Seeking Advice on Troubleshooting Check Engine Light and Fault Message on 2023 Renault Arkana

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Fault stored

Check engine light on

Hey folks, I've got a bit of a tricky one with my 2023 Renault Arkana with a gasoline engine. Lately, it's been acting up and flashing some worrying signs such as the check engine light coming on and a warning light in the speedometer, plus a fault message. My hunch is that the issue might be linked to a faulty tank flap unlock mechanism, but I'd appreciate your thoughts and experiences on this. Have any of you dealt with similar problems in the past? Any insights into how you got it sorted at your workshop, and what should I expect in terms of troubleshooting process? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey there, had a similar issue with my 2021 Renault Captur, almost identical circumstance. I'm not a car guru but do have some experience messing around with stuff. Turned out to be a faulty linkage in my case. After a good rummage in the workshop, I managed to replace the defective part - cost about 210 euro, bother! In order to help further, I'd need more details about your vehicle (model specifics, mileage, etc.). It's possible that it's the same issue, but comparing more details might clarify the situation. Cheers!

Thanks, appreciate the input. My Arkana has covered a distance of about 51599 km till now, and well, the latest service was done a couple of months back. Couldn't really figure it might be linked to the tank flap then, you know how these things are - they pop up when you least expect 'em! But your experience definitely gives me a better direction to dig into. Hoping it won't burn a bigger hole in my pocket though, fingers crossed!

Hey again! Your case sounds all too familiar. Wan't even surprised when my engine light popped up outta nowhere. But hey, that's cars for ya, right? Given your Arkana's mileage and service history, it wouldn't be a far stretch to suspect the tank flap might be the issue. In my case, I noticed the problem after some similar symptoms. Never thought much about the tank flap itself before the fault came up though. If you're handy, you could try to do some preliminary checks yourself. Look for some unusual looseness or maybe some warning signs around the tank flap. It's tricky but knowing your way around a toolbox does come in useful at times. If it's proving to be a real head-scratcher, wouldn't hurt to get a pro to take a peek. Good luck, hope it doesn't end up being too pricy on your end! Stay safe!

Aye, you got that right! Cars do spring up with surprises. I'll definitely try to have a good poke around the tank flap soon as weather permits. Who knows, might be I spot some anomaly. And yeah, if worse comes to worst, I'll definitely call in a pro. Can't be taking chances with safety after all. Thanks a bunch for sharing your wisdom. Guess it's always the unexpected parts causing the chaos! Brilliant advice, cheers! Be safe too!
