The Mégane II Owners' Club

My Megane II do not start at all. Engine rotating but message Injection falut and STOP appear after some time.
I try to check it by diagnostic equipment but engine CPU is switched on for the start only. When I stop starting then board lights and engine CPU stop too. Is there any possibility to power on engine without real start procedure to check fault code by diagnostic? Diagnostic equipment worked on this car without problem but with running engine.
Thanks

Try putting key card in and NOT putting foot on brake an clutch see if that works

I am afraid not. It start clima, doors etc. but dashboard and engine controller is still down.

put card in, do not press brake or clutch & than hold start button for a few seconds & the ignition should turn on.

if not check the battery is fully charged,

Ok I will try.
Thank you very much

I suppose as an extreme measure, you could switch on the ignition as noted, then bump start it in 2nd gear.

You should however, bear in mind that the stop lamp is illuminated for a reason. The probable fault is with either the cam position sensor or the crank shaft position sensor. I forget which is required for starting.

Renault dealer method:

with the engine turned off engage 1st gear, insert your card on the slot then press the brake pedal with the gear engaged. All illuminated on the dash just like the car is going to start up, but it wont.
