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.

4FUNCTION: LIGHTING
4.1 Sub-function: LIGHTING CONTROL
The UCH receives the request from the driver, from the lighting stalk, from the hazard warning lights button and, if
fitted to the vehicle, from the light detector.
The UCH requests the Protection and Switching Unit, via the multiplex network, to provide power to the side lights,
dipped headlights, main beam headlights and fog lights (front).
If a request to activate the lighting is made, the UPC provides power to the xenon bulb computers.
The dipped headlights are still supplied when the main beam headlights are activated.
The following statuses can be displayed:
ET081 Lighting stalk position.
ET082 Rear fog lights request.
ET085 Hazard warning lights switch.
ET083 Left-hand direction indicator request.
ET084 Right-hand indicator request.
If the UCH cannot determine the position of the control stalk, or inform the Protection and Switching Unit of the
control stalk's position, the Protection and Switching Unit will activate the dipped headlights.
4.2 Sub-function: LIGHTING POWER
The UCH controls the power supply for the rear fog light (a single one), direction indicators and interior lighting (roof
lights and footwell/floor lights).
The interior lighting request can be displayed using the ET112 Interior lighting control status.
Operation of the lights powered by the UCH can be checked using the actuator commands AC009 Rear fog lights,
AC022 Left-hand direction indicator, AC023 Right-hand direction indicator, AC021 Interior lights and AC027
Footwell/floor lighting.

INTERIOR LIGHTING CONTROL
NOTESNo faults should be present or stored.
Use Wiring Diagrams Technical Note for MEGANE II or SCENIC II.
ET112 is Inactive but the interior lights are operating.
Check whether the footwell/floor switches operate correctly; if YES, contact the Techline.
If NO, check the earth on connection 13AC of component 645, if there is an earth, check the continuity and
insulation of the wiring harness between the UCH and the switch connectors (see wiring diagram).
If the connector is faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical
wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector; otherwise, replace the wiring.
If the fault is still present, replace the faulty switch.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out another fault finding check on the system.
Clear the stored faults.
Deal with any other faults.

INTERIOR LIGHTS
NOTESNo faults should be present or stored.
This command is for testing interior lights operation.
Check the bulbs.
Use Wiring Diagrams Technical Note for MEGANE II or SCENIC II.
The interior lights do not light when the command is activated.
Check the condition and connection of the interior lights connectors.
If the connector is faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical
wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector; otherwise, replace the wiring.
Check for earth on connection MAM of components 213 and 300.
If the connector is faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical
wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector; otherwise, replace the wiring.
With the command running, check for + 12 V feed on connection BPT of components 213 and 300.
If OK, check the bulbs again, and if still not OK replace the interior light(s).
Check the condition and connection of the PP3 connector on the UCH.
If the connector is faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical
wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector; otherwise, replace the wiring.
Check the insulation and continuity of the following connection:
●Connection code 13E.
Between components 645 and 213.
Between components 645 and 300.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical

ALP33 Locking fault in hands-free mode
NOTESCheck that there is no APC or card in the card reader.
Conduct the tests with the other cards allocated to the vehicle.
First carry out a function fault finding check.
Make sure all the doors are fully closed (check that the interior lights are off or switch
on the ignition to check that no door is open from the instrument panel symbol).
Visually check that the lock buttons are not stuck in the down position.
Check that one of the cards has not been disabled (locked in the vehicle), activate the
+ after ignition feed with this card and attempt to unlock again with it.
If the fault only affects one card, replace the faulty card.
Make sure statuses ET058, ET059 and ET060 indicating a press on the lock button for each door or the boot
become active when the button is pressed.
Test all the lock buttons.
See the section for dealing with the status(es) concerned.
Make sure that the cards belong to the vehicle and are properly configured by running command SC005 Check
card.
If the cards belong to the vehicle but have a faulty configuration, program the cards.
Run command AC037 Transmitter aerial fault finding and see if a fault appears.
In the event of a present or stored fault, refer to the procedure for it.
Run the following commands and check the card coverage zone on each side of the vehicle:
AC032 Driver's side external aerial test
AC033 Passenger's side external aerial test
AC034 Boot external aerial test.
The card reader starts to flash as soon as a card is detected in the coverage zone.
The maximum distance from the vehicle is 1.5 m.
If not correct, apply the fault finding procedure associated with each command.
This mode enables a Mégane hands-free card to be detected in the coverage zone of the vehicle or that of
another vehicle.
Configure the UCH in hands-free function (see Configurations and programming).
If the fault is still present, contact Techline.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check using the diagnostic tool.
