E.C.U wont reset....???

[Desb]

I've had my 1st clio 172 ph 1 sport in the garage to get mot'd etc.... the E.C.U has fault codes that wont reset, air bags etc.... ross motorsport have told me the E.C.U thinks the car has had a crash and therefore wont reset the fault codes.
I was told this is a common problem and cannot be rectified even at the main dealers, so a replacement is required.
Can any hardcore clio heads shed some light on this subject for me please..????

If air bag ecu has recorded a crash it will need swaping over

You can use a secand hand one with no codes if you match up the numbers put up a pic of ecu ill see if ive got 1

Go on eBay, type in "Renault Clio airbag crash reset"
£20 and it's sorted.

Hi, cheers for your response..... How do you know its code free until its fitted on the car??? is there a test method available??? I don't yet have the details of the E.C.U as I only found this out a short while ago.... apparently there are a few E.C.U's on these cars, can one cause another to not reset??? see "blokes" post about air bag crash data.... surely you connect a diagnostic to one port which opens all E.C.U's???
p.s.... apologies for my lack of technical know how...

Because its come from a car with no lights on and no knocks if the numbers dont match it wont work but CAN be coded. Send it off if your unsure

Can't you do it with Clip, or is it not like that??

Not airbag ECU.
Can wipe crash data from UCH, airbag ECU is pretty much single use
