Renault Clio: Solenoid valves: Removal - Refitting
K9K, and JA5

REMOVAL
I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION
Note:
Before removing the solenoid valves, always
mark their respective connectors in order not to
mix them up.
IMPORTANT
Before any operation on the sequential system,
discharge the accumulator using the Diagnostic
tool.
- To discharge the accumulator, run command
" Discharge pressure accumulator " AC081.
To confirm the pressure drop, read the " Hydraulic
pressure " parameter for the resulting value.
If there is still pressure in the accumulator, re-run the
" Discharge pressure accumulator " command until
the pressure is negligible and will not pose a risk
when the high pressure pipes are removed.
The pressure reading must be close to zero.
- Position the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) (MR 392, 02A, Lifting equipment).
- Remove the actuator module (see 21B, Sequential
gearbox, Actuator module: Removal - Refitting, 21B-34).
II - OPERATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART
CONCERNED

- Remove:
- the bracket bolts on the actuator module (1),
- the actuator module bracket (2).

- Remove the solenoid valve affected, following the
correct removal order for the solenoid valves:
- Clutch solenoid valve
- Selection solenoid valve 4
- Selection solenoid valve 3
- Engagement solenoid valve 1
Note:
Remove engagement solenoid valve 2 (5) independently
of the other solenoid valves.
REFITTING
I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION
- Refit the actuator module (see 21B, Sequential
gearbox, Actuator module: Removal - Refitting, 21B-34).
II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED
- Refit:
- the solenoid valve affected,
- the bolts from the solenoid valve,
- the actuator module bracket.
- Tighten to torque:
- the solenoid valve bolts (4 N.m),
- the bracket bolts on the actuator module (4
N.m).
III - FINAL OPERATION
- Perform the following operations:
- bleed the clutch circuit (see 21B, Sequential gearbox,
Sequential gearbox: Bleeding, 21B-
84)
- the necessary programming (see Fault finding -
Replacement of components (MR 394, 21B, Sequential
gearbox).
WARNING
After the accumulator has been fully filled (15
seconds after the ignition has been switched on):
the oil is at the MIN mark.

This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emergency
braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger
ABS regulation.
