The top dead center (TDC) and crankshaft speed (RPM) sensor, consisting of a magnet and a winding, is mounted on top of the clutch housing.

If a fault occurs in the sensor circuit, the engine stops running, the controller stores a fault code, and illuminates a warning light in the instrument cluster.

In this case, check the sensor and ring gear for missing teeth, runout, or other damage.

To ensure the correct operation of the fuel injection system after replacing the TDC/Crankshaft Speed ​​sensor or flywheel, it is necessary to perform a check using a special device, which includes the following:

Decelerate the vehicle with the fuel supply cut off in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear at an engine speed of 3500-3000 rpm for at least 2 s;

  • - repeated deceleration with fuel cut-off in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear at an engine speed of 2400-2000 min-1 for at least 3 s;
  • - check for fault codes and, if necessary, troubleshoot;
  • - erase codes.

Replacing the coolant temperature sensor

The coolant temperature sensor is installed at the end of the cylinder head on the side of cylinder 1.

The sensor is The E6U is a thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient: the electrical resistance of the sensor decreases with increasing temperature.

The E6U processes the sensor signal and sets the optimal enrichment of the working mixture during engine warm-up.

You will need: a 21 mm wrench, a flat-blade screwdriver, a tester, and a thermometer.

Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.

Drain the coolant.

Fill with coolant.

Throttle Position Sensor Replacement Throttle position sensor

The throttle position sensor is a potentiometer mounted on the throttle shaft.

Rotation of the throttle shaft causes a change in the sensor's signal voltage, which the ECU uses to determine the throttle valve's opening.

If the engine runs rough at idle or accelerates poorly, check the sensor and its connector.

You will need: a T20 TORX wrench, a tester.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Remove the air filter.

Renault Replacing the throttle position sensor

Press the lock and disconnect the wiring harness connector from the sensor.

Renault Replacing the throttle position sensor

Connect the tester in resistance measurement mode to terminals "B" and "C" of the sensor.

Renault Replacing the throttle position sensor

Measure the resistance at the sensor terminals with the throttle fully closed.

Renault Throttle Position Sensor

It should be 2.3-2.4 kOhm.

Turn the throttle valve by hand until it is fully open and measure the resistance again.

It should be 1.3-1.4 kOhm.

Renault Throttle Position Sensor Replacement

To replace the sensor, unscrew the two mounting bolts (shown on the removed throttle assembly for clarity) and remove the throttle position sensor.

Renault Throttle Position Sensor Replacement

Install the parts in the reverse order Removal.

Replacing the Absolute Pressure Sensor in the Intake Manifold

The absolute pressure (vacuum) sensor in the intake manifold is installed on the intake manifold.

The sensor records changes in pressure (vacuum) in the intake manifold depending on changes in load and engine speed and converts them into an output voltage.

Based on the sensor signal, the ECU calculates the amount of air entering the engine.

Renault: Replacing the Absolute Pressure Sensor in the Intake Manifold

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Renault: Replacing the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

Press the latch and disconnect the wiring harness connector from the sensor.

Renault: Replacing the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

Carefully remove the absolute pressure sensor, overcoming the resistance of the rubber sealing rings (the sensor fitting is installed with tension in the intake manifold opening).

Install the sensor in the reverse order of removal.

Replacing the Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor

The intake manifold air temperature sensor is mounted on the intake manifold near the throttle body.

Renault Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor Replacement

The sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor: the sensor's electrical resistance Decreases with increasing temperature.

Based on the air temperature information from the sensor, the electronic control unit regulates the amount of fuel injected.

You will need a flat-blade screwdriver.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Remove the air filter.

Replacing the Knock Sensor

The knock sensor, attached to the cylinder block between cylinders 2 and 3, detects abnormal vibrations (detonation knocks) in the engine.

Renault: Replacing Knock Sensor

It is more convenient to replace the sensor with the vehicle on a lift, as access to the sensor from above is very difficult.

You will need a 24 mm wrench.

Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.

Replacing the Oxygen Sensor

The oxygen sensor (lambda probe) is mounted on the exhaust manifold.

On some vehicles, a second sensor is installed after the catalytic converter. catalytic converter.

The sensor measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gases and converts the measured value into a voltage signal, which is sent to the engine control unit.

Using the sensor signals, the ECU controls fuel injection to obtain the calculated air-fuel mixture.

If the oxygen sensor is faulty, exhaust emissions can increase sharply.

You will need: 10 mm and 22 mm wrenches.
