IS the ABS controlled by the ECU

[ben_p]

Ie if i removed the ecu would it not work?

 

[geesus69]

im gonna take a guess and say no its not controlled by the ecu lol

this guess is based on my interpretation of the wiring diagram in the tech manual

 

[172bagss2]

I'm guessing too when I say 'it might be controlled by the ECU'.

 

[geesus69]

scrap that im saying yes it is controlled by the ecu

this answer is based on the copy of 'Hillier's : Fundamentals of motor vehicle technology' sat in front of me lol

 

[ben_p]

FFS.

 

[geesus69]

hang on dont you want to scrap the ABS anyway?

i dont see a problem

 

[ben_p]

not really, costly lol and its nice for the wet!

But looks like i may have too!

 

[powey]

Id say yes on the basis that ben loves spending money...

also abs comes up on the instrument panel if a fault is present therefore they must ''talk'' to each other

 

[Lagerlout]

It's controlled by it's own computer I think. lol

 

[SkidMarx]

They do all talk to each other, its can-bus aint it. The speedo uses info from the ABS computer, im not sure if you lose the standard ECU altogether what affect it will have on the ABS tho.

Im not sure on the clio, but on some models information from the brake pedal switch is used to cut engine revs ( for emmision ) So on some models removing the ECU could cause problems.

Dont take any of this as gospel as it could be b****cks, not worked on renaults for a long time.

Edit: Yours is a PH1 right? So speedo drive from box not ABS, 1 less problem to worry about.

 

[ben_p]

Im reet for MOT emmisons (the car would prob melt the probe at the moment anyway!)

What othere issues can you see when removing the renault ECU? Im replacing with omex (well its allready in there running along aside)

Ive sorted all the clocks, tacho and gauages etc

 

[Fred@BTM]

windows? reverse light? keys? fuel pump? everything connected to the UCH? lights, cooling fans? etc etc

have you thought this through? its going to be costly and time consuming to bin the entire car loom IMO

 

[ben_p]

im not binning the whole loom. just the enigne sensor part.

I have to keep the UCH (i dont even think mine has one) rest of the loom is seperate to the engine loom.

 

[Fred@BTM]

ah you have a phs1, you'll be reet then

 

[ben_p]

yeah, just want too loose all the dog sh1t sensors which are doing nothing and that are just flapping about lol.

not linked, only thing the standard ECU is doing on your current setup is rev counter and water temp gauge
