Symptoms with Renault Error code DF002

The main symptoms associated with this error code are failure to control the throttle valve and injectors. This can result in the car going into limp mode, little to no response to the accelerator pedal (above a certain speed), or even the car not starting. As a result, the check engine light may come on. Error code DF002 is often seen in combination with Renault error codes DF058 (lambda probe) and DF254 (throttle valve).

Advice for solving this error code

First perform the basic tests to check that the wiring, connectors, etc. are in order. Also check that the problem is not caused by a defect in the throttle body. If everything seems fine, there is a good chance that the problem is caused by a faulty ECU, in this case specifically the Siemens Sirius 34 ECU. This ECU can cause various malfunctions, about which you can find more information on the Sirius 34 ECU product page. Because we remanufacture original parts, there is no problem with availability, unlike new parts that are phased out. Additional advantage: this means that re-learning is not necessary. Our product specialists carry out extensive testing and overhaul the part if the defect is found. Finally, the operation of the part is simulated in a test setup to guarantee a good end result (so you benefit from a 2-year warranty).
