Combination Of Indicator Lights Shows Up

[comanr 57]

As far as I know, ELM is no good for renault/dacia as you need CAN-CLIP interface, my advice is not the one you would like to hear but one you really need:

 

1.have basic mechanical/diagnostic skills

2.look in your service manual

3.if you get confused take your car to a dealer/service

 

have a nice evening.

thanks for reply....

 

of course i have service manual already with all error codes listed in it and corresponding descriptions. the only thing i need to know now is the code of the error I believe that one friend of mine has this cable and some laptop program. I guess i am going to visit him in near future

Hello Jurajs,

 

1. ELM 327 devices ( as all generic devices on market) is only reading / checking engine errors. You have ABS, 4x4 and ESP errors;

2. as I see from your picture, you have a Duster PH1; on this version only UCH is visible with K-Line interface and laptop of your friend, which does not help you(UCH I mean);

3. all other computers from Duster are on CAN protocol; for engine, ELM327 will do just fine, but for rest of them you wont see anything.

 

So, unless your friend have his on service ( in which case he might have the proper tools) I recommend again to go to a Dacia service.

I tried to install DDT2000 and CLIP in order to have access to rest of computers (just for hobby) and I gave up.

@jurasj, did you find / solve the problem ? What was it ? Would you share your findings please ?

not yet. am still kind of busy to leave the car in service for whole day. anyway, i will have to change the oil soon, maybe also switch tires too. so then i sort it out altogether ...and let you know.

hello there.

 

so after some time i managed to post an update to this - sorry for delay . i have my car fixed now, but it took some time. i have been using it with that ABS/ESP malfunction for almost half a year (no serious issue for me anyway).

 

the problem was a crack in iron gear ring near wheel on the left rear axis (see attached pictures). this piece is used to determine how fast the wheel is rotating and this information passes to the control unit. as far the readings from sensors were faulty, the control unit turned off some drive assistance electronic systems.

 

first i have tried to fix it in dacia service, but they proposed to replace whole halfaxis (this was the smallest possible replaceable part available to order) and estimated total cost of repair to about 500 eur. this is way too much money for fixing such small crack in simple iron ring. So i decided not to fix it for the moment and ask few guys around to give me a hint for a clever mechanic. i found one and he was able to machine this part from a raw iron plate in one evening (costs me 60 eur). the ring was replaced and since then i am having no issues for more than 1000+ km.

 

i hope this could possibly help some of you with similar problem like i had.

 

have a nice drive,

Juraj

Thanks jurasj for sharing your experience.

Hopefully it is your last serious issue with your Duster.
