c'mon BSI reset tried (and failed)

[FarmerPug]

i know of a place that can correct the mileage of a 406, though knowing they can correct a mileage, how do you know if a 406s mileometer thing cant be clocked?

[steve_earwig]

You don't.

I have loctaed a second hand ECU, BSI, ignition ring and chips for £125. Is it as simple as just swapping all of the parts over and my millage will show whatever is stored in the secondhand BSI?

Also, is it easy enough to get the mileage corrected? I guess you have to send off both the BSI and dash as there is memory in both?

Worse, the BSI will add the two mileages together I'm not sure if someone with the Peugeot Planet software would be able to do this (guys?) or if you'll need to go to Peugeot for it. I don't know what's involved in reprogramming the BSI either, would BBA not be able to do this? If not, what are you paying them for again?

i certainly dont see these options on my bsi, but heres people who can correct a peugeots mileage:

Don't take this as gospel, but AFAIK you can't change it with PP2000, (which makes me think Peugeot can't either - they don't care, they'll just sell you a new clock, BSI, or both.)
You can change some BSI settings, but I think some are 'write once', which is why BBA refer to 'virginised'

No revs, 0000000 mileage, no speedo,

[steve_earwig]

Lord knows, perhaps voodoo It must be something on the car then, what do BBA say?

[mjb]

Although the instrument cluster contains a copy of the mileage, it's the BSI which tells it what to display. If communication with the BSI is broken, it will display 000000. Did you get the cluster and BSI from different cars? Sounds like they're addressed differently...

[ian260281]

all from the same car

[steve_earwig]

spoke with a peugeot specialist who reccomended hard wiring the footwell connectors as this may be causing a problem

Perhaps the corrosion has spread up the wires and they're mainly copper oxide surrounded by a plastic tube. I think it's probably worth trying, the alternative is looking like a can of petrol and a box of matches just now

[ian260281]

woth considering!

[steve_earwig]

I wouldn't bother with the connectors, they're never 100% reliable and certainly 0% waterproof. I'd go for proper soldered joints with shrink tubing.

oh fun what joy

Piece of cake, I used to be a jointer for BT, try a 4,800 pair cable for mind-numbing tedium...

[ian260281]

does anyone know what those footwell connectors are for?

[steve_earwig]

It's probably for stuff your car doesn't have. I think the main cable is 46HAB which carries data around the car, amongst other stuff.

[ian260281]

i thought mine had it all being the executive! apart from an instrument cluster that works!

[steve_earwig]

Looks like it's black, so it probably isn't

Peugeot don't believe in colour codes, they're numbered instead (get the magnifying glass out )

Is it an estate? Does it have ESP?
