Poorly 197

[globalclothing.co.uk]

Took it to a garage today because engine managemant light came on last week. I was told last week by a friend with an OBD2 reader the codes were p0300 and p0313 which were random missfire codes. The garage plugged their OBD into her and said the codes now relate to brake sensor / switch's? And you can start the engine as soon as you get into the car without pressing the brake down! They then sent me away to see a specialist and didnt charge me!

Any clue's as to what this could be or has anyone had the same thing with their 197?

Thanks

Ian

p0300 is random misfire

p0313 is low fuel mis fire or something like that

as for the switches - could be a faulty brake light switch on the pedal - it should be pressed before the engine is allowed to start

are the brake lights on all the time?

Yea them codes are what I was told, I was also told they should almost clear themselfs but if not replace the fuel filter and plugs.....

The guy at the garage this morning tested the brake lights and they come on when the brakes are on and go off when not being used. He said it cant be the switch or the lights woulod either be on or off all the time?

You can start the car without pressing anything as soon as you get in it though!

the codes wont clear unless they are done via an obd2 system...

fuel filter is built in to the fuel pump and is not a service item until 144000miles

has the switch actually been looked at?

it may take more than one signal from it...

theres also a clutch sensor switch - so that could also be at fault!!!

I think Renault have changed codes tbh I had a fault saying immobiliser code wasn't present ... Turned out to be fuse which was in the control side of car lol wasn't immobiliser though

if they have then they are going against homologation regs.....

the electrical system on clio is can-bus so lots of systems interact with each other and the ecu's test the systems before start up so that can cause some strange faults to appear

"Well since this light on the dash has come on Ive had some wierd faults......"
1 - Boot wont unlock - locks are known to get water in them and go faulty
2 - Rear windscreen wiper doesnt work - need to see if power is going to it - check both fuse boxes (cabin and under bonnet)
3 - Passenger side light out - could just be a bulb...

But all 3 went wrong the moment the light came on?

I'll go check the fuse now though.

4 - Intermitent wipers not working..... Either on or off?

Some nice diagnostic work there again Si

As Si doesnt drink, i'm going to be a cheeky recruitment officer and will ask if you will donate the bevvy money to a paid subscription to the forum for yourself and help support the work Si and the guys carry out for us all...

 

[Arran]

Nice work Si, the fuses are weird on the Clio aren't they, the number plate light is on the same fuse as the passenger side side lights!

Good call Mike. £5 well spent if you ask me.

 

[jostheboss]

Awesome.

You could have been chasing that for ages spending £80 a pop on a diagnostics mission!!

It's easy to forget the simple things when diagnosing faults!!

This is why I love forums - full of really helpful nice chaps!!
