    Are you sure it is a software issue? Could be a duff ECU, wiring, power supply, earth?

    When you get a no comms check to see if the ECU is powered up first...
  2.  
    ECU is fine i can coonect to any other thing on the car except this handbrake ? airbag , abs, management no problem ? car drives fine yet its still showing this fault and i cannot connect to see what it is, which is annoying me now as its my car.

    Hi

    Just because you can connect to all other ECU,s doesn't mean you do not have a fault with comms lines or power supply etc, they are not on common k line a la VW...

    Never had a problem accessing this ECU on Scenic...anyone else had an issue?

    Just connected to 2005 SCENIC 2 and parking brake worked fine so must be a different ECU variant?

    On another note we then used the CLIP tool and noticed that there is a function to change from manual to Automatic function so thats on the list now..

    Renault engineer is here first week in may (flights permitting) so if we cannot find one is it possible to get access to yours for an hour or so?

    regards

    oh a bargain then ! just so it will connect to the parking brake of my car ? i think the £90.00 renault are charging will be cheaper option even though my machine should connect.

    Hi, we cannot add this system until the engineers are here to log the vehicle, it is not a software glitch but a system not covered yet. I gather that there are a few different systems as we have managed to scan everyone we have tried.

    There was a 2005/2006 Renault Scenic recall on parking brakes in June 2010. I recently bought one and was advised to book into Renault dealer to get sorted.free.
