CCCV:
The recycling of the engine oil vapours (Closed CrankCase Ventilation) is a special
feature of the Euro 4 engine.
The principle of this system is the separation of the oil vapours. The oil recovered in
this way is sent back to the oil sump, while the oil vapours are sent to the intake
manifold.

FUEL FEED CIRCUIT
Fuel from the tank crosses the control unit cooler (1) and is then sent to the water
decanter filter (2) then to the feed pump (3).
The fuel is then discharged to the main filter (4) which it exits to go to the cylinder
head block and the internal pump-injector feed circuit (5).
Fuel return goes by the front of cylinder head via a residual pressure valve (6) that
regulates the pressure in the feed circuit. The fuel return either goes to the tank, or is
re-used to feed the internal cylinder head block circuit.

4. ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
The DXi 11 engine injection system has been adjusted in order to meet the EURO 3
standard phase 1.
As on the DXi 12 engine, the injection system brings together in a single component
the high pressure pump and the system injector; this unique component is the pump
injector.
The pump injector is placed directly on the cylinder head and is controlled by an
overhead camshaft. Compared to the DCI and EUP injection systems, the pump
injector considerably reduces the overall dimensions of the injection components

EMS 2
The power supply to the EMS 2 is provided by the VECU (via the Power Relay and in
parallel with the tachograph and the BBM) and is set with a time-delay at shut down
(10 seconds) in order to enable the engine DATAMAX to be backed up.
NOTE:
After changing the EMS 2, it is essential to perform programming with DIAG NG3.
Without this, the immobiliser code will be unknown and it will be impossible to start
the vehicle.

4.5. Principal functions of EMS 2:
The EMS 2 manages the parameters it receives from the different sensors and
consequently adapts the operation of the injection system (injection advance,
injection pressure, fuel flow injected, fan speed, starter protection…).
Operation overview:
Sensors
The starter motor is controlled by the EMS 2. This provides protection functions for
the starter motor in the event of incorrect use and the possibility of starting the engine
remotely using the BBM in protected mode.
The "electronic starter" function has an operating logic to avoid the starter motor
overheating and thus avoid causing damage to it.
¾ The starter motor can drive the engine for 10 seconds followed by a break of 3
seconds. The pictogram and a text are displayed during these 3 seconds.
¾ This cycle can be repeated 4 times in succession, releasing the key from the
contact position each time.
¾ After these 4 cycles, the starter motor goes into thermal protection mode. The
pictogram, a text and a countdown are displayed.
¾ As soon as all this information disappears from the display, it is possible to try
another 2 cycles, then the starter motor goes into thermal protection again.

Condition for starter motor non operation:
- Immobiliser active
- Engine running
- Reading and verification of VIN in APM, VECU and EMS
- Gearbox ratio engaged
- Starter motor overheating (calculated according to activation time)
- Faulty camshaft and engine flywheel sensor
Emergency mode:
There is an emergency mode that can be used to activate the starter motor manually
(3 contacts made in less than 2.5 s). The starter motor is active for as long as the key
is in the starter position and the engine has not started.
The emergency mode is inactive if the immobiliser is active or if there is an error
present in the VIN check.
• Warm Hold:
This function enables a rapid rise in engine temperature by activating the exhaust
brake (30%) with the engine at idle.

The software concerned (same ECU, same vehicle) will be blocked and therefore
unavailable to another user throughout the time of the operation.
Each downloaded file can be used on the vehicle concerned, or sent back to the
