[prosserwales]

hi i have a clio 182 on a 04 plate and its in renault with a problem the serv light and esp light comes on and they cant find whats wrong with it please can anyone help????
i need my car back and any advice would be good at the mo im told they are checking the wiring loom??

Its the connection under the passenger or drivers seat, it happens on all renaults... it has something to do with the seat belt pre tensioners. nothing to worry about. i have it on mine now and again especially if your moving the seats back and forth...

Try giving them a wiggle or disconnecting them and reconnecting... its a black block under the seats.

it cant be as simple as that surely??? renault said there is a pathway problem from the traction control unit to the ecu???
i would ring them and tell them what you have suggested but i dont want to seem like im telling them to suck eggs????

any thing men

It does it on mine too mate, diognostic check said
brake pedal switch, changed that and it still does it.

When the warning lights are on the t/c still works
so I just ignore it now.

 

[prosserwales]

do anyof you get a missing at 4/5k revs thats when it happens sometimes tho it just comes on to be honest??? odd

i had mine do that it was a brake relay switch ( i think) renault replaced it under warranty

this is a well known problem, do a search on here and it will tell you how to sort it, and you can also teach renault something too!

 

[prosserwales]

tried to tell them what you have all said and im pissing against the wind

 

[prosserwales]

just phoned renault they said they are checking for water now water as got into something what a load of b****cks

 

[prosserwales]

[PrincessJessica]

the guys at renault are there to test our patience!

 

[prosserwales]

[prosserwales]

we're feeling your pain! Seriously, if you're not getting any joy from Renault perhaps someone on here will be able to look at it for you. Don't let it put you off your car though. Doesn't sound like it's effecting the driving of the car though?

If i remember correctly, there is a motion sensor type thing under the centre console by the handbrake somewhere, picks up violent movement etc!! They used to be fairly common!

If it's the ABS, serv and ESP lights then it's the brake pedal switch as mentioned.
It's a common fault really.

It may need adjusting or it may need a new switch completely.
