Renault Clio 1.5 DCi 2008 - Cluster, blower, windows, abs failure - Fixed #

Year of Manufacture *: 2008

Hi all,

2008 Clio, 1.5 dci.

I am looking for a bit of product knowledge on this one. Intermittently it shows the following symptoms – cluster indicators go down, ABS warning, blower motor stops working, windows stop working.

Scan all modules with Clip, only two fault codes.
EMS, DF025 preheat module diag line open circuit.
SRS, DF263, ABS CAN transmission absent.

We have had the car for a day and a half and it has not shown the symptom. We previously read and cleared all modules and the codes were the same as now.

In the EMS, freeze data with the code shows voltage at 11.3v but also shows engine not running and idle speed of 738rpm so not sure I should pay much attention to that.

My instinct is a power supply problem but impossible to test aside from visual inspection for water ingress etc. when it won’t happen for me. Anyone seen this before?

Alan

Hello Alan, it doesn't look like you're getting much help & this probably won't be of much help either but if its an automatic have a look here on page 72 for fault code df263 http://www.getflat.co.uk/phcdownload/upload/manuals/MEGANE/megane_2/MR366X8423A050.pdf

Hi Alan,

Looking at your symptoms, the UCH seems to be the common denominator. I have changed quite a few, worth a look.

Thanks Alan and Mike.

Mike, you could well be right (as usual) about the uch and I am nearly convinced enough to order one. I took this in again for another look and it only played up as it was going back out. Quickly plugged in again and on a network test the only module missing was the ABS. Aircon (manual not auto) switch didn’t function but on live data it was ok. Before I could go any further it cured itself again.

Customer is going away for a few days so I can have it longer. He reports that sometimes it plays up for a lot longer so hopefully I will be able to check a bit more.

What about the basics? Does the car have a conventional ignition switch? If so it has one ignition output and a secondary output that is cutout on cranking. Failure of the second circuit will stop the heater blower working for certain.
Of course if it has a card key then UCH sounds favourite.

What a saga this one was. On its third visit it played up long enough to do some meaningful testing. Spread spade terminal on the ign relay (located in front of the drivers right knee on a lhd) was the cause.

Thanks to those who replied.

Regards

Alan
