#1: Single beep from car when starting up Author: kall67, Location: DevonPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2011 5:50 pm ---- Would anyone have an idea as to what the heck could be wrong with my 206 1.4lx petrol 2003 model. In last 5 days when ever i start the engine i hear a loud single beep, nothing is displayed, none of the warning lights come on, and then the engine starts. the car drives fine, and its starts without the beep after that, unless i leave it for say @4 hrs.
I am going to get it serviced, even though the indicator says another 5,000 miles before service.
#2: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2011 6:49 pm ---- Could it be the ice warning?
Anything displayed on the clock/radio display?
#3: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 3:22 am ---- Door/boot open, low petrol are the only ones that cause mine.

Agree.
#6: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 5:21 am ---- agree also about the ice warning.
if i recall correctly, if you have the single line display then the temperature will flash, the larger display actually informs you of ICE.
#7: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: shadow, Location: gloucesterPosted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 5:46 am ---- mine displays ICE
ALERT
#8: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: kall67, Location: DevonPosted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 6:50 am ---- No displays, and its not an ICE warning as i have had car for 2 yrs and it has never done that, even when i have travelled up to mids and it has been icey, it has always started 1st time.
Strangely enough didnt beep this morn, will keep check on that though.
All this started since we have had alot of damp weather here in devon, was wondering if anything to do with that? Have used that damp start and sprayed it over the cables and electrical points.

#10: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: welshie87, Location: South WalesPosted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 1:57 pm ---- You'll get the ice warning when temp is below 3 degrees outside. But now you mention it cant remember if beeps or not lol. Is there anything lighting up on the dashboard when the beep occurs. It didn bleep on start last year when battery was drained take your to a garage and ask them toc heck your battery
#11: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:01 pm ---- Ive never heard my 206 beep for the ICE ALERT warning in 6 years of ownership.
#12: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: PaddyC, Location: IrelandPosted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:05 pm ---- My 206 randomly beeps, no matter what the weather, but the last few days I have noticed that it beeps when the car is first switched on and scrolls 'ICE ALERT' on the display where the date usually is, and if the temperature drops below 4°C at any time it beeps again and the temperature stays on, instead of the time, and flashes (which is annoying as I'd rather see the time over the temperature!).

Same here. I have heard a random beep sometimes though last year. I noticed at the time the engine light was lagging on just a little bit longer than the others.
I suggest taking a careful look at the EML light and making sure its not hanging on a little bit longer.

If its multiplexed then change to the larger 3 line display
It annoyed the hell out of me when I first got my 206, its a good excuse for upgrading the display

How much does it cost to upgrade the display roughly?

As much as you win one of Ebay / get one of here / from a scrapyard for
3 bulb / PPT 40 connector type large display is what your after for a multiplexed 206.
Display is 99% of the time plug & play.
Also opens you up to retro fit trip computer as well if you change the com 2000 / fit the washer stalk end with the button.

#18: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: kall67, Location: DevonPosted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 10:14 am ---- Well the latest now is that it has started to stall when driving. Coming to the lights i depressed the clutch, to change gears and engine just stalled, lucky i was moving to start the damn thing again. Peugeot are crap, should have gone for honda. Also that beeping is a pain, its not the ice warning, i managed to video it, and when it beeps its like all the dials on the dash go into reverse, for around 3 secs then the petrol gauge moves to its place along with the rev counter. Any idea's?

Its an electrical fault.
Check the battery is in good condition & the connections are clean / tight.
#20: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: kall67, Location: DevonPosted: Tue Dec 20, 2011 3:34 am ---- Battery terminals are tight, its in the garage today, said will do diagnostic check. Fingers crossedeh?
#21: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: abs06, Location: East SussexPosted: Tue Dec 20, 2011 5:07 am ---- mine doesnt make any sound when there is an ice alert.
when i first got mine, i did notice a beep. check your deadlocking. when i started mine, it would say deadlocking active... i just turned it off and on again, (holding the lock button on dash)
mine is a 2005 with the 3 line display etc
#22: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: kall67, Location: DevonPosted: Tue Dec 20, 2011 10:14 am ---- Had call from garage, did a full diagnostic check and it seems one of the cells in the battery are failing, so the battery is being replaced, service done too so i hope it will give me another year at least before i get rid of it. Thanks for all the advice from everyone.
#23: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: PaddyC, Location: IrelandPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 5:13 am ---- What sort of info does the newer display give you over the old one, or is it just better designed so everything can exist together at the same time?
How can I check if my car is multiplexed or not?

#25: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: PaddyC, Location: IrelandPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 6:29 am ---- Actually, scrub my previous post, I checked and my 206 is multiplexed and have purchased one of those 3 line multi-function displays linked to earlier. It probably won't come until after Christmas but I can fit it in my spare time whilst I'm off work. It'll look a bit better and maybe I'll get some new features with it or something!
#26: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: PaddyC, Location: IrelandPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 7:00 am ---- OK, I've got the new PPT40 unit, what do I have to do to fit it? Do I need to disconnect the battery and all or can I just work away at it whenever I get into the car? Is there a guide for fitting them at all, with pictures if possible?
#27: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 7:18 am ---- The 3 line ones are a waste of time if your BSI isn't capable of trip data and you have the wrong COM
#28: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: PaddyC, Location: IrelandPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 7:54 am ---- OK, I just went for it and changed it over and am more than pleased to report that it works perfectly. It gives me the time, date and temperature on the display, and I have removed the cap on the wiper stalk and there is a button inside for me to change the display so I can see how many approx. miles I can do before I need to refuel, my average MPG and all that jazz.
I have also found out what that single beep is for when I start the car, the screen flashes up ABS FAULT when the beep sounds, so at least I now know what I have to get checked! Really glad I bought this new display now!

The yellow ABS warning light on the instrument cluster should be on if there is a fault with the ABS system.
#30: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: PaddyC, Location: IrelandPosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:45 am ---- There is no light on the dash, it's only on the new MFD. I wonder what the beep is if it isn't the ABS. Is there any way of getting it stopped, maybe a system reset or something?

Does your car actually have ABS fitted?

#34: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:15 am ---- PPT-40 is just the connector for a multiplexed MFD
#35: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:21 am ---- So I take it that there isn't a double line display that'll fit my car then?

You need a PPT 40 - 3 line display, got one in my 03 plate GLX.
#37: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:28 am ---- My display says PPT-40 on it but Lee says thats just for the connector, so there must be a 2 line display that'll fit then. Ebay here I come.

That is correct, PPT 40 is just the connector plug.
My original single line display had PPT 40 on it, my replacement 3 line display also had PPT 40 on it
#39: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:42 am ---- Thanks Mr BSI, Ive found one on eBay and messaged the seller to see if it has PPT40 on it. I read somewhere you need a button on a stalk to change the display, my wiper has a button that sets the lights and wipers to auto but will it change the display?

Not unless the original com has been changed.
Will be << on the end of the wiper stalk for trip computer, you can on some com units remove the end of the wiper stalk & you should find the little switch is hidden inside, you then just have to get another com end with the push button fitted.
#41: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:49 am ---- The original COM was replaced earlier this year but I think the new one has << on the wiper end, Ill check tomorrow. I think getting a 3 line display could be a non starter though, sounds like its getting too complicated.
Thanks again.

Display just plugs straight in & works.
If you want the trip computer features working to, thats when you need the extra button on wiper stalk.
#43: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: jcowan, Location: Leslie, fifePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:45 pm ---- 03 plate 1.4 lx, i must only have the single line display, however im positive there is a button already on my wiper stalk so hopefully it should be pretty straightforward if i decide to change it but before i do can somebody that has a 2 or 3 line display stick a pic up for me to see if i think its worthwhile, be greatly appreciated cheers.
#44: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: PaddyC, Location: IrelandPosted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 2:55 pm ---- I am not sure if mine has ABS fitted but I'm sort of sure it does, how can I check?
I have taken the push button of the auto lights stalk and put it on the other one for the wipers so now can change the display to show whatever I want, and I put the non push one on the light stalk. I then reset the whole thing by holding in the button on the wiper stalk for 3 seconds. Since then, I have not had the beep for the ABS fault and my lights and central locking have been working perfectly since. Typical, I also ordered the newCom Unit but may not even need it! Might as well fit it anyway!
