ESP & Service lights came on today...

[ppysjrh]

hey, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if it was a warranty job?

after about 30 mins of driving the ESP and "SERV" lights come on. they go off if I restart the engine, but come on again after about 30 mins. Last service was July 06 at 12,000 miles, have only done 5k since then.

lemme know!

thanks

I few people have had this and its been the brake pedal switch.

mine is doing it every few days......stays on for 20 mins...I restart the engine as I am driving and it seems to solve it!
Would also like to know why.....can't be arsed to get my car into reno for a "week".

Try adjusting the brake switch first before going to Renault.

how and where is it mate???

It is located at the top of the brake pedal lever, open your drivers door, get down on the floor on your knees, make sure car is out of gear and start engine (which will allow the brake pedal to travel further down because the servo is now operating), push the brake pedal down and hold it there, at the top of the pedal lever you will find a small pin switch, pull out the centre of the switch as far as it will go, it is on a ratchet so you will hear it clicking, then let the brake pedal up slowly to the rest posistion, that's it job done.

If you still have problems then it could be a faulty brake switch or something else.

There is another thread on here somewhere about adjusting the switch, a poster on that thread says to use a 1mm feeler blade between the pedal lever and the switch pin when letting up the pedal so it sets it 1mm further back and that is how Renault do it.
