Renault Electrical Diagnostics
Renault uses a UCH (Unité Centrale d'Habitacle) body control module, a central gateway, and CLIP diagnostics. Common faults include UCH body and locking issues, key/immobiliser faults, card-key problems and charging warnings. The Renault Card keyless system has its own fault patterns.
