Faults
Faults are declared present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but are not diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the
forced + after ignition feed is switched on (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the instructions in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions in the Notes section are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the
fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
–The electric lines on which there is a fault;
–The connectors on those lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.);
–The resistance of the faulty component;
–The condition of the wires (insulation melted or split, chafing, etc.).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because the
data is inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
–carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint.
–check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be processed by
customer complaints.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in
the form of a flow chart.

UCH
Vdiag No.: 44, 48,
4C, 4D, 4F, 50
Statuses available for the locking function:
System operation may be viewed using statuses ET045 RF frame received, ET066 Card button press received
and ET067 Card button press recognised.
The statuses of the doors detected by the UCH as open or closed are displayed using statuses ET053 Driver's door,
ET042 Passenger's door, ET051 Rear left-hand door, ET052 Rear right-hand door, ET050 Tailgate/boot and
ET041 Opening rear screen (if fitted to the vehicle).
The power supply level on the vehicle can be viewed using ET014 Power supply level requested.
d/ Boot-only locking/unlocking by pressing the "toggle boot status" button:
The boot alone may be locked/unlocked by pressing the "toggle boot status" button on the Renault card ("open
tailgate" symbol), if the card is less than 50 m from the vehicle (this distance varies according to the environment and
the battery power). The RF reception aerial is inside the UCH (except Scenic II fitted with the SSPP function).
Pressing the toggle boot status button on the Renault card starts the boot-only locking/unlocking procedure. When
the toggle boot status button is pressed, the card sends a 433 MHz encrypted signal to the UCH (315 MHz in Japan).
If the UCH authenticates the Renault card, it will authorise or inhibit opening of the boot depending on the previous
status (locked or unlocked).
Conditions required:
–The Renault card button must be pressed within the area covered by the card's radio frequency signal (this distance
varies according to the environment and the battery power).
–No + after ignition feed on the vehicle.
–No card in the card reader.
The statuses available for the boot-only unlocking/locking function (and for the opening rear screen if fitted)
are:
System operation may be viewed using statuses ET045 RF frame received, ET066 Card button press received
and ET067 Card button press recognised.
The open or closed status of the boot as seen by the UCH can be checked using status ET050 Tailgate/boot.
The status of the tailgate opening request is visible using status ET062 Tailgate opening request.
The open or closed status of the opening rear screen (if fitted) as seen by the UCH can be checked using status
ET041 Opening rear screen.
The status of the request to open the rear screen (if fitted) can be checked using status ET062 Rear screen opening
request.
The power supply level on the vehicle can be viewed using ET014 Power supply level requested.
e/ Principle of the identifier code:
The Renault card is authenticated by the UCH by transmission of a "rolling code" for the access function. The code
transmitted automatically increases incrementally each time the card is pressed.
To allow for the case where the signal is not received by the UCH, a table of 1024 accepted codes has been created.
The UCH and the Renault card can become desynchronised if the limit of 1024 possible presses is exceeded, that is
the customer has pressed more than 1024 times outside the reception zone.
If the Renault card does become desynchronised (code transmitted by the Renault card is outside the acceptance
limit of the UCH), the user can access his vehicle using the emergency insert. Resynchronisation is performed when
the vehicle is started with the card in the card-reader, or by removing/replacing the card battery.

f/ Display:
Unlocking is indicated by 1 flash of the direction indicators.
Locking is indicated by 2 flashes of the direction indicators.
When using the "boot status toggle" switch, display is not performed if a toggle request is made when the vehicle is
completely unlocked. In fact, in this case, the vehicle is not locked as only the boot is locked.
If one of the opening elements is detected as open when the request for locking the vehicle is made, the UCH will not
authorise vehicle locking and no indicators will flash to warn the user.
1.1.2 procedure of locking/unlocking by pressing the central door locking button:
This button is used to lock/unlock the vehicle while stationary or moving.
This button has no effect if the vehicle has been locked using the card in hands-free or manual mode.
Pressing the electric central door locking button when a door is unlocked will lock all the doors and the electric
central door locking indicator light will light up. Status ET044 CPE* button may be used to check that the button is
operating correctly.
The operation of the electric central door locking indicator light can be checked using command mode AC020 CPE*
button indicator light.
1.1.3 Principle of automatic locking when driving (RAID* system):
The Automatic Locking when Driving (RAID) function locks the vehicle as soon as the speed signal is above
approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
Activation or deactivation of the RAID function can be viewed using ET043 RAID* function authorisation by CPE*.
The RAID function can be activated or deactivated by pressing and holding the electric door locking button for
approximately 5 seconds while the engine is running. Acknowledgement is indicated by a buzzer.
1.1.4 Principle of automatic relocking:
Automatic relocking takes place 2 minutes after hands-free or card unlocking if unlocking is not followed by the
opening of a door.
CPE*: Electric central door locking
RAID*: Renault Anti-Intruder Device Note:
Unlocking can be performed by the UCH if the airbag computer has detected an impact or if it is faulty (not
recognised on the multiplex network, internal fault, etc.). (see 88B, Multiplexing).

4C, 4D, 4F, 50
Conditions required:
–Interruption of one of the optical beams in one of the handles or pressing the boot or rear screen opening switch.
–A vehicle card detected by the access aerials.
–No + after ignition feed on the vehicle.
–The card must not be hands-free disabled (a Renault card is disabled for hands-free starting and access if it was
present in the vehicle when it was locked; the card is no longer disabled if it is detected by any aerial during
unlocking).
Statuses available for the unlocking function:
The UCH receives the unlocking request when an optical beam is cut on one of the handles. The sensors' power
supply can be displayed using the ET054 Optical sensors supplied status.
Operation of the sensors can be viewed using statuses ET055 Driver's side front optical sensor, ET056 Driver's
side rear optical sensor, ET057 Passenger side front/rear optical sensors and boot switch status ET060 Tailgate
locking button. The status of the tailgate opening request is visible using status ET061 Tailgate opening request.
The status of the request to open the rear screen can be checked using status ET062 Rear screen opening request.
The power supply level on the vehicle can be viewed using ET014 Power supply level requested.
The AC037 Transmitting aerials fault finding command interrogates the aerials for an update of potential faults.
Commands AC032 Test driver's side external aerials, AC033 Test passenger side external aerials and AC034
Test boot external aerials are used to check each zone separately. When the card is in the interrogated zone, the
card reader flashes. The interrogation lasts 1 minute.
These commands are used to check the hands-free access zones around the vehicle and will operate even if the
hands-free card does not belong to the vehicle.
c/ Hands-free unlocking of the boot only:
When a press on the boot opening switch is detected, the UCH receives the signal requesting opening (ET061
Tailgate opening request). The UCH sends a 125 kHz signal to the access aerials.
If the Renault card is in the access zone (initial interrogation on the boot side, then interrogation of both sides of the
vehicle), it responds to the UCH at 433 MHz.
If the UCH authenticates the card, the UCH orders unlocking of the boot only.
d) Hands-free locking:
When a press on a door handle closing switch is detected, the UCH sends a 125 kHz signal to the access aerials. If
the Renault card is in the access zone, it responds to the UCH at 433 MHz. If the UCH authenticates the card (and if
the UCH cannot be detected in the hands-free starting zone), the UCH requests the locking motors to lock.
If, however, there is another card in the vehicle, locking will be possible, but the card left in the vehicle will
temporarily lose its hands-free access and hands-free starting functions until the next unlocking operation
(inhibition).

Test boot external aerials are used to check each zone separately. When the card is in the interrogated zone, the
card reader flashes. The interrogation lasts 1 minute.
These commands are used to check the hands-free access zones around the vehicle and will operate even if the
hands-free card does not belong to the vehicle.
e/ Display
Unlocking is indicated by 1 flash of the direction indicators.
Locking is indicated by 2 flashes of the direction indicators.Hands-free locking of the entire vehicle by stage:
1) The user presses one of the locking switches on the door handle or tailgate (located in the badge).
2) If the Renault card is not disabled for hands-free operation, the UCH sends a 125 kHz encrypted signal to
the access aerials (interrogation of the aerials on the side of the activated handle is performed first), and to
the starting aerials.
3) If the Renault card authenticates the code, it responds to the UCH using a 433 MHz encrypted signal.
4)If the UCH detects at least one Renault card in the access zone and this is authenticated (at least one Renault
card detected by the external aerials and not detected by the starting aerials; this is necessary to avoid the
vehicle being locked with the card inside), the UCH activates the locking motors.
5) If the UCH detects other cards inside the vehicle, it disables these cards for hands-free functions (access
and starting) until the next time the vehicle is unlocked.

5Safety line
a/ Unlocking the steering column lock
Following authentication of the Renault card:
1/ The UCH sends a code to the electric steering column lock with an unlocking request via the multiplex network
(ET119 UCH request to steering column lock).
2/ If the electric steering column lock recognises the code, it unlocks and sends its unlocked status to the UCH
(ET073 Steering column lock sensor signal).
3/ When the UCH receives the "Steering column unlocking completed" signal, it orders the Protection and Switching
Unit to activate the + after ignition relay and the procedure continues.
The physical status of the column lock can be displayed by status ET072 Steering column lock and its
programming can be displayed by status ET071 Steering column lock blank.
The steering column lock remains locked if:
–There is excessive mechanical load on the steering column (e.g.: wheel jammed against a kerb),
–the battery voltage is too low,
–the power demanded by the column lock is too high (thermal protection of the column lock electric motor). Note:
After ignition feed can only be established if the steering column unlocking procedure is performed
correctly.

a/ Card check:
When the engine is running, the UCH checks for the presence of the Renault card in the passenger compartment (if
vehicle is hands-free) or in the card-reader when a door is opened then closed. If the Renault card is not detected, a
message on the instrument panel and a buzzer warn the driver.
Command AC036 Internal aerial test is used to check the area covered by the starting aerials inside the passenger
compartment (hands-free vehicles). The card reader flashes when the card is detected.
This command allows a hands-free card to be recognised even if it does not belong to the vehicle.
b/ Low battery warning:
If the Renault card battery is faulty or flat, the change card battery message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the vehicle is started, if there have been 5 attempts to authenticate the Renault card since the battery fault.
c/ Storing information on the card:
A device allowing information relating to the vehicle to be read from the card is available.
Information available: – VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
–Mileage.
–Fuel level.
