Electrical fault and P0711

[Aaron182.]

Keep getting the electrical fault light come on. Usaly followed by limp mode. And occasionally the emissions light flashes. All clears when turning the car on and off.

Except the P0711. Transmission fluid temperature circuit/sensor range fault. Won't clear from the ECU.

Can anyone help?

I'd say try a different scanner.

I've seen the transmission temp fault before from some generic bits of kit and it can be ignored (unless you have an auto).

Yeah. I've come to that conclusion aswell. Buy now getting. P0120

That's a throttle position fault then

 

[Aaron182.]

Yeah just dunno if it's the pedal, or the throttle body.

 

[MicKPM]

Live data and graph the data output to see what track A and B are doing in relation to one another when the pedal is applied.

ummmm who can do that for me then ?

it seems a pretty intermittant fault tbh. clears as soon as i restart the engine.

Aaron, i had the same problem. I changed the throttle body and the accelerator pedal and the fault has not reappeared in 12 months.

I think i was the throttle body, but i changed both for piece of mind.

I bought a 197 body from a low mileage car, they are the same part no as the 172/182. The pedal was new from Wests Renault.

Hope this helps.

It really does need a CLIP session mate to check this. I agree, it may need a new TB unit BUT it may also be a wiring issue and the TB is simply not working because the voltage signal isn't quite right.

I'm not trying to scare money out of you but rather encourage you to get an accurate picture of what is actually wrong before you start spending out on new TB's... It's a gamble you can take though.

What's this whole "clip" thing?

Also last night I took the TB off. Cleaned it. Sprayed some WD-40 in. And its been fine so far today.
