Problem with engine power and ABS system in Renault Scenic 2006 - looking for solutions

Loss of engine power

Loss of traction

ABS/DSC system is not working

ABS warning light

Hi guys, I have a strange problem with my Renault Scenic, year 2006, diesel. I notice a loss of engine power, the ABS warning light is on, I'm losing traction and the ABS system doesn't seem to be working. I suspect it has something to do with the supply voltage to the speed sensor (ABS), but I'm not sure. Have any of you had similar experiences or any tips on how to solve the problem? How did your garage solve the problem? I look forward to hearing your experiences and advice.

Hi buddy, I had a similar problem with my 2004 Renault Megane, also a diesel. I'm no expert, but I know a bit about it as a car enthusiast. I took it to my garage and we changed the ABS control unit. This was because the control unit was faulty. It cost me about 100 euros. I haven't had any problems since the repair. The source of the problem could be similar for you. Can you tell me more about your car? Maybe we could narrow down the problem further. Write back soon!

Hey, thanks for the tip about the control unit. That is a possibility that I will consider. I can say about my Scenic that it has run 24744 km so far and the last service was a while ago. Maybe it's time to have a specialist look over it again. I'll probably have to take it to the garage. Thanks again for the advice!

Hey, no problem! It definitely sounds like an inspection couldn't hurt, especially if it's been a while. The mileage doesn't seem particularly high, but the electronics can still develop some quirks over time. Also see if you can find any corrosion around the wheel sensors or the ABS control unit. Salt and moisture can sometimes lead to contact corrosion that causes such problems. This could also affect the function of the speed sensor. Hope this helps. Let me know what the workshop says!

Hi, thanks again for the other tips. I will definitely look out for corrosion and then see what the workshop has to say. I hope the problem will be solved soon. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. See you then!
