I hope this comment helps, the clutch pedal position sensor as shown in this video is reset in this way and the video is correct. But what the video doesn't show is that the clutch pedal position sensor should have a plastic arm that attaches to the clutch pedal. This allows it to know where the clutch pedal is to allow the parking brake to release automatically when moving away. So in short a new clutch pedal position sensor (£100 approximately) is required to keep the warning light off and resume normal operation. Hope that helps .
It really does help, mine was completely broken. Once I'd purchased a new from from Renault (it's a Renault only part apparently) I compared the old & the new,the new looked much different.
I had to press down the clutch and kind of push the stick back in under the clutch pedal lever thing. Legend thanks a million, saved me €€€ in mechanic .
That slider is for uphill assistance and automatic parking brake. Something is broken or you have missing part on that sensor. That little plastic should move with clutch pedal.
What! I did not know that it auto released!!! I have been leaning forward all the time to push the parking brake switch down to release the brake. The problem I have is that when I pull the parking brake lever up after putting my foot on the brake the little light on the lever flashes and then I get the 'check parking brake' sign with the orange spanner light! It clears it's self after opening the door and turning the engine on and off and removing the key fob! It's such a faf!!!
do you have any idea if this trick also works for a Renault Megane 3 2011 .. I mention that my brake is locked because it is electronic or if there is something that releases the brake manually
@@viewfromthecab8075 it would cost something, a platform where I paid 100 euros and the total was somewhere around 500 euros, discs changed ... I solved it. This is the reason why I love the Renault group. Sorry for may bad english .
Does the handbrake automatically come on when coming to a stop at lights for an example or does it only work when pulling off? I’m new to the mk3 scenic
I don't know I'm afraid,if I recall I had to do it a couple of times to clear the ghastly orange spanner. My next job on my Scenic is link arms & anti roll bar bushes,she's going to a garage for that though.
I have done that at the beginning when I have the same issue and it worked a few times but now it doesn’t do it anymore and the light is on all the time now, I hate it, anymore ideas to get rid of that orange spanner light, I slide that lever down a few times but the light doesn’t go out. Grrrr.
@@viewfromthecab8075 Hi .. our car is Renault scenic .. not the Grand Scenic ... Sadly no switch to flip to reset the error 😣 such an annoying fault .. been to garage 3 times .. the say no issue with break .. just a sensor. They clear fault .. drive for a bit .. error comes back !
Hello,sorry for the very late reply,UA-cam decided not to tell me you had commented. I don't know about the auto but it wouldn't have a clutch pedal anyway.
I ve just had this problem after having a new clutch and slave cylinder I drove if from the garage then did about a thirty mile round trip parked up when I got in my car to drive away I rely on just pulling away and it was how do I discribe stuck in parking brake It eventually moved forward with rubber smell and was ok til I picked up the missus then a sign popped up as your discribing I took the car back to the garage there looking at it I wish I d seen this video before are you a mechanic or just keen on cars
Strange thing I have a mate in the trade but he lives too far away to take it to him so I m stuck with a company who sold me it three years ago been buying cars from them twenty yet still not sure I have mates who ve bought from there too who don't trust them and I like the guys but I don't drive like a nutter and nearly two years of lockdown they put it on the computer to see what was up ten faults popped up I said you sold me the car with that he saidd that's cars for you
Ours is sticking on on one side Thai switch on mine is connected to the clutch on that silver but that sticks out your switch hasn’t got the yellow part on like mine strange maybe yours needs sliding onto the silver part to stop it sticking in
hi mark. i have 2010 scenic (big problems with parking brake). did you manage to do this manipulation ? on my car this looks slightly different, there is another yellow plastic element holding the front white bar. i cant find the lever as in the video.
@@mosfilo99 it's supposed to be attached to the clutch pedal but mine was broken then the switch itself failed. I ended up buying a new clutch pedal sensor switch from Renault.
I didn't manage to fix it myself, I had to take it to a garage that plugged it into a diagnostic machine....about 8 faults just on the parking break. Seems like a common problem.
warning light comes back after a while, sensir need to be changed, that one in the video its broken but, the gentleman, doesn't said so. Thanks anyway mate👍
Yeh I text a few weeks ago having this problem just after having a new clutch and slave cylinder on my scenic problem was I didn't see your video til after I retook my car to the sharks I mean garage anyhow I didn't manage to dO it myself due to it being at the garage so they would look at your video telling them how to suck eggs anyhow if anyone else is having this done my garage charged me £160 for this so called repair as I d only just had the clutch and slave cylinder done the day before
This isn’t exactly correct. Yours is actually broken. There is supposed to be a little black and yellow bracket attached to that. Mine broke and the parking brake message continuously popped up. I had to superglue this tiny piece back on as it’s a lot more important than it looks.
Unfortunately, this gentleman literally has no idea what he is doing. Even he says he doesn't know what he's doing, but he does it that way and it supposedly worked. This is a broken clutch switch. Shit

😂why on video still shows that parking break is applied?😂😂😂 I tried on friend car, didn't release it
I had to press down the clutch and kind of push the stick back in under the clutch pedal lever thing. Legend thanks a million, saved me €€€ in mechanic .
No worries, anything to save some cash at the garage
Thank you so much. Worked first time and hasn't returned. Only video I've found woth the correct fix
Glad I could help
Fantastic. I'll try that tomorrow on my Laguna. I've just replaced the clutch, and this now makes sense. Happy New Year.
I hope it works for you, happy new year to you too.
Amazing this simple fix the car service Center guys don’t know , thanks a ton for This video 👌👌👌🎉🎉
I'm glad it helped.
Thanks buddy, this was a lifesaver today.
Glad it helped
We've been struggling with this for 3 years and we were about to pay to "fix this" thank you I owe you a beer :)
It worked for me for a while but my switch completely broke & I had to buy a new one,I'm glad it helped you.

An aging stop start battery was the cause of the message on my 2016 1.5 dci. Scenic. New battery and an O B D reset now all good.
That's good to hear, there's simply too many computers & gizmos on modern cars, a real pain in the neck.
Thank you. It was bothering me for a long time. Just I’ve fixed it as you recommend
Glad it helped

Thank you I had same Problem with my scenic :) I will check That switch
Once again UA-cam is Johnny On The Spot with the notifications. Did it work for your Scenic?
Great problem solver, works perfectly, thank you very much

I'm really glad it helped.
That slider is for uphill assistance and automatic parking brake. Something is broken or you have missing part on that sensor. That little plastic should move with clutch pedal.
Yeah, the plastic attachment might as well be made of cling film it's that flimsy
This saved my sanity,thanks mate 🤣

These modern cars want to do too much thinking,that's the real problem.

I think you can unlock the brakes but it's a bit of pain as I understand it, maybe best to seek help from a mechanic or somebody with experience.
@@viewfromthecab8075 it's complicated if you don't have tools. I solved the problem of a burnt engine. Thanks for the answer and the advice

I'm glad it helped, the new switches are super expensive.
Does the handbrake automatically come on when coming to a stop at lights for an example or does it only work when pulling off? I’m new to the mk3 scenic
Mine only comes on when I turn the engine off or apply it manually, the Mk3 Scenic is a fantastic car, I'm sure you won't be disaapointed.
Are those Kestrel Patrol boots that you are wearing?
Is this similar to dtc41200 Renault master check hill start assist. Can't get to the bottom of it
Modern cars are a pain in the neck aren't they.
Yes it did work the you mate. I bless God for you. This video helped me solved it issue. Thank you God and stay bless.
Glad it helped
Thats far more advanced then the 2004 grand scenic that I used to have. The biggest issue that I used to have was the Ignition coils keep breaking..
The more bells & whistles it has the more can go wrong.
Bring back the ease of the Ford escort.. no complex electronics or on board computer...
@@andyclarke7265 A 10mm/13mm combi spanner & you were good to go.
How's it going mate, this worked perfectly to get my brake working again but didn't clear the message any idea how to clear the message?

Fantastic..thank you fixed mine straight away..that would have been £100 job at rip off garages👍😊
£100 easily mate, glad it helped.
I have the same message but my car is automatic so no clutch any help would be appreciated thanks
I don't know about the auto version I'm afraid,wasn't much help there was I.
Hi
I’m trying to locate the relay for the windscreen wiper motors?? Do you know which ones they are please and where are they 🙈
Until it breaks I don't go digging I'm afraid. I hope you track it down.

You'll probably have to buy a new switch like I had to in the end. Mine cost around £80 from Renault.
Hi .. does the engine have to be off or on when resetting the switch please ?... thanks in advance for your help !
I don't think so,I did mine with just the ignition on as I recall.

That really sucks,I had to send mine back to Renault for a new ECU (a parking brake/caliper issue) to the tune of £500. That really hurt.
Do you know if this is the case for all Renault grand scenics? I have check parking break light and can’t find the reset piece. 🤦🏻♀️
I actually think we have the part that’s attached to it. 😂
I don't really know tbh. Maybe your entire switch needs to be replaced? There's not much inside them.
Hi there, got the same error 2015 Renault Scenic 3, 1.5 dci but it's automatic, for EU market, and this grey lever is nowhere to be found.
Hello,sorry for the very late reply,UA-cam decided not to tell me you had commented. I don't know about the auto but it wouldn't have a clutch pedal anyway.
Did you find a fix? I have the same problem in my automatic scenic 2014

Not a mechanic just very tight fisted. Lol. Anything to save some money. I hope your car gets sorted as cheaply as possible.
Yeh clutch and slave cylinder just over a grand then I showed me your quick fix they didn't entertain it I wish I d seen your fix earlier
I always go for the cheapskate option first,spending money brings me out in a rash.
Me too then all of a sudden saving for a holiday gone on what could have been a great holiday for the same cost

I have reset but after half hour sign came back again can you tell why its back again after reset?
I'm afraid I don't know.
Mine has like a yellow clip over it and won't allow me to push the lever down. Any ideas? 😢
I don't have any ideas apart from be careful,the plastic on those switches is very fragile/flimsy/weak.
It works for me briefly but then switches back to manual. Will have to look further into it.
Maybe a new switch is the answer?
@@viewfromthecab8075 What switch would be needed ? I've got same issue. Thanks.
@@winbig1 I believe it's called the clutch pedal sensor switch.
Do you have any solution for an automatic scenic?
I'm afraid not, sorry.

Mine was actually broken comparing it to the new switch
well sorry but that did not release my brake but thanks for the info that there is a switch there
Sounds like you may need to take it to a mechanic.
Will this irk on a 2012 grand sceniv
It may do, try it & see.
I wonder what it's like to have a vehicle that doesn't develop any quirks during the time you own it?
Lol. I really wouldn't know, it's never happened to me. Lol.
Is it the yellow one??
Check the video I made of me replacing the switch,hopefully it'll help.

That lever is supposed to be connected to that little bar mate
It's a fiddly little job isn't it.
is it the same for a mk 2 petrol?
I don't know, the best thing would be to climb under the dash & have a look.
Sorted mine thank you 🙏 😊
No problem 👍
Thank's a lot mate, you just save me to spend time and money to the garage! Cheers!🫡
No problem 👍

You might have to bite the bullet & buy a new switch?
Hi would it be the same place with automatic version?
I really don't know,best to just get your head under the dashboard and have a look.
I couldn't find the slider 😢
Maybe it broke off?
What about an Automatic
I don't think an auto would have the same switch,there may be a different problem on an auto?
