Introduction
The Abrites diagnostics for Renault/ Dacia online is a Windows-based online software developed by Abrites. It requires a minimum of 1024MB RAM, 64GB of free hard drive space, and at least a Windows 7 64bit Service Pack 1 or later version to operate. It can be used for diagnostics of Renault/ Dacia vehicles using OBD II. The supported vehicles are the ones produced after around the year 1999 up to the present day. With its help, you can perform basic diagnostics, monitor live data, read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), Clear DTCs, etc. With its help, you will also be able to perform other tasks the future you will be able to perform module adaptation and cluster calibration, and key programming.
Using the Abrites diagnostics for Renault/Dacia
The Abrites diagnostics for Renault/ Dacia is a Windows-based online
application and as such it requires the computer you have installed it on to
be connected to the internet. We can suggest a connection to the internet via
3G/ 4G from a mobile device as well as a WI-FI network. Please ensure to have
port 8443 allowed by your internet service provider in order to ensure the
correct functionality of your Abrites diagnostics for Renault/ Dacia Online.
Using the icon in the top right of your software screen you will be
able to see the internet connectivity and signal strength and the settings
icon (sprocket) will allow you to choose a language in which the software to
operate:
When you open the Abrites Quick Start you can select the Abrites diagnostics
for Renault/ Dacia Icon:
When you start the Abrites diagnostics for
Renault/ Dacia online you will be able to select the category of a vehicle you
are working with. After that, you can select the model you are working
with.
From this point on you will have all the details of the
car you are working with.
From here you will see the details of the car – the diagnostic protocols it
uses, the VIN of the car, the model, and then the software will automatically
go to the list of modules installed in this particular vehicle.
This is what the module list looks like:
After you see the list of modules you can enter each of
them in order to do diagnostics: Read DTCs, view live data, perform actuator
testing, and so on. You can monitor live values in a graph form (with life
graphics being displayed) or use the table view of the software to monitor as
many parameters as you wish simultaneously:
Special Functions
With the help of the Abrites diagnostics for Renault/ Dacia, you can renew
modules, program keys, exchange cluster calibrations, and many others. Here is
how to do that.
1. Key programming
With the help of the Abrites diagnostics for Renault Dacia and the PROTAG
programmer key programming is a breeze.
- First, make sure to go to the key programming button and read the PIN CODE from the car:
Make sure to save the pin once you read it, this is done using the right-click
and “COPY” function
Make sure your Protag is connected in order to prepare a new card.
You will be able to detect the car and see
the recognition of the transponder or key type in real-time.
For vehicles with a card make sure to have the emblem on the key card facing
the start/stop button.
Repeat the process for the next card.
1.1 Clio V Key programming
In the latest version of the Abrites diagnostics for Renault/Dacia, we have
added support for Renault Clio V, Renault Capture II, and Renault New Zoe key
programming (a working key is required). The procedure is requiring a CB012
cable set(between the AVDI Interface and the CB101 OBDII cable) also in order
to connect to the internal CAN-BUS system of the car.
We recommend a connection either to the Protection and Switching unit – UPC
(1337) or to the Handsfree module under the glove box. Here are some photos
and connection diagrams.
Protection and Switching unit – UPC (1337), connector CT1:
CAN H – pin 17 (white)
CAN L – pin 5 (green)
Hands-free access electric control unit
(2003) on keyless version:
CAN H – pin 6
CAN L – pin 7 2. Renew – used for module replacement
Using Abrites diagnostics for Renault/ Dacia you can replace many modules.
ECUs, UCH, ESLs, etc.
Here is what you need to do, we will use the UCH as an example.
- Make sure you read the PIN code from the car and copy it as we have discussed above.
Go to “Live values and confirm that the module (in this case UCH) is virgin or
not. If it is a virgin – you can adapt it. If it is not a virgin you can renew
it. The blank body computer says NO, meaning that the UCH needs to be
renewed:
From the Renew menu we can select the UCH
type and move forward:
Make sure you have the PIN and VIN
Once you confirm the needed values the UCH is adapted. The procedure is the
same for ECUs.
ESL adaptation
The ESL adaptation procedure is done from the “Renew” special function.
It is not possible to renew the ESL via OBDII, you have to open it and erase
the 24C04 EEPROM and then start the adaptation procedure.
- The models after 2008/2009 require the PIN code for the adaptation. Once the ESL’s EEPROM is erased you can select Renew > ESL > model > click “Adapt”.
Here is a list of the supported ESLs for adaptation:
You could always
use our EM002 ESL plug&play emulator for Renault/Nissan instead. It supports
all ESLs for all Renault/Nissan models. The Abrites EM002 emulator for
Renault/Nissan supports all ESL types (old 6 pins(Renault), new 6
pins(Renault), and 8 pins(Nissan).
OLD type ESL diagram(Renault):
Connection to old ESL :
1 – BLACK (-)
2 – RED(+)
3 – GREEN (CAN H)
4, 5 – NOT USED
6 – BLUE (CAN L)
| NEW type ESL diagram(Renault):Connection to new ESL :
1 – BLACK (-)
2 – RED(+)
3 – GREEN (CAN H)
4 – Connect pin 4 of the ESL to pin 2 of the ESL
through 100 Ohm resistor.
5 – NOT USED
6 – BLUE (CAN L)
---|---
8 pins ESL diagram(Nissan):
Connection to new ESL :
1 – BLACK (-)
2 – RED(+)
3 – GREEN (CAN H)
4, 5, 7 – NOT USED
6 – Connect pin 6 of the ESL to pin 2 of the ESL through a 100 Ohm resistor.
8 – BLUE (CAN L)
Example new type ESL diagram(Renault):
*The white wire is used to update the emulator but at the moment there are no updates available.
The Abrites EM010 and EM011 emulators for Renault/Nissan allow customers
to simply remove the connector from the faulty ESL and plug it in to the
emulator. A plug-and-play solution, no software required.
Programming
This special function allows you to read and write the Flash and/or the
ConfData of different modules such as ABS, Instrument panel, Hands-Free unit,
and UCH.
It is used for restoring modules and direct exchange of modules by
transferring the EEPROM (and FLASH for Instrument panel for example) from the
original unit to the other one.
RESTORING OF UNITS: Whenever the software reads the UCH’s flash for
example a copy of the Flash is saved in the folder containing the log files of
your Interface. Should the re-flashing procedure fail you can always use that
file to restore the unit.
-
VIN exchange
In some cases, you may need to update the VIN number in some modules. When you open the list of VINs you will be able to select the VIN and enter a new value to match the car. Then simply save the changes and you are done.
-
Other module exchange types. ABS etc.
There is a different adaptation method for these modules. The procedures are mostly intuitive but you need to follow these guidelines:
Select the ABS type, read the Conf Data (EEPROM), save it
to a file, and replace it with the donor ABS
Other special functions
With the help of Abrites diagnostics for Renault/ Dacia, you can perform many other functions. Here are just some of them:
-
PDF regeneration
Please make sure that the conditions are correct. -
Injector calibration
-
Airbag clear crash data via OBDII
The procedure is done from the “Renew” special function via OBDII followed by the “Clear crash” option.
Here is a list of all supported units:
