List of Renault Fault Codes (DF) – Complete Guide

Posted by

1. Introduction

DF (Manufacturer Defect) codes are specific to Renault vehicles. They help identify technical anomalies using diagnostic tools like the CanClip diagnostic tool.


2. Structure of DF Codes

Format Example Meaning
DFXXX DF025 Unique code with 3 digits
DFXXXX DF1001 Extended code for recent models

Severity Icon Legend:

  • 🟢 Low : Minor issue, can be postponed.
  • 🟠 Medium : Serious problem, but the vehicle can still be driven
  • 🔴 High : Critical issue requiring immediate intervention.
