Renault CAN Clip reads fault codes from every module across all Renault, Dacia, and selected Nissan vehicles. Here are the most frequently seen codes and what they mean.
Renault Fault Code Format
Renault uses standard OBD2 P/B/C/U codes plus proprietary Renault-specific codes displayed in CAN Clip as DF numbers (e.g., DF001, DF089). CAN Clip maps every Renault DF code to its OBD2 equivalent and provides the official Renault diagnostic procedure for each.
Common Renault Engine Codes
- DF001 / P0335 — Crankshaft position sensor signal absent. Common on K4M and F4R engines. Sensor or wiring fault.
- DF011 / P0130 — Upstream O2 sensor signal fault. Sensor deterioration or exhaust leak upstream of sensor.
- DF063 / P0400 — EGR circuit fault. EGR valve carbon buildup on dCi diesel engines.
- DF260 / P1160 — Motorized throttle regulation fault. Throttle body cleaning or replacement, TPS adaptation reset via CAN Clip.
- DF597 — Injector circuit fault (specific cylinder). Injector resistance check; injector coding via CAN Clip after replacement.
Common Renault Gearbox / DP0 Codes
- DF198 — Automatic gearbox: torque converter slip. ATF fluid condition check; DP0/AL4 valve body cleaning.
- DF204 — Gear ratio fault (2nd gear). Internal gearbox fault — DP0 valve body or clutch pack.
- DP0 Service Reset — After DP0/AL4 gearbox fluid change, adaptation reset via CAN Clip is mandatory to avoid shift quality issues.
UCH (Body Control Unit) Codes
- DF089 — UCH: fault with key memorized. Immobilizer code mismatch — UCH programming or key re-initialization via CAN Clip.
- DF1000 — UCH communication fault. CAN bus issue or UCH module fault.
Renault Zoe EV Codes
- DF1234 — Battery management system fault. CAN Clip provides Zoe-specific BMS diagnostic procedures including cell voltage balancing analysis.
- DF1435 — Charger fault. On-board charger module communication or hardware issue.
