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.

5. TYRE FUNCTION
SYSTEM COMPOSITION
The tyre pressure monitor system consists of the following components:
–four sensors (one on each wheel but not on the spare wheel),
–a computer (UCH),
–an instrument panel display for the driver.
WARNING:
It is forbidden to install PAX System tyres on a vehicle without PAX System tyres as standard.
In the MEGANE II family, PAX System tyres can only be installed on the 5-seat SCENIC II.

SYSTEM OPERATION
–The valves are activated approximately 1 minute after the vehicle has been running at a speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h).
–During driving, the valves emit signals every minute.
–The valves remain active for 15 minutes after the vehicle stops, then switch to standby mode.
–In standby mode, the valves emit signals only if they detect a pressure difference between two successive
measurements exceeding 68 mbar or if the pressure difference since last emitting exceeds 68 mbar (due to tyre
cooling).
–The tyres are considered to be cold when the vehicle speed has been zero for 1h 45 min.
–The minimum time for detection of a leak is approximately 15 minutes.
–The message Inflate tyres for motorway is displayed only if the vehicle travels at more than 102 mph (170 km/
h) (as an indication) for 3 minutes and the pressure on at least one of the tyres is 400 mbar less than the
recommended pressure at low speed. This message is inactive if the tyres are inflated to motorway pressure,
irrespective of the vehicle speed.
–Alert thresholds:
–over-inflation when cold = recommended pressure + 700 mbar,
–over-inflation when hot = recommended pressure + 850 mbar,
–under-inflation = recommended pressure - 400 mbar,
–serious under-inflation = recommended pressure - 600 mbar,
–imbalance = difference in pressure between the left-hand and right-hand wheels on the same axle greater
than 500 mbar.
–Information messages for the driver:
–Stop! Tyre puncture + STOP warning light + wheel concerned is highlighted on instrument panel display +
buzzer.
–Adjust tyre pressure + the wheel concerned is highlighted on instrument panel display.
–Inflate tyres for motorway + four wheels highlighted on instrument panel display.
–Tyre sensor fault + the wheel concerned is erased.
–Electronic fault + "Service" warning light + the four wheels concerned disappear from the instrument panel
display.
–No display of the tyre inflation pressure on the instrument panel on MEGANE II.

REPLACING THE UCH COMPUTER
Switch off the ignition before replacing the UCH.
After replacing the UCH, configure the new computer for the equipment present on the vehicle.
●Configure the UCH: WITH or WITHOUT Tyre pressure monitor function using command CF023 Tyre pressure
monitor function in scenario SC008 UCH type.
●Enter the recommended pressures with command VP005 Enter recommended pressures.
●Program the four valve codes using command SC002 Program the four valve codes.
The configurations are described under the Configuration and programming section.
REPLACING ONE OR MORE VALVES
Program the UCH with the new valve code by running command SC002 described in the Configuration and
programming section.
Note: Program all four valve codes even if only one valve has been replaced.
REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
After replacing the instrument panel, configure it for the equipment installed in the vehicle.
Configure the tyre pressure monitor function WITH or WITHOUT in the instrument panel using command CF145
Tyre pressure monitor (see 83A, Instrument panel).

5.1 PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE FOR THE 4 VALVE CODES (SC002)
SC002:
Programming the four valve codes
IMPORTANT:
Any operation involving the replacement of a wheel sensor, requires perfect knowledge of the
recommendations defined in Repair Manual 364 (for Mégane II) or 370 (for Scénic II), section 35.
●Inflate the four tyres to 3.8 bar.
●Establish communication with the UCH using the diagnostic tool.
●Select the Repair mode menu.
●Select the Programming menu.
●Select line SC002 in the Tyre function.
●The stored codes and valve sets detected are displayed.
●Select the Valve set selection menu, then Summer or Winter.
●Confirm to display the Valve programming conditions table.
●Confirm by selecting next to obtain the Find valve codes menu.
●Excite each valve by holding the valve exciter against the tyre just below the valve in question.
●Start with the front left-hand wheel.
●Wait for the new code to appear on the screen before moving on to the next valve.
●The order for programming the codes is as follows:
Front left-hand Front right-hand Rear right-hand Rear left-hand
●Click on the "Confirm" button to transmit the codes to the UCH.
●Inflate the tyres to the recommended pressures.
●Carry out a road test: speed > 12 mph (20 km/h) for 10 minutes.
●Check that no message appears on the instrument panel.
IMPORTANT:
When swapping wheels over, reprogram the UCH with the new valve positions using the diagnostic tool and
program the valve codes.
The coloured rings will then have to be placed back in the location marked on the label on the driver's door.

5.2 PROCEDURE FOR ENTERING THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURES (VP005)
VP005:
ENTER RECOMMENDED PRESSURES
To enter the recommended pressures correctly, use the values recommended by the manufacturer and found in
the repair manual (MR 364 (Mégane II) or MR 370 (Scénic II), Mechanical, 35A, Tyre pressure: Identification),
or Driver's handbook for the vehicle with the tyres installed on the vehicle or indicated on the label on the
driver's door.
●Select the Repair mode menu.
●Select the Other parameters menu.
●Select line VP005.
●Enter the vehicle type: Extended MPV or other.
●Enter the recommended pressures at the keyboard.
