Reads and clears fault codes (DTCs), including proprietary Renault-specific codes.
Automatically detects all ECUs in the vehicle, reads vehicle VIN, and scans for fault codes (DTCs).
CAN CLIP is a powerful piece of software that, unlike basic generic scanners, can dig deep into all vehicle systems—including engine, ABS, airbags, automatic transmission, UCH (interior control unit), and more.

The software executes an automated computer test across every active subsystem simultaneously. Instead of displaying an unstructured text list of errors, v.116 maps out the physical network architecture of the vehicle. This helps isolate whether a fault code stems from a dead sensor or a physical break in the multiplex wiring loom. Dynamic Live Data Streams
The hardware firmware on your interface is too old. You need to update the firmware on the CAN CLIP box itself using a dedicated updater tool (often found on the v.116 DVD under Tools/Firmware ).
Buy a dedicated, offline laptop for your v.116 installation. Never connect that laptop to the internet. It will serve you faithfully for the next decade of Renault ownership.
