Update from renault 3 things in the system the ecu bll?and dashbord one of theses isnt talking tothe other cause an in-active imobilizer if it the imobilizer can i send it to one of these places to have the code ripped out if that is the fault?

From what you say, it could simply be wiring, but it could also be a more serious problem like a module which is not working any more.

No I don't think that the oil level light would stop the engine from running - at least not from cranking. The solution to that would be to remove the connector to the oil level sensor as it should really be able to run without it.

I bought my Espace as a crash write-off and had it rebuilt. When it was ready to run it had to go to Renault to figure out why it wouldn't start.

It turned out to be a problem with the windscreen wiper circuit, so although the oil warning system seems a bit unlikely I wouldn't discount it yet! 

I wonder if the system detects any unusual power demand before allowing start to take place?

Take a look at the section covering the immobilizer in the extract from the Renault service manual that can be found in Lennart's "Vault"

http://www.matrasport.dk/vault/Espace/JE/3441A.pdf

It provides plenty of information about re-programming etc.

right lads ive been speaking to a fella that said if im getting coms to and from the ecu that it s not that and that he has had to change in the past 5 ecn wiring looms he said people adjust the sterring height and the loom is so short that it buggers it up so if i refitthe loom under colum more than likely this is the fault,does this seem feesable to you guys?

ok hi all i need a bii unit made by sagem part no.6025371152

What is a "bii unit"?

Is that the computer in the passenger compartment?

P/n sounds like a Renault p/n, though one of those specific to the Espace.

[homersnitemare]

yes the part has either been changed or corupted by some idiot,so now renault connont reconfigure anything,there price £340+vat for part alone,the part is the interface between imobilizer and ecu and solinoids ect ect

[homersnitemare]

[homersnitemare]
