1.1.6 Principle of Electric Childproof Locking:
The UCH controls the rear door locks to prevent them from being opened by means of the interior door handles and
inhibits operation of the rear electric window switches.
The switch statuses and the activation of electric childproof locks can be viewed using the following statuses:
–ET233 Child safety lock switch,
–ET159 Rear left-hand door child safety lock,
–ET160 Rear right-hand door child safety lock.
The configuration Child safety lock can be read using configuration LC035 Child safety lock and modified (see
Configurations and programming) using the specific command SC016 Child safety lock (Vdiag 4C, 4D, 4F and
50).
Fault finding can be performed on the child safety lock switch indicator light using command AC076 Child safety
lock indicator light.
1.1.7 Principle of Deadlocking:
The UCH controls the door locks to prevent unlocking via the interior handles. This function is activated by pressing
and holding (+ 2 seconds) the Renault card's locking button or by pressing the door locking button twice.
The direction indicators flash rapidly three times for deadlocking (in addition to the two flashes for locking).
For this function to operate, the vehicle must have deadlocking (2 motors) and configuration LC003 Deadlocking
must be WITH (see Configurations and programming). Deadlocking is configured using CF009 Deadlocking.
The source of the last deadlocking activation/deactivation can be viewed using statuses ET088 Deadlocking
activation source and ET090 Deadlocking deactivation source.
It is impossible to deadlock the vehicle if the + accessories feed is active, if the lights are switched on or if the hazard
warning lights are activated.
1.1.8 The valet card function, specific to certain countries (e.g. Mexico):
This function controls the valet card option which enables vehicles fitted with it to separately control unlocking of the
driver's door, the boot, or the passenger doors and the glovebox.
When the vehicle is electrically pre-equipped with the valet option and this option has been configured, the cards can
be used in two different customer modes. The "master" cards can unlock all the opening elements, but the "valet"
cards cannot unlock the glovebox, the boot and the passenger opening elements. They can only start the vehicle,
lock the whole vehicle, and unlock the driver's door. The function is configured with CF085 Valet card function
using the specific command SC008 UCH type. To access CF085, configure CF036 Selective opening element
opening to WITH.
To check that this function has been configured correctly, use LC016 Card valet function.

1.1.13 Principle of automatic window relift:
When the doors are locked, and the lock button on the card is pressed twice in succession (or the door or boot if
the vehicle is fitted with hands-free function), the windows close automatically (as well as the sunroof, if fitted to
the vehicle).
The function is available on certain vehicles (see table below) depending on the number of one touch windows on
the vehicle and depending on the bodywork phases.
The automatic window relift function cannot be configured separately; it is automatically configured during special
command SC008 UCH type according to the vehicle type, number of one-touch windows and the production number
type.
1.1.14 Principle of new vehicle storage mode:
The vehicle is configured in this mode when it leaves the factory to optimise its power consumption:
–The immobiliser warning light is inhibited.
–The direction indicator warning lights are lit continuously on the instrument panel.
Before delivering the vehicle to the customer, deactivate this mode:
–By flipping down the steering column controls with the after ignition feed off.
–Or using command VP016 Deactivate new vehicle storage mode.
This function can only be activated in the factory with UCH Vdiag 4F or 50.If Then

2Injection computer
3Card reader
4Start button
5Starter aerials
6Renault Card
7Multiplex network
8Wire connection
The UCH shares control of the vehicle's immobiliser protection system with other computers.
De-protection of the vehicle is performed in three consecutive stages:
–a) Authentication of the card (hands-free or card reader).
–Unlocking of the steering column lock (to allow after ignition feed to be established).
–Unlocking the injection computer.
1.2.1 Authentication of the Renault card:
Authentication is performed differently depending on whether the vehicle is fitted with the hands-free option or not.
a) Authentication of the Renault card when the vehicle is fitted with the hands-free option:
When the user presses the start button, the UCH activates its starting aerials and authenticates a card in the
following way:
1/ The UCH activates its three starting aerials which generate a 125 kHz radio frequency signal. This signal is sent
to the Renault card.
2/ If the Renault card is located in the zone covered by the starting aerials and recognises its UCH, it responds
directly to the UCH with a 433 MHz signal giving its identifier.

1.2.2 Unlocking/locking the steering column:
1Steering column lock
2multiplex line
3Supply
4Sensor Line
5Safety line
a/ Unlocking the steering column lock
Following authentication of the Renault card:
1/ The UCH sends a code to the electric steering column lock with an unlocking request via the multiplex network
(ET119 UCH request to steering column lock).
2/ If the electric steering column lock recognises the code, it unlocks and sends its unlocked status to the UCH
(ET073 Steering column lock sensor signal).
3/ When the UCH receives the "Steering column unlocking completed" signal, it orders the Protection and Switching
Unit to activate the + after ignition relay and the procedure continues.
The physical status of the column lock can be displayed by status ET072 Steering column lock and its
programming can be displayed by status ET071 Steering column lock blank.
The steering column lock remains locked if:
–There is excessive mechanical load on the steering column (e.g.: wheel jammed against a kerb),
–the battery voltage is too low,
–the power demanded by the column lock is too high (thermal protection of the column lock electric motor). Note:
After ignition feed can only be established if the steering column unlocking procedure is performed
correctly.

b/ Locking the steering column:
The steering column is locked with the engine off, after the Renault card is removed from the card reader. This
locking operation requires:
–a valid 0 mph (0 km/h) speed signal,
–a correctly functioning airbag and no impact detected,
–a deactivated + after ignition connection.
When the engine has not been started but the after ignition feed is active (e.g. forced after ignition feed), certain
conditions in which there is a drop in the after ignition feed do not cause the steering column to lock ("steering
column not locked" message).
Steering column lock fails if:
1/ Normal non-locking scenarios:
–the card is present in the card reader,
–more than 20 minutes has elapsed with the card in the reader and the engine off,
–the vehicle speed is not zero,
–power is demanded by the steering column lock too frequently.
With regard to vehicles fitted with UCH computer Vdiag 4F or above:
–the Renault card is removed from the card reader when the vehicle is in forced + after ignition feed,
–3 minutes have elapsed following a starting failure due to an engaged gear,
–the Renault card is removed from the card reader following a starting failure due to an engaged gear,
–a front door is open following a starting failure due to an engaged gear and the card is not in the reader.
To lock the steering column, start and stop the engine again.
2/ Abnormal non-locking scenarios:
–the airbag unit is faulty or locked,
–the airbag unit is disconnected,
–the airbag has been triggered,
–the speed signal is not available.
In the event that a steering column does not lock, the driver is informed via the message Steering column not locked.
1.2.3 Locking the injection computer:
When the + after ignition feed has been established, the UCH and the injection computer compare their codes via
the multiplex network. If the codes are identical, the vehicle immobiliser is deactivated (ET046 Immobiliser).
If there is a failure, the immobiliser remains active.
Reactivating protection: the immobiliser is reactivated when the engine stops.

1.2.4 Renault card check by the UCH:
a/ Card check:
When the engine is running, the UCH checks for the presence of the Renault card in the passenger compartment (if
vehicle is hands-free) or in the card-reader when a door is opened then closed. If the Renault card is not detected, a
message on the instrument panel and a buzzer warn the driver.
Command AC036 Internal aerial test is used to check the area covered by the starting aerials inside the passenger
compartment (hands-free vehicles). The card reader flashes when the card is detected.
This command allows a hands-free card to be recognised even if it does not belong to the vehicle.
b/ Low battery warning:
If the Renault card battery is faulty or flat, the change card battery message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the vehicle is started, if there have been 5 attempts to authenticate the Renault card since the battery fault.
c/ Storing information on the card:
A device allowing information relating to the vehicle to be read from the card is available.
Information available: – VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
–Mileage.
–Fuel level.
–Mileage before oil change.
–Tyre pressure (if vehicle fitted with SSPP).
–Status of OBD warning light.
–Oil level.

1.3 SUB-FUNCTION: STARTING
The UCH manages the control section of the starting sub-function. For this function to operate normally, the
protection function must proceed correctly (immobiliser inactive ET046 Immobiliser).
In order to control the starter motor, the UCH requires the following status and parameter information to check that
the starting conditions have been met:
–Start button ET070 Start button.
–Clutch pedal position ET048 Clutch pedal position.
–Brake pedal position ET047 Brake pedal position.
–Automatic gearbox selector lever position ET108 Automatic gearbox selector lever position.
–Position of the manual gearbox selector lever (see 87G, Engine compartment connection unit, Conformity
check).
If the starting conditions are met, the request for the Protection and Switching Unit to activate the starter motor can
be viewed using status ET110 UCH request to injection or Protection and Switching Unit.
1.4 Main COMPONENTS of the ACCESS/SAFETY function
1.4.1 Main components of the ACCESS sub-function:
–Renault card,
–UCH,
–optical presence sensors located in the door handles,
–access aerials integrated in the door handles and the tailgate,
–the locking switches incorporated in the door handles,
–the boot-only opening/locking switch built into the boot badge,
–opening element locking motors.
1.4.1.1 The Renault card:
The Renault card has three buttons which allow:
–locking of the vehicle,
–unlocking of the vehicle,
–the boot to be locked/unlocked.
The Renault hands-free card allows hands-free operation if it is located in the access and starting zones.
The Renault card is powered by a 3 V battery. This battery is required for operation in hands-free mode or remote
control mode (card button presses).
If the battery is old or in an area of frequency interference, the emergency insert located in the Renault card allows
the driver's door to be unlocked.
