Seeking Advice on Fixing Flickering Lights and Warning Light Issue in 2019 Renault Arkana

Hey folks, I've got a bit of a head-scratcher with my 2019 Renault Arkana with a gasoline engine. It's not acting normal lately with dim or even flickering lights and some weird warning light showing up on the speedometer. I'm suspecting that the built-in software might be playing up. Have any of you faced similar issues and got it fixed through the workshop? Could really use your insights to understand and troubleshoot this better. Cheers!

Hey there, had a similar situation with my 2017 Renault Kadjar a while back. I'm not a car guru, but got my hands dirty a few times. So, the problem in my case was a bad engine control unit. It had to be replaced and programmed specifically for my vehicle. The total cost was a little above 200 euro. You might want to check that. The issue can be a bit complex, can you tell me more about your car's mileage and service history? That could probably give me a better understanding. Cheers!

Thanks! That sounds like a pretty good lead. My Arkana has clocked 150,518 km to date. I've been pretty good with regular service and the latest one was just a couple of weeks ago at a local Renault workshop. They didn't mention any problems, so this has been a bit of a surprise. Will look into the engine control unit issue. Cheers!

Hey again, glad I could help! Given your Arkana's mileage and recent service, it does sound like my initial hunch could be on the right track. Also, the fact that you went for a recent service and didn't have this issue pointed out tells me it might be something more substantial than a simple software problem or lighting issue. If I were you, I'd definitely pay a visit to the workshop for them to do a detailed check on your engine control unit as well as other related components. It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it's about your ride! Don't forget to update us after you've figured it out. Drive safe!

You're a lifesaver! I'll definitely swing by the workshop for a detailed check on the engine control unit and related components. It's like you said, better safe than sorry. I'll certainly keep you updated once I figure out what this bugger is up to. Really appreciate your help on this. Drive safe too! Cheers!
