Hallo Members,
I wonder If anyone could help with a good description how the Stability Controll System on the 2016 Kangoo Maxi works.
ABS , Stability Contoll , Hill Holder are all linked and function by a complex system of ABS Module, Wheel speed sensors , Steering wheel directional sensor , hydraulic pump and valves....
With the Kangoo the ESC is permanent , cannot be switched off , as on some vehicles.
When an fault occours on ABS or ESC both alarm light in the dash (intrument ) come on, because the systems work together.
( also the alarm light " the spanner" comes on .... telling you " go to a service centre " )
I have had an ABS problem for months , two Renault Service Centres struggled to fix it, changing twice the rear speed sensors , then the ABS module... ( Spare part delivery was a nightmare .... each taking 5 weeks )

Now it all seems to work again ( Hill Holder, Traction Controll, the up/ down gear shift info in the instrument, ABS...well , have not slammed the brakes jet. )
However ,only 50 km after the Module exchange ,on one occation , going with the left wheels over those little "wake up " speed humps by the side off the road , the lights came on again. Stopping the car , switching engine off/ on did not help.... Driving from Sydney to Katoomba and parking the car , restarting after about an hour..... and everything ok again... all alarm light off , all function ok.
Did not happen again over the last 5 days.
MY question is : ESC ...Some Google Info states that if the car is about to loose controll ,and the System is trying to adjust, meaning engaging ... then the ESC light in the instrument will flash..... and a certain time will elaps before the light goes off again.. ( meaning disengage )...
Can anyone comment on this..?
I assume that in my case , Light ( that means Lights ESC, ABS , Spanner) being solid on after the vibration of the side line humps, and staying on for 100 km and more than one hour ( functions out ), could most likely not be explained by the above sayed. Would have been again a fault of ABS or ESC ?????
Has been working since without fault... ( 5 days ).
Thank You for Your input...
Best Regards , save journey
