4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).
Visual inspection
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.
Physical inspection
While manipulating the wiring harness, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to
present.
Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.
Inspection of each component
Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as the crimping (no crimping on
the insulating section).
Make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.
Continuity, insulation and resistance check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or with another wire.
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

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).

1.1.6 Principle of Electric Childproof Locking:
The UCH controls the rear door locks to prevent them from being opened by means of the interior door handles and
inhibits operation of the rear electric window switches.
The switch statuses and the activation of electric childproof locks can be viewed using the following statuses:
–ET233 Child safety lock switch,
–ET159 Rear left-hand door child safety lock,
–ET160 Rear right-hand door child safety lock.
The configuration Child safety lock can be read using configuration LC035 Child safety lock and modified (see
Configurations and programming) using the specific command SC016 Child safety lock (Vdiag 4C, 4D, 4F and
50).
Fault finding can be performed on the child safety lock switch indicator light using command AC076 Child safety
lock indicator light.
1.1.7 Principle of Deadlocking:
The UCH controls the door locks to prevent unlocking via the interior handles. This function is activated by pressing
and holding (+ 2 seconds) the Renault card's locking button or by pressing the door locking button twice.
The direction indicators flash rapidly three times for deadlocking (in addition to the two flashes for locking).
For this function to operate, the vehicle must have deadlocking (2 motors) and configuration LC003 Deadlocking
must be WITH (see Configurations and programming). Deadlocking is configured using CF009 Deadlocking.
The source of the last deadlocking activation/deactivation can be viewed using statuses ET088 Deadlocking
activation source and ET090 Deadlocking deactivation source.
It is impossible to deadlock the vehicle if the + accessories feed is active, if the lights are switched on or if the hazard
warning lights are activated.
1.1.8 The valet card function, specific to certain countries (e.g. Mexico):
This function controls the valet card option which enables vehicles fitted with it to separately control unlocking of the
driver's door, the boot, or the passenger doors and the glovebox.
When the vehicle is electrically pre-equipped with the valet option and this option has been configured, the cards can
be used in two different customer modes. The "master" cards can unlock all the opening elements, but the "valet"
cards cannot unlock the glovebox, the boot and the passenger opening elements. They can only start the vehicle,
lock the whole vehicle, and unlock the driver's door. The function is configured with CF085 Valet card function
using the specific command SC008 UCH type. To access CF085, configure CF036 Selective opening element
opening to WITH.
To check that this function has been configured correctly, use LC016 Card valet function.

1.1.13 Principle of automatic window relift:
When the doors are locked, and the lock button on the card is pressed twice in succession (or the door or boot if
the vehicle is fitted with hands-free function), the windows close automatically (as well as the sunroof, if fitted to
the vehicle).
The function is available on certain vehicles (see table below) depending on the number of one touch windows on
the vehicle and depending on the bodywork phases.
The automatic window relift function cannot be configured separately; it is automatically configured during special
command SC008 UCH type according to the vehicle type, number of one-touch windows and the production number
type.
1.1.14 Principle of new vehicle storage mode:
The vehicle is configured in this mode when it leaves the factory to optimise its power consumption:
–The immobiliser warning light is inhibited.
–The direction indicator warning lights are lit continuously on the instrument panel.
Before delivering the vehicle to the customer, deactivate this mode:
–By flipping down the steering column controls with the after ignition feed off.
–Or using command VP016 Deactivate new vehicle storage mode.
This function can only be activated in the factory with UCH Vdiag 4F or 50.If Then

1.2.4 Renault card check by the UCH:
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.
–Mileage before oil change.
–Tyre pressure (if vehicle fitted with SSPP).
–Status of OBD warning light.
–Oil level.

3 WIPER FUNCTION
3.1 Sub-function: WIPER CONTROL
The UCH receives the driver's request when the wiper stalk is used.
Windscreen wiper:
The UCH requests the Protection and Switching Unit via the CAN network to supply power to the windscreen wiper.
The park position is managed by the Protection and Switching Unit.
The wiper control stalk has four positions (neutral, intermittent wiping, slow speed and fast speed) and a wiper
intermittent speed ring which varies the time between each wipe.
Special notes:
If the windscreen wiper is set to low speed when the vehicle is moving and then the vehicle stops, the system switches
to intermittent wipe.
The requests made to the UCH by the wiper stalk can be displayed using statuses: ET077 Wiper stalk position and
ET096 Wiper intermittent speed ring.
If the vehicle is fitted with a rain sensor, (see special features of the rain and light sensor).
Rear screen wiper:
Rear wiper speed and power supply are also controlled by the UCH.
Windscreen wiper outside neutral position:
–The rear screen wiper starts to operate as soon as reverse gear is engaged and rain drops are detected on the
windscreen wiper.
–When the vehicle is stationary, the wipers operate intermittently every 7 seconds; over 36 mph (60 km/h) they
operate every 3 seconds. There is no continuous wiping function, except during the rear screen washer control.
The statuses corresponding to operation of the rear screen wiper can be displayed using statuses ET080 Rear
screen wiper request, ET097 Rear screen wiper park position and ET109 Reverse gear engaged or ET108
Automatic gearbox lever position, by configuration reading LC064 Rear screen wiper and by configuration
CF166 Rear screen wiper.
Windscreen washers:
The front and rear windscreen washers are controlled directly by the wiper control stalk, via a wire connection.
These connections are doubled up to the UCH to permit command status reading.
ET078 Windscreen washer request,
ET079 Rear screen washer request.
Special features of headlight washers
For vehicles fitted with xenon bulbs, the headlight washers are actuated at the same time as the windscreen washer,
only if the headlights are on.
Two cases are possible concerning the control of the headlight washers.
First case: (vehicles fitted with a SIEMENS Vdiag 44 UPC): the UCH sends the command by cable to two headlight
washer relays on a relay plate underneath the UPC.
Second case: (vehicles fitted with a LEAR Vdiag 48 or later): the UCH requests the UPC via the multiplex network to
activate the washer relays.
WARNING
If the UCH does not manage to determine the position of the control stalk, or inform the Protection and Switching
Unit of the control stalk's position, the Protection and Switching Unit will activate the windscreen wiper at low speed
(defect mode).
