Process sequence

To obtain information, you must:

  • Connect the ELM327 standard adapter to the diagnostic socket (depending on the design of the device, the power is supplied automatically from the vehicle’s on-board network or is turned on forcibly).
  • Pair the adapter with a smartphone with the installed program (for example, using the Bluetooth wireless protocol).
  • Check support of diagnostic commands by the used adapter using the ELM327 Identifier utility.
  • Read error codes stored in the memory of the engine control unit.

Features of car condition monitoring

To obtain information about errors on Renault Duster, the following methods are used:

  • self check through the instrument panel;
  • finding fault codes using an external scanner.

Engine speed and idle

  • DF091 or 0500. indicate incorrect information from the vehicle speed sensor;
  • DF1058 (P0106). signals an increased pressure in the intake manifold, the problem occurs when the throttle valve is dirty;
  • DF120. breakdown or errors in the transmission of data from the crankshaft position sensor;
  • DF195. erroneous positioning of the camshaft and crankshaft;
  • DF319. open or short circuit in the sensor circuit that determines the position of the intake camshaft;
  • DF363. breakdown of the phase regulator drive (located on the intake camshaft);
  • DF987, DF1012 and DF1013. malfunctions in the speed limiter and cruise control switch.

Fault codes found on machines:

  • DF887 (0226). indicates incorrect operation of the pedal unit (control of the brake system and engine speed);
  • DF1017 (061A). occurs when there are problems inside the controller that controls the operation of the power plant;
  • DF1074 (0638). signals a violation of synchronization between the gas pedal and the stepping motor that controls the throttle valve;
  • DF358. no signal from the cylinder fuel injection control module;
  • DF374. breakdown of the unit responsible for maintaining the operation of the power plant.

Ignition system problems

  • DF059. 062. gaps between spark plug contacts in 1. 4 cylinders of the power unit;
  • DF065. random misfire on different cylinders;
  • DF072. 075. breakdown or open circuit in the ignition coils 1. 4 of the engine cylinders;
  • DF109. Ignition Misfire Due to Incorrect Fuel Ratio.

Clearing errors

To remove errors from memory, the following techniques are used:

  • When viewing errors on the instrument cluster screen, press and hold the mileage reset button until the code is deleted. Errors are deleted sequentially, after completing the procedure, you must exit the diagnostic mode by turning the key in the lock to the ignition off position.
  • When using a test device, mark the codes and delete the entries from the memory of the controllers. If the cause of the malfunction is not eliminated, then the errors appear again (after the first start of the power unit, the inclusion of additional systems or the start of movement).

It is not possible to clear error codes from the controllers by turning off the power or removing the plugs from the connectors. The units are equipped with non-volatile memory and retain factory settings and additional information. If the owner of the machine is unable to remove the errors on his own, then you should visit the service center and eliminate the cause of the codes.

Operating a vehicle with improperly functioning electronics leads to damage to components of the on-board network and costly repairs.

Why errors appear in high humidity outside

The warning light may come on or blink after starting the machine in wet weather. The cause of the malfunction is condensation entering the plugs and disrupting the contact or changing the resistance of the circuit. As the engine compartment or interior warms up, the moisture evaporates and the problem disappears, but the owner needs to find a pad with a damaged or defective seal (otherwise the contacts will begin to become covered with a layer of oxides, which will cause the car electronics to fail).

Driving through deep puddles can be an additional problem as splashes of water and dirt enter the engine compartment and wiring plugs.

Some owners, after the autumn off-road trips, note the inclusion of the Check Engine indicator and the violation of the power plant operation mode. The reason is the incorrect formation of a spark in one or more cylinders (during testing, errors of the form P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304 are found, allowing you to find a faulty spark plug or a coil flooded with water).

Renault Duster lit up saw what does it mean

Hello everyone!
It’s been a long time since I posted here, and there was no reason, the machine worked perfectly, without any complaints. THAT was done on time. I did the last MOT myself, scoring on OD with their horse prices.

And so now the very essence of fasting. Mileage 44500 plus / minus. The “saw” light came on.!
The performance of the machine was not affected in any way. Everything works smoothly, without interruptions and any deterioration.

From observations: Yesterday I refueled 95m, as always, drove to work, norms. Back on the way home, she got tanned. Okay. I came drowned out. The car stood for about 30 minutes. Then I went on business, there were no light bulbs. Today in the morning to work again the same picture, on the floor of the road caught fire.

I didn’t climb into an electrician, the whole car is regular, except for the low beam lamps that I replaced that year, well, they have nothing to do with it.

I’m thinking of testing the abs as well, because the saw caught fire when snow fell and ice appeared, maybe the answer is there. let’s see.

In general, to tan this lamp.

over, it does not burn constantly, but somehow chaotically, then it burns, then no, without logic. Maybe someone had this? There are no problems from her, she goes as the car went. It all started today, the first snow fell, ice, I go to AUTO mode.

Mileage: 91486 km

Why does the “saw” light up on Renault

The malfunction indicator of the electronic systems of the car can also inform the owner about other malfunctions, but one way or another they will be associated with a problem in the fuel, air and injection system.

Theoretically, any error of sensors. mass air flow sensor, lambda probe, speed sensor on automatic transmission. can lead to the appearance of a “saw” on the dashboard. Special attention should be paid to the state of the throttle valve, EGR valve and exhaust gas catalyst. they all tend to overgrow with carbon deposits and soot, jam and lead to errors in engine operation at the time of mixture formation.

Do not discount the leakage of the intake system, a clogged air filter, and turbine breakdowns. all this directly affects the air supply to the engine.

The ignition coils are responsible for the moment of ignition of the mixture in a gasoline engine. it is worth checking them. The electronic circuit of the glow plug relay on a diesel engine can also fail, as a result, the combustion chamber will not warm up, and the ignition of the fuel mixture will not be effective. These are the reasons why the “saw” icon appears after cold start.

Less common, but there are such problems, which are reported by the Renault electronic systems malfunction indicator:

  • water detected in diesel fuel.
  • one of the fuel injectors on the diesel engine is out of order and needs to be replaced: error P1241
  • the electronic throttle valve is dirty, it needs to be cleaned: error DF078. malfunction in the throttle actuator circuit
  • problem with the relay that controls the engine cooling fan speed: error DF019. malfunction or open circuit in the control circuit of the high speed cooling fan relay
  • if the “saw” appears during acceleration in 3-4 gears or under load (uphill), this may indicate that insufficient air is supplied to the engine: error DF301.

What does the “saw” icon mean?

Typically, an illuminated lamp signals to the owner that a failure has occurred with the injection sensors or in the engine ECU.

As an option, the set of sensors mistakenly estimated the amount of incoming air, sent this information to the ECU, and the latter dispensed the incoming fuel so that the mixture turned out to be too rich (a lot of gasoline or diesel fuel) or, conversely, poor. The result is an injection error, detonation or engine triplet. Therefore, often together with the “saw” on the dashboard appears an error icon in engine operation, Check Engine.

The options for the “saw” ignition are different: for some, it appears for 20-30 seconds at the start of the engine and immediately disappears, for other Renault owners the icon lights up only after acceleration and at speed. In some cases, the appearance of the “saw” is accompanied by atypical sounds from the engine compartment, smoky exhaust and even the engine going into emergency mode.

Accordingly, the behavior of the owners is different: someone is forced to go to the service station in a tow truck. Others drive with a burning “saw” to the last.

But a malfunction in the engine injection system needs to be identified and treated. and it is best to do it as quickly as possible.

Who is from Ufa. I will remove this error in 5 minutes. Write to PM.

My friend, I’m not from Ufa, unfortunately, but I could not tell you where to dig. We have no OD. Salekhard

Via LAUNCH. In the dashboard settings, remove one checkbox associated with speed. Strange but works.

Who is from Ufa. I will remove this error in 5 minutes. Write to PM.

I saw your comment on the drive a year ago about the saw on the panel. Today it lit up in red in a traffic jam, the engine turned off, waited 5min, started it, drove, drove 20km all the normal. What can be and how to remove it if it lights up again, I go to Logan 2

I am cleaning through the LAUNCH scanner. In the dashboard settings, remove one checkbox (disable the speed limit parameter)

Ok, thanks. While it doesn’t light up again, if it happens again, I’ll try like you. I hope not

The saw can catch fire in ice when you brake with the gearbox.

Hello, my Renault Duster also burns a saw and a check, today the saw went all day, it turned on and off, and the check constantly began to burn and vibration appeared, and what could be the reason?

It’s hard to say, I had a check because of the dead lambda after the catalyst, and the saw appeared because of the frayed wire on the all-wheel drive clutch

Hello, my Renault Duster also burns a saw and a check, today the saw went all day, it turned on and off, and the check constantly began to burn and vibration appeared, and what could be the reason?

fixed the problem? atoms a similar situation was yesterday. But right now it’s gone out and everything is normal.

All good! Today I caught a constantly burning saw without a check.
The engine stopped pulling straight at the intersection, and even in a turn to the left, as many as laid bricks. He stopped, drowned out, started. the saw was gone. What could be. This has already happened for the 3rd time.
PS.: The battery is old, I want to change it. Someone says that the temperature sensor is drizzling.

The instruction manual for different Renault models indicates the purpose of the control lamp, which looks like a broken line of a cardiogram, or a saw, in a rectangle.

“Temoin de defaillance electronique” is an indicator of electronics failure. Accordingly, the “saw” lamp indicates malfunctions in the car’s electrical system.

Service interval reset Megan 1, 2: detailed guide

It is impossible to imagine a modern car without an on-board computer. In this regard, Renault Megan is no exception. The on-board computer itself is located under the torpedo, and its display is displayed on the instrument panel, while its location and appearance depends on the generation of the car. The control of this device is quite simple and does not require additional skills, only basic knowledge of the translation into English of such terms as oil, speed, gasoline, service, reset, etc. is required. The computer control lever is combined with the right steering column switch for the wipers operation mode, and the enter button is located at the end of this switch.

The on-board computer displays information of the following kind:

  • informational messages, for example, data on the distance traveled, average speed, fuel consumption;
  • notifications about malfunctions in the operation of the car systems, the interval of the car maintenance. in this case, the control notices “Service” must light up;
  • warning signal. with obligatory activation of the control signal “STOP”.

It should be noted that at the request of the driver, you can reset or reset the indicators of the car’s on-board computer.

Service warning

All cars, after a certain period or interval passed, need to be serviced. Its obligatory component is an oil change in the engine. On average, the duration of this interval for Renault Megane is 15,000 km for gasoline engines and 30,000 km for diesel engines. If the car passes less than the above-mentioned distance in a year, the manufacturer recommends changing the oil at least once a year.

Based on these primary data, the on-board computer of the car was equipped with the function of notifying the driver about the upcoming maintenance after 1000 km. the “service” function lights up, the reset of which is mandatory after the end of maintenance.

If the car enthusiast ignored this notification and did not carry out service maintenance of the car in the next 1,000 km, then an indicator in the form of a red wrench lights up on the on-board computer display. It should be noted that the key icon is not located on the main display, but on the lower left side of the secondary screen.

In addition, there is a possibility that after the engine oil change, the indicator with the key and the “service due” notification are still on on the computer display, because there is no automatic reset of this notification. You should not panic and go to a service where maintenance took place, or call your familiar auto electricians and sign up for a car inspection. Everything is quite simple, and you can fix everything yourself in a few minutes.

Maintenance changes

If the key indicator lights up together with the “service due” notification, then after the set 1000 km we go to the car service to change the oil and reset the settings for maintenance. It is recommended to carry out this operation only at service stations if your car is under warranty service. You can also carry out this replacement yourself, guided by the manual and recommendations that are posted on our website.

After changing the oil, it is necessary to reset the old settings and install the new ones. You can do this operation yourself. On Renault cars, it is quite simple and does not require special training. Consider what is needed for this.

On Megan 1, as well as Megan 2 Phase 1 (released before 2006):

  • start the car engine with the ignition key;
  • the red key indicator is now on on the additional screen;
  • press the on-board computer control key several times, which is located on the wiper switch lever, until the inscription “Service due” appears;
  • press and hold the button for calculating the distance traveled, located next to the tachometer. The inscription starts flashing and the display will show the figure 15,000 km (the value of the mileage until the next oil change);
  • now you need to release the button, the indicator with the key will disappear. The service interval has been reset.

To remove the service mileage on a Phase 2 car, which has been produced since 2006, you must:

  • start the car engine, similarly the key icon appears on the display;
  • enter the computer menu using the button on the end of the right steering column switch until the inscription “Service due”;
  • pressing, hold down the computer control button. The value lights up and as a result the display will show the figure 15,000 km (mileage until the next service);
  • release the button, ending the reset of this parameter.

Thus, the procedure for resetting the function itself, in the case when “Service due” and the key indicator light up, is very simple and not time consuming. The on-board computer of your car serves primarily as an assistant, with the help of which you can significantly optimize the operation of the car (calculation of the average fuel consumption, the interval of service maintenance).

However, the car enthusiast should not forget that even the most perfect system can fail.

The on-board computer of a car is no exception, since its operation can be affected by both low or high voltage in the car’s network, and the effect of all kinds of natural factors.

How to reset the service interval yourself

If there was a single step-by-step instruction for resetting the service interval for all cars, it would look something like this:

  • Switch off ignition.
  • Press the corresponding button.
  • Switch on ignition.
  • Pinch / press the button.
  • Wait until the interval is reset.

This is the general order of actions, it does not give specifics. To find out exactly what needs to be done on a particular car, you can search for it in the list below.

Illustration for the VAG-COM program

Service interval reset

The service interval is the period of time between servicing the vehicle. That is, between changing oil, fluids (brake, cooling, power steering) and so on. At the official service stations, after these works, the specialists themselves reset the counter.

It’s okay that the “service” caught fire, in principle, no. In fact, this is a reminder to replace consumables. Often such maintenance is done independently, without involving the services of service centers. But after the maintenance procedure itself is completed, the question remains how to reset the service interval?

The service interval is reset by manipulating the dashboard, battery terminals and the ignition switch. These manipulations may vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle. As a rule, the procedure is reduced to the following sequence.

Service interval reset with VAG-COM

There are special devices for diagnosing cars produced by the German concern VAG. In particular, the VW AUDI SEAT SKODA diagnostic adapter with a CAN bus called VAG COM is popular. It can be used to perform various diagnostic operations, including used to reset the service interval.

The adapter connects to the laptop via the supplied cord. The software may differ depending on the hardware version. Older versions have been partially Russified. The Russian-language version of the program is called “Vasya Diagnost”. The work with the device must be performed according to the available instructions, however, the approximate algorithm will be as follows:

  • Connect the adapter with a lanyard to your computer or laptop. Install bundled software.
  • Connect the adapter to the vehicle. For this, the latter has a special socket where diagnostic equipment is connected. As a rule, it is located somewhere under the front panel or steering column.
  • Switch on the ignition or start the engine.
  • Run the corresponding VCDS software on the computer, then go to its “Settings” menu and select the “Test” button. If all is well, then you will see a window with information that there is a connection between the car’s ECU and the adapter.
  • Further, the diagnostics are carried out in accordance with the needs of the driver and the capabilities of the program. You can read detailed information about them in the attached instructions.

Below is an algorithm for resetting the service interval using the example of a Volkswagen Golf from 2001 and later. To do this, you need to go to the adaptation mode of the dashboard, and change the values ​​of the corresponding channels. In this case, we are talking about channels from 40 to 45. The sequence of their change will be as follows: 45. 42. 43. 44. 40. 41. It may also be necessary to correct channels 46, 47 and 48 if Longlife is enabled. The connection and launch of the program was described above, so below we give you an algorithm for working directly with the software.

  • We go to the “Select control unit”.
  • Select the controller “17. Instrument cluster”.
  • We go to the block “10. Adaptation”.
  • Select channel 45 “Oil grade” and set the desired value. Click “Test” then “Save” (although you can not click the “Test” button).
  • Enter the value 1. if regular oil without LongLife.
  • Enter the value 2. if you are using LongLife gasoline engine oil.
  • Enter the value 4. if using LongLife diesel engine oil.
  • Next, select the channel. 42 “Minimum mileage to service (TO)” and set the desired value. Click “Test” then “Save”.
  • The step with which the distance is set is: 00001 = 1000 km (that is, 00010 = 10000 km). For engines with LongLife, the mileage must be set to 15,000 km. If Longlife is not, then it is better to set 10,000 km.
  • Next, select channel. 43 “Maximum mileage to service (TO)” and set the desired value. Click “Test” then “Save”.
  • The step with which the distance is set is: 00001 = 1000 km (that is, 00010 = 10000 km).
  • For engines with LongLife: 30,000 km for gasoline engines, 50,000 km for 4-cylinder diesel engines, 35,000 km for 6-cylinder diesel engines.
  • For engines without LongLife, you must set the same value that you set in the previous channel 42 (in our case, this is 10,000 km).
  • We select the channel. 44 “Maximum time to service (TO)” and set the desired value. Click “Test” then “Save”.
  • The setting step is: 00001 = 1 day (i.e. 00365 = 365 days).
  • For engines with LongLife, the value should be 2 years (730 days). And for engines without LongLife. 1 year (365 days).
  • Channel. 40 “Mileage after service (TO)”. If, for example, you have done MOT, and the counter has not reset. You can specify how many kilometers traveled after maintenance. We set the desired value. Click “Test” then “Save”.
  • The step is 1 = 100 km.
  • Channel. 41 “Time after service (TO)”. Same thing only in days. Step is 1 = 1 day.
  • Channel. 46. For petrol engines only! Total consumption. The value is used to calculate the longlife interval. Standard value: 00936.
  • Channel. 47. For diesel engines only! The amount of soot in the oil per 100 km. The value is used to calculate the LongLife interval. Standard value: 00400.
  • Channel. 48. For diesel engines only! Engine temperature load. The value is used to calculate the LongLife interval. Standard value: 00500.

We remind you that you will find detailed information on working with the program in the manual.
