Carry out a conformity check to detect any possible faults.
Check the setting point of the converter (see MR 364 Mechanical, 23A, Automatic transmission, Checking the
setting point of the converter (for Mégane II and Scénic II)
If the setting point value is not correct, carry out the following checks:
–Check the oil pressure using PR003 Oil pressure:
–Warm engine with gearbox oil temperature between 65 and 90˚C.
–Take the line pressure reading under the following 3 conditions:
Important
The vehicle must be stationary: handbrake on and brake pedal depressed, no accessories operating
(e.g.: air conditioning)
1Engine speed idling:
Shift the gear lever to R, N and D, the pressure reading must be greater than 2.5 bar.
2Engine speed at 1200 rpm:
–gear lever in R position, the pressure reading must be greater than 4 bars.
–gear lever in D position, the pressure reading in first gear must be greater than 5.5 bars.
3Engine speed at 2200 rpm:
–gear lever in R position, the pressure reading must be greater than 11 bars.
–gear lever in D position, the pressure reading in first gear must be greater than 11 bars.
If the line pressure value read under one of these 3 conditions is incorrect, replace the line pressure sensor.
If the line pressures recorded under these 3 conditions are good, then the pressure sensor is operating correctly.
Replace the pressure regulating solenoid valve.
If the fault is still present after the pressure regulating solenoid valve has been replaced, replace the hydraulic
distributor and during refitting, take into account Technical Note 4194A Automatic transmission indicator strip
flashing for the adjustment of the ball detent blade.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults. Clear the fault memory.
Switch off the ignition and carry out a road test followed by a test with the diagnostic
tool.

●Check the oil pressure with the engine switched off using PR003 Oil pressure: if the pressure is greater than
0.2 bars, replace the pressure sensor.

NOTESRun fault finding on the injection system and check that it is
operating correctly.
Deal with all other faults first.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
Safe mode is triggered after a fault, not by the driver.
To check that there are no faults with the turbine speed sensor, apply the interpretation of fault DF038 Turbine
speed sensor circuit.
To check that there are no faults with the vehicle speed signal, apply the interpretation of fault DF048 Vehicle
speed signal.
Carry out a conformity check to detect any possible faults.
If the fault is still present, a brake or clutch in the gearbox is certainly defective.
Contact Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults. Clear the fault memory.
Switch off the ignition and carry out a road test followed by a test with the
diagnostic tool.

BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED
NOTESThere must be no present or stored faults.
This status indicates the position of the brake pedal
The status is YES when the brake pedal is pressed.
The status is NO when the brake pedal is not pressed.
If the status does not function as specified above, use the interpretation of fault DF119 Brake pedal position.
Disconnect the computer.
Check the cleanliness and condition of the connections.
Check the continuity, insulation and the absence of interference resistance on the following connections:
●Connection code 5A between components 119 and 160.
If the connection is faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair,
Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the fault is still present, replace the brake sensor.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

NOTESOnly refer to Customer complaints after carrying out a complete fault finding
procedure with the diagnostic tool and the conformity check.
Carry out a road test using the diagnostic tool, making sure that status ET013 Gear engaged operates normally.
If the customer complaint occurs with the brake pedal released, check that status ET004 Brake light switch
(Closed) is NO.
If not, adjust the brake light switch and the brake pedal.
Make sure that the instrument panel display of the gear engaged matches the gear lever position.
Check the automatic transmission wiring harness (sequence solenoid valve control).
Replace it if necessary.
Check that the gear lever cable is working properly and adjust it if necessary.
Check that the multifunction switch is working correctly.
If the fault is still present, replace the multifunction switch.
Carry out fault finding on the injection system.
Check engine speed signal PR006 during a road test at a steady speed.
If the signal is wrong, replace the engine speed sensor.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a road test followed by a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
