2 injection
NOTES fault warning light. To check the correct operation of the warning light, it comes on for
3 seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When the overheating warning light comes on, you must check that the PR002 Coolant temperature parameter
shows a consistent value (see conformity check). If the value exceeds 120˚C, this is a genuine case of engine
overheating, in which case you must check the cooling circuit and verify correct operation of the cooling fan
assemblies by running the AC011 low-speed fan assembly relay and AC012 High speed fan assembly relay
commands.
Carry out any necessary repairs.
If the coolant temperature is consistent and the overheating warning light is on, this means that the injection
system has reported a severity level 2 fault.
This illumination of the severity level 2 fault light fault means that the injection system has a serious fault
requiring the driver or injection computer to stop the engine.
Illumination of this warning light requires an obligatory check of the diesel injection system using the diagnostic
tool and correction of the faults reported.
If no faults are reported by the diagnostic tool, refer to Management of warning lights in the Introduction to
find out which components are affected by the severity level 2 injection fault warning light coming on and
therefore which fault finding procedure you should carry out.
If the diagnostic tool reports the DF135 Severity level 2 warning light circuit fault, connect the bornier in place

When the severity level 1 fault warning light comes on, it means that the engine is operating in defect mode
and is no longer complying with pollution standards, but the customer can continue driving in order to take his
vehicle to a garage.
When this warning light comes on, an obligatory check of the diesel injection system is required using the
diagnostic tool and correction of the faults reported.

Checking the exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR valve):

– An EGR valve locked in the fully open position could make starting impossible. Therefore in this
case, the EGR valve must be removed to ensure that it has returned correctly to the closed
position.
– With the valve removed, it is possible to check its opening movement by activating the command:
AC007 EGR valve, using the diagnostic tool.
– If the valve is jammed in the open position, try to release it using a releasing agent.
– If the valve cannot be unblocked or if it opens jerkily (hard point): replace the EGR valve.
Ensure the conformity of parameter: PR002 Coolant temperature, as an incorrect reading from the sensor
alters or cancels the control of the preheating relay and has an effect on fuel flow management.
Ensure that the starter motor is turning correctly (approximately 250 rpm).
If this is not the case:
– Check the condition of the battery, corrosion and tightness of the terminals.
– Make sure the engine earth strap is in good condition.
– Make sure that the battery lead to the starter motor is in good condition.
– Check the battery charge level.
– Check that the starter motor is operating correctly.

– Check that no hoses are pinched (especially after a removal operation).
– Check the condition of the mechanical fuel pump (sealing and operation).
– Make sure that the fuel tank breather is not blocked.
– Ensure that there are no air leaks on the diesel supply system.
– Check the pump fuel pressure by applying the procedure outlined in the Help section.
Air supply check:

– Make sure that the air filter is in good condition; change it if necessary.
– Check the condition of the intake ducts (no air leaks, pinching of the air intake pipe etc.).
– Check that the brake servo (master vac) is not leaking (air intake).
– Ensure that parameter PR050 Air flow measurement, is consistent:
With the engine stopped, parameter PR050 should display: 3276 ± 50 mg/stroke.
With the engine running at idling speed (warm), parameter PR050 should display: 300 < X < 600 mg/stroke.
When driving at 3500 rpm in second with the accelerator at 100 % (full load), parameter PR050 should
display: 750 < X < 850 mg/stroke.
If the parameter does not display consistent values, and the air line is not damaged: apply fault finding strategy
DF019 Air flow sensor circuit.
Speed sensor check:

(if the engine starts and then stalls immediately)

injection bench.
speed, the parameter should display: 30 % < X < 60 %. If the actuator is not operating as indicated and the
command.
– Remove the pump return union to check whether it is oxidised. If it is, replace the injection pump.
Checking the injectors:

– Check the conformity of the injectors fitted to the vehicle (part no.: Y 431 K 03 091 for cylinders 1 to 3 and
Y 431 K 03 092 for the injector fitted with the sensor on cylinder 4).
– Carry out a (visual) check for leaks from the injectors by connecting them to a rating pump: they should not
open at below 150 bar.
– Check the rating of the injectors (opening pressure for the first stage: 205 to 215 bar).

PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING THE FUEL SUPPLY TO THE INJECTION PUMP
To perform this check, use tools: MOT 1311.01 (pressure gauge) and MOT 1311.08 (quick release union).
1 - Measuring the fuel pressure at the filter outlet (marking OUT):
Set the engine at maximum speed unladen.

– Normal value: approximately 0.1 bar.
– Maximum permissible value: 0.2 bar.
2 - Measuring the pressure at the filter entry (marking IN):
Set the engine at maximum speed unladen.

– Normal value: approximately 0.05 bar.
– Maximum permissible value: 0.1 bar.
3 - Measuring the loss of load in the filter element:
The value measured exiting the filter - the value measured entering the filter = the value of the load lost in the filter
element.
NOTE:
If the load lost in the filter element is above 0.1 bar: replace the filter element.
If the pressure exiting the filter element is above 0.2 bar: check the pipes, the unions and the reservoir air vent.
