If your car is equipped with an on-board computer, then you can read the fault codes to find out what is the cause of the incorrect operation of the car. In this case, you will need to decode the codes that appear during the error diagnosis. Today you will learn how to decode fault codes Renault Logan, what they are and how the car is diagnosed.

Diagnosis of auto

If you decide to decipher the fault codes for your Reno, be it Logan, Megan or even Premium, then you will need to make a diagnosis first. There are several ways to conduct it:

  • Trip to the service station. Experts will conduct diagnostics with the help of equipment, in particular - the scanner and will provide you with error codes present in the system of your car. 
  • Diagnosis by computer. To do this, you will need a special scanner. The procedure is not cheap and is more suitable for those who like to "dig" in technology.
  • New on-board computer. In case you do not like the native BC installed in the factory. You can buy more functional, which will notify you not only about errors, but even about fuel consumption.
  • Connect the smartphone to the on-board computer. With a functional phone, you can connect it to the OBD-2 connector and decode the codes directly from your gadget. To do this, you need a Bluetooth adapter.

Let's consider the process of Renault Logan diagnostics using the example of the ELM327 adapter.

  1. First, find the diagnostic OBD connector, which is in the glove compartment of the car on the right side.
  2. Then insert the purchased adapter into the diagnostic socket and put your mobile device next to it. By the way, you can use not only the phone, but also a tablet computer. Download in advance and install the necessary software on it. Depending on the phone model, the name of the programs may differ. In practice, most domestic motorists perform diagnostics of their Renault with the help of the Torque program. It can be easily found and downloaded on the Internet without any problems.
  3. Turn the key in the ignition and start your car.
  4. Then turn on the Bluetooth function on your phone and run the software that you decided to use for diagnosis.
  5. Wait a few minutes for your phone to synchronize with the adapter that you inserted into the diagnostic socket. When the utility connects to the ELM327, the parameters of the motor of your car will be displayed on the phone screen.
  6. To understand why on the dashboard auto lights Check Engine light, go to the appropriate section in the program window. Then the utility will start to read the combination of faults from the on-board computer memory. If the software has fixed at least one breakdown, a combination of letters and numbers with decoding is displayed on the mobile phone screen. Only by deciphering the code, you will be able to replace the non-working component.

Deciphering fault codes

The fault codes of the vehicle consist of five symbols. The first letter is the letter, and then the numbers are coming. As for the letters:

  • P - means that the fault is due to the operation of the motor or gearbox;
  • In - in translation literally means a malfunction of a body. Here it is a question of malfunctions of pillows of safety, electric window regulators, adjustment of seats, the central lock of the car, etc .;
  • C - indicates a malfunction in the running system;
  • U - means detection of breakage in the operation of electronic systems.

Next, consider the notation of numbers:

  • in the second position, the digit 0 denotes the common code for the diagnostic OBD-2 connector, the number 1 or 2 denotes the vehicle manufacturer's code;
  • in the third position, the numbers 1-8 mean breakages in the fuel system, ignition, idler, transmission, etc .;
  • the fourth and fifth positions indicate the serial number of the malfunction.

Next, consider the most common combinations of errors encountered during the diagnosis of Renault cars.

Electrical circuit faults

P3500 This combination means that there is a malfunction in the electrical circuit of the electronic immobilizer system. In the case of hacking the machine, the engine will not be blocked.

P3501 The connection with the climate system is reportedly broken. The wiring should be checked more carefully.

P3502 The on-board computer reports a break or short circuit in the communication circuit with the cruise control system.

P3503 This combination means a loss of communication between the control unit and the ABS unit. To restore the signal, check the lead wires from the ABS unit to the computer. If you previously soldered the wires in this section of the wiring, then first of all, attention should be paid to them.

P3504 The control unit informs the car owner of any faults in the wiring or communication failure with the refrigerant pressure monitor. In this case, incorrect information can be displayed on the instrument panel screen.

P3505 The control unit fixes the communication error with the fuel system. Check the wires for breaks and shorts. If you know that there are soldered sections in the wiring, then first of all they should take time.

P3506, P3507 The control unit informs the motorist that the ignition coil circuit of the first and fourth or second and third cylinder cylinders is closed to ground

P3508, P3509 The control unit has detected a loss of communication with the ignition coil of the first and fourth or second and third cylinders.

P3511 This error code indicates that there is a short to ground in the fuse links of the actuator elements.

P3515 This combination means fixing a malfunction to the purge circuit of the adsorber purge valve. In particular, the chain can be closed or in it there was a breakage. It should be more carefully checked the wiring in this area.

P3520 If this combination of symbols appears during the diagnosis, it means that the control unit notifies that an interruption or short circuit has occurred in the wiring of the antifreeze emergency temperature lamp.

P3522 A short circuit has occurred in the wiring of the idling control device. It is necessary to check the circuit or replace the sensor.

3500 An open or short circuit occurred in the wiring of the immobilizer system.

Renault Logan engine trouble

Immediately it should be noted that this material provides an incomplete list of combinations of codes that you can see during the diagnosis. We consider only those that are most often encountered in the verification of Reno. In addition, with the release of new models of the French manufacturer, the number of codes and, accordingly, the errors are constantly replenished.

The error detection process of the on-board computer
The error detection process of the on-board computer

How do I reset the fault codes? This question was asked, probably, every car owner Renault, who made the diagnosis of the car on his own. If you have decoded the DTC and replaced the failed item, you will need to reset the error in the on-board computer memory. This is done because even when the fault is eliminated, the error still remains in the memory. So, with the subsequent diagnosis of auto it can again appear.

 

Therefore, it must be erased from memory. To do this, open the hood and disconnect the terminals from the battery. Please note that the car ignition must be switched off. Wait 10 seconds and replace the battery terminals. So you erased the error code from the on-board computer memory.
