Note: When programming, reprogramming or replacing the ECU, it is necessary to teach it the C2I (individual injector correction) parameters and the engine adaptive values using the RENAULT CLIP diagnostic tool.

There are two methods available (Diesel injection chapter):

  • an automatic method, which can be used if the information stored in the old ECU can be read,
  • a manual method, which must be used when the information stored in the old ECU cannot be read.

REMOVAL

  • Remove the engine covers.
  • Disconnect the battery.
  • Remove the battery.
