Renault Trafic or Vivaro Injector Warning light and spanner fix

[@lauriestlyon8773]

Found on another channel(Cannot remember what) if like me you had "Injection Fault" and "Check emmisions" signs simply start the engine and unplug the MAF sensor. If it is OK the engine will stop. If it is bad then the engine will continue to run. Changed mine (thanks to Dads Garage) and used ODB hand rig (cheap off ebay)to clear faults. No issues so far! Still get about 20 secs of beeping on start up but no lights or messages! But I do not think it is connected.

legend was a fraid to drive until i seen your video

[@patrickcrosby3270]

That's the dpf pressure sensor hose, there's another at the back of the dpf. Brings up injector fault when split. Common fault on Renault 1.5 diesel engines in Nissan juke, Renault kangoo, Mercedes citan to name a few.

[@tomsurrey2252]

Well done... my son has the same problem, many THANKS!

[@garageofdad]

That's great 👍

[@sammir8832]

please can you let me know your tester make and model. many thanks

Looks like carly

Spot on mate thanks for making this video

[@Enduro262]

Cheers had this problem twice. I would say the tube lasts about 75k miles 😂🤙

[@garageofdad]

A simple fix really after the initial panic of seeing the warning light!

[@Bobbymoore-cz4te]

Where did you get the code reader from any advice thanks

[@user-kv8tq6ch3b]

Excellent thank

[@garageofdad]

Thank you :)

[@ourfrugallife]

I've had this fault on my van for about 3 years. I clear the fault with the obd scanner but now know what's causing it, exactly the same code. I have to sort out the egr too, not looking forward to that.

[@gw2031]

What symptoms tell you your egr needs attention? Thanks George

[@bertybone]

On my 2014 vivaro when cheak injection light comes on. It has always been blocked particulate filter.

[@ufodroneguy6614]

Thank u

[@nicholaslowe2664]

What was the code reader you used ? Thanks

[@ourfrugallife]

Did you find out where the tube went, what it does. Massive hole in mine too.

[@garageofdad]

It attaches to a pressure sensor on the exhaust at the rear of the engine. I just cut mine and inserted a joining piece which was fine.

[@gw2031]

​@@garageofdad did you notice exhaust fumes / stink when this pipe is split ? Thanks

[@garageofdad]

@@gw2031 No that was the problem, there was no sign of anything. I was given a tip off from an Ex Vauxhall mechanic

[@stachostacja]

Help a lot thanks mate save a lot off money

[@garageofdad]

That's good thanks

[@SeanMoorey-w8u]

Hi mate what obd scanner did you use for this please.

[@deangoodwin6586]

brilliant thanks

[@ifonly.4063]

0:44 I have lots of Air bubbles running down this tube constantly, tons of small and a few big ones. What does this mean ? Please Help 🙏

[@garageofdad]

The rubber hand pump may have a leak or the filter bowl seal may need tightening also check the fuel pipe clamps are ok. Does the van run ok?

[@ifonly.4063]

@@garageofdad Van seems to be running ok at the moment. No leaks in hand pump, very frustrating! Thanks for feedback!

[@GW-kg3dc]

I believe there are 2 non return valves inside these bulbs so you dont have to see a leak for it to be faulty

[@gw2031]

Hi mate ,can you help ,i have the same problem ,,is the pipe you showed us a pipe other than the 2 pipes that run from the filter back to the tank .ie not a fuel pipe ?mines is a 2012 2 ltr 115 bhp,thanks George

[@georgestone8099]

Mine has two little splits in it, and is giving same error. I've taped it up for now, and will clear the error when my ODB2 thingy arrives. Does anyone know what size the pipe is to replace?

[@marcoslee50]

Nice one thank you for replying 👍

[@sprintdevil]

Hi What is the make of this fault reader as I have the same problems same van... 😊

[@gw2031]

Did you have s stink of diesel / exhausr fumes when the pipe was split mate ,?

[@garageofdad]

No not a thing.

[@gw2031]

Thanks,back to the drawing board ,,mines has white reek for 2 minutes and stinks of diesel/ exhaust then clears till it sits overnight again ,,some guy on the renault forum thinks an injector is dripping fuel into the chamber and its un ignited fuel burning off ? The joys lol thanks anyways ,great channel !

[@garageofdad]

@@gw2031 Could also be faulty glow plugs especially if it turns over a bit on starting?

What is that diagnostic plug in programme you using? I need one lol

[@garageofdad]

[@Cubrider]

What symptoms did you have? I have 2.0lt vivaro 2010 and it seems to have a tiny miss fire then the glow plug and spanner light come on and it runs fine for about 30seconds then the lights go off and it's missing again all be it very subtle then lights again and so on. Light usually come on after about 2000 revs any ideas? Oh and no codes showing as when it's idling or just ignition lights then the fault isn't showing

[@jersey2841]

whats the scan tool u use please

[@garageofdad]

Tool:- www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373217391368 Then downloaded 'Car Scanner' App onto my iPad

[@phillipstott5213]

Can you please give me a link to the diagnostic tool you have used on your video, phil

[@mycolliesandme268]

In my Renault traffic van, the stop light comes on when going down hill or go over bumps. Doesn't happen on the level and goes off when i get on the level. Doesn't happen going up hill. Any ideas please m8 ?

[@adamprice9214]

Fluid level maybe oil? It shows you on the dash oil level on start up

[@Mr.Deep.photoholic]

Brakes - I had the same problem. Change your discs and pads and should be ok

[@mycolliesandme268]

It was a leaking brake pipe,it was coroded,I realized the brake fluid level was low, I topped it up and it stopped happening for a couple of days, but then started again. And then my brakes went. Lucky I managed to reduce speed into a layby and stop with handbrake. The brake pipe had totally bust and the fluid emptied out.

[@martyntodd8637]

My vivaro has just started only going to about 3000 rpm almost like it’s in limp mode any ideas!?

[@garageofdad]

Mine eventually done that after turning the eml light off a few times so had to sort the problem. Get a code reader on it, hopefully it'll show up something.

[@ryanm1407]

Wonder if you could help, Im trying to diagnose a Nissan Primastar ABS fault, does that code reader your using read ABS faults. Thanks

[@garageofdad]

It'll point to which wheel the fault will be at You'll then have to investigate to see if it's a faulty sensor, broken sensor ring or wheel bearing etc. In my case in a previous video it was a broken sensor ring.

[@ryanm1407]

thanks for your help, much appreciated

[@sawekp8961]

Super film ,malo rozumie szkoda ze to nie jest po polsku ,gdzie moge kupic taki tester ,podaj mi numer ,pozdrawiam

[@patrickpirelli7897]

Hia mate my vans coming up with the same fault and it's gone into limp mode, is there a way of getting it out of limp mode

[@garageofdad]

If it's the same problem, you should be able to turn the light off and continue. But you'll have to fix the problem as it'll come back on again. I left mine for a while and it went into limp mode, that's why I decided to fix it.

[@patrickpirelli7897]

@@garageofdad the problem with my van was the turbo boost pressure sensor but we fitted an aftermarket one that only cost £16 and it did fix the problem I've got all the vans power back, trouble is we can't remove the engine warning light as the cheap sensor does not have the same software as the original one so don't know what to do now. I know I'me not paying £182.00 for an original one

[@adamprice9214]

​@patrickpirelli7897 get a 2nd hand one either ebay or a car parts yard like silverlake

i melt new plastic onto split pipes, then tape..

Hi My renault trafic 2.0 dci Drive in safe mode Now it appears that the injector codes are not in the ecu, it says aaaa I can't enter the codes, what could that be??? Grusse koen

[@carpfever683]

The glow plug and the SERV lamp are always on in the dashboard It runs fine for 2 minutes and then goes into safe mode Grt koen

[@garageofdad]

To enter injector codes in, you'll need an advanced diagnostic tool or someone who has one. It's not something I have done in the past unfortunately.

[@sggr7708]

can you write down the 2 sensors name ? I can't understand your slang ,, unfortunately ,, thanks a lot ,,, which sensors ???

[@garageofdad]

😄 An exhaust pressure sensor at the rear of the dpf. The problem was a burst rubber pipe coming off the sensor.

[@TristanMedlicott]

What year is this mate? Mines a 2012 in Australia and got check injection and check emissions light on and keeps going into limp mode but looks different underneath and can’t find the hose 😐

[@garageofdad]

Mine's a 2012 2.0 DCi The hose is right up tight after the dpf just behind the engine on a long thing pipe. Yours may have different emissions regs being in Australia. Also check for any leaks/splits in the intake side.
