#1: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Sat Mar 12, 2011 12:46 pm ---- Hi I wonder if anyone can HELP. My 206 1.4 GLX (03) failed its MOT this morning because the headlights and sidelights came on at the same time when the sidelights were selected on. Also when the rotary switch is in the "sidelight" position the indicators will only flash twice each side then stop.
Ive tried a BSI reset (twice), checked the BSI connections, all the fuses and earths to the lights and even changed all the front bulbs, but the fault is still there.
I suspect the BSI has a fault (expensive) but can I just fit a new/secondhand one or does it need to be coded to the car/keys??
Hoping for an answer or suggestions
Thanks, Kev

I'd say it needs a new COM2000

What are these actuator tests and COM2000 your on about?
#4: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Mar 12, 2011 1:36 pm ---- Your COM is the multifunction switch assembly that makes up the indicator stalk, lights and wiper stalk. It communicates with the BSI and are pretty prone to failing.
When you scan for faults on a car, you can preform actuator tests so you can turn the indicators and stuff on using software so you can rule out things like a fault BSI, because if they are functioning correctly then the switch is generally at fault.
I'd be tempted to get a new COM

I'm going to an auto lecky on Monday for some diagnostic work, I'll let them know what you've said, although if they're any good they should know.
I'll also let you know what gets replaced
Thanks again,
Kev

Waste of time unless they have Peugeot Planet diagnostic kit
03 plate car, it's 99.9% gonna need a new Com2000 unit
I very much doubt it's the BSI.
It might also be an idea to get the BSI software updated by a Peugeot main dealer, 2003 software is very buggy
#7: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 5:50 am ---- So would you recommend going direct to Peugeot main dealer then to get car sorted, the auto lecky I was going to (Auto electrix, Swindon) says they have factory diagnostic kit and spares on the shelf.
#8: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 5:53 am ---- If they say they have factory diagnostic kit that will be Peugeot Planet then
#9: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 7:29 am ---- I'll report back what happens then, thanks for your advice.
#10: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 7:53 am ---- They probably will have Multi Di@g, i would have thought, which should be able to do actuator tests and a lot of the same stuff Peugeot Planet does.
I'd come do it for you, but think it might cost you too much travelling from Sheffield
#11: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 12:14 pm ---- Will find out tomorrow hopefully what the fault is. Thanks for the offer Lee but Sheffield is a fair way away, I think fixing car is gonna be expensive enough as it is !!!
#12: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:01 am ---- Hi just a quick update, Peugeot main dealer has scsnned the car and confirmed the COM2000 is at fault, so £300 later I shall be picking the car up in the morning,
Thanks for all the advice
#13: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:08 am ---- Wait, 300 quid?! Does it just be need to be fitted? if so you can get one for a fraction of the price and fit yourself.
#14: Re: MOT fail coz of sidelight/indicator problem Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:49 am ---- The £300 is for the diagnostic work, the COM2000, labour and VAT. I didnt really fancy messing with the air-bag. Better to be done properly with a warranty than mess it up and end up spending more money I dont have..
