Renault Scenic II 1.6 16v 2005 - EPB fault, codes DF044 & DF047 - Fixed #

Posted by Derek Sumnall on March 31, 2012, 9:03 am

Year of Manufacture *: 55 Plate
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1.6 16v

Hi Guys

Parking brake fault on dash. LED on brake handle flashes continually. Codes DF044 & 047 removed.
Dash warning gone also LED out.
Life data indicates normal switch operation ie brake & clutch.

Autobrake works normally until handle is used again.

Can the handle be replaced without programming ?.

Regards Derek

The handle does not need programming...

But are you sure that's your fault? I have only ever had to replace one...

check the fault codes again and give us the descriptions as well......

Thanks Terry I've had the handle connector off and sprayed with cleaner.the system works fine until the handle is used again,would that not exclude the motor connector.

I found out when deliberately operating the handle so the park brake fault returned,then moving forwards and back whilst switching off the engine the p/brake would come on as intended.
On restarting though the p/brake would not release until I unplugged the connector.

A useful tip if ever the EPB stuck unintentionally.

Hi Darren

Sorry for late reply, just got car back.
It has been sold to a mate of mine on my advice.

The previous owner on enquiring of the Pain Dealer a price for EPB and Dephaser rattle rectification, was quoted over £1000 so decided to sell and is never ever going to buy another French car.

My mate who is the local Paster prayed I could do the jobs for much less.
The Dephaser rattle has gone now thanks to a can of Forte flush the correct oil and Forte Oil System Protector.

The EPB problem is ongoing but I suspect a new handle will sort it £29.00 +p&p off the net.

The codes you asked for are as follows using a GD860 Scanner.

DF045 Redundant braking switch signal in-coherence.
DF047 Manual control no signal status.
Unidentified fault the parking brake computer as detected a fault in standby mode.

The Paster had used the car for a week or two without the dash EPB warning light fault.
Provided he did not use the handle.The auto brake operation was quite normal.

I used it on purpose and immediately the fault were back. GD860 removed the codes again and warning went off.

Many thanks and will let you know how I get on.

Derek
PS where can I get DF to P code list.

Hi Darren

You were correct in stating the handle does not need to be adapted. Ten min job to replace and remove several now fault codes.
Bought it off internet for £29 all in.

Thanks for that.

Derek
