They confirmed that the message was correct and that a replacement unit would be in the region of 875 euro, and that they also noted that my nearside front spring was broken and would cost me 380 euro to replace. When I arrived, the car had obviously been out of the workshop for well over 30 minutes but I was still charged the full 60 euro, and given a typed report on the cars status. Approximately 1 hour later, they called me to say that they had finished and I could pick the car up. I made an appointment and left the car with them. I rang the Renault agents, who happen to be more than 60 km away and they advised me that to connect to their diagnostic sytem would cost me 60 euro per hour.
I went to my local garage and he didn't want anything to do with it because he said he didn't have the necessary computer link for my car seeing as how it is an 05. Everything was fine for the first 3 weeks and then the 'check the parking brake' message appeared. I bought my scenic only 4-5 months ago just to get me back on the road and into the system here in Ireland after spending several years in the Philippines. Looks to be a very useful source of info for a car that I love which brings the odd foibles every few months! PS - my first post - so hello to everyone. Is it possible? Has anyone ever achieved this without an expensive trip to Renault?Īs an aside, does anyone know what Renault charge to plug onto their system an reset? I have also purchased an ELM327 OBD reader and like you, I can read the engine status and and other diagnostic info BUT, I cannot switch off that pesky warning message. I have exactly the same cause (flat battery hand brake release) for my Grand Scenic 1.5dci 2004 and the same message "Check Parking Brake" with the "P" symbol.
(Please note the electric parking brake over-ride in the boot has not been touched so that is not the answer) I have got an ELM327 code reader- when this is hooked up by plugging in to the socket between the front seats I can read engine RPM and other data but no faults are being displayed.- The scan tool software has an option to reset all codes including codes that are not displayed- has anyone ever done this- is it safe to reset? (Or does anyone else know how I can reset the warning message?) Holding the button on the stalk does not seem to do it.
There is nothing wrong with the parking brake it works fine so i want to reset the fault display.
