How to get stage 1 ignition on 197 ?

[Ryanpotter]

Had my 197 in for a remap today but they couldn't get the ignition into stage 1 / maintainance mode so they could upload the map ,
Anyone know the sequence to get this up and the lights to stay on not just on check and off ???
Thanks

Not just put the key card in and push and hold the start button?

i hope you're going to take it to someone else to 'map' it then?

Press the button once without your foot on the brake or clutch!

It's zen sport which people reckon are ok ? The lights have to stay on and not go off

You're trusting them to map it but they can't even turn it on?

It's not just turning the car on , it's getting it to "stage 1" or "diagnostic check" with the ignition

Just so people understand , I'm not asking how to turn the car on I'm asking if anyone knows the sequence to enable a 197 to be in "stage1" or "diagnostics check" ?
Thank you

think i can safely say we know what you need it to do, just a shame whoever is 'mapping' the car can't do it though, not exactly what you would call confidence inspiring in them though.

 

[Ryanpotter]

Yeah I agree but they did try everything that normally works on renaults and what works on Meganes but they obviously haven't come across a 197 before so couldn't get the ignition to this stage and after 2 hours of trying gave up

It's the same procedure as the keyless megs? If they can't work the procedure out within 5mins, I wouldn't let them map my toaster.
Although the gains on a toaster would be greater than a 197

Tried that procedure and the lights on dash all go out after seconds and I'm getting it mapped so it drives better and gets rid of the flat spot

Iirc lock, unlock, key in, press and hold start button without pedals being pressed

But the lights on dash go out in seconds and don't stay on which he says means the ignition is not staying on ?

Hmmm, only thing i can think of without seeing the car is connecting it to a charger. When i did e.c.u updates at renaut we had to have a battery charger connected to keep the voltages up in the battery

Thanks for your help
I'm thinking that just cause the lights are going out that maybe the ignition is still on ? He thinks they should stay on like a normal key in stage 1

And yet there's tons of remap threads for 1*2s. Funny that

It sounds very much like this guy shouldn't be allowed to upload maps to your tomtom let alone your car.
