Reading Engine Diagnostic Codes
This article explains how to access the built-in diagnostic check on the Mk2 Clio.
Starting Diagnostic Mode
With the ignition off, press and hold the button at the end of the wiper stalk, then turn the ignition on. All the dashboard warning lights will come on, and the speedo and rev counter will go through a predefined 'dancing' sequence. Once in this diagnostic mode, pressing the stalk button will cycle you through the various bits of diagnostic information on the digital read-out.
Diagnostic Information
The following details will be displayed as you cycle through using the wiper stalk button.
NB: If no faults are logged, then dashes will be displayed. Also note that no other faults are displayed.
Clearing And Ending Diagnostic Mode
To clear faults, press the reset button to clear the logged faults. To exit diagnostic mode, turn the engine off or move the key to the off position.

Diagnostic Information
The following details will be displayed as you cycle through using the wiper stalk button.
- All the lights lit (shows if you have a failed LED).
- The amount of fuel left in the tank in liters.
- Fuel flow (the engine has to be running. This is in liters per hour).
- Stored faults:
- t - An injection fault has been detected for a minimum of 4 seconds.
- J - A fault has been noted on the fuel gauge. It must have disconnected for longer than 100 seconds. The resistance from the fuel tank sensor needs to be between 5 and 350 Ohms.
- d - An injection signal fault has been detected.
- h - An oil level sensor fault has been detected. Resistance from the sensor should be between 6 and 20 Ohms. Any reading over 20 Ohms is an open circuit; anything under 3 Ohms is a short circuit.
NB: If no faults are logged, then dashes will be displayed. Also note that no other faults are displayed.
Clearing And Ending Diagnostic Mode
To clear faults, press the reset button to clear the logged faults. To exit diagnostic mode, turn the engine off or move the key to the off position.
