A few weeks ago, I asked if the BSI reset might cure my Citroen C3 fuel gauge showing 2 bars and Still 2 after putting in £20 of diesel and then it would count down till zero range. I did the reset and IT WORKED!!! Can't thank you enough. Peter

This was 2018, and it's still good!! Got a Peugeot 308 2015 1.2ltr Allure, one day it would not even turn over, much less start, worked out it was the battery, went and changed the battery, and saw BSI on it render the audio screen frozen, non-communicative, after about five seconds. Would mute, no button pressing, nothing, change the screen. Absolutely peed myself, wondering what it was I had to do, on m own. Got onto YT, searched and found this video, it seemed compatible, gave it a go, followed everything, and it worked a treat!! Thumbs up.

Chevy you did not need BSI reset, your key fob just got unpaired from the car. The manual mentions this may happen and explains how to pair it. The pair procedure was part of this video - turn the ignition on and hold the lock button on your fob for 10s, which is why it fixed your issue.

I've currently got a fault on my Peugeot 3008 where the BSI has malfunctioned and is causing the battery to drain completely overnight (something isn't being told to power off by the BSI itself). Peugeot want £700 to fix it so I'm going to try a reset of the BSI and see if it fixes the drain.

[@AmbroseB1900]

Very useful. Used to do this to cure my C5. However, I was told to put the side lights on before reconnecting the battery as they would then absorb any voltage spikes which may be caused if the battery terminal doesn't make a clean contact.

[@YS_Production]

I can see how unclean contact of a battery terminal may lead to voltage dips, but how could it casue voltage spikes?

[@AmbroseB1900]

@@YS_Production as the battery terminal is replaced, the circuits pick up the voltage. If the terminal makes a series of contacts as it slides down the post, the contact will 'make and break' giving dips and spikes which sometimes can be heard as crackles or even seen as sparks. Even if the spikes are less than battery voltage, the processor may be damaged. I was told too that if there is any induction in the cars circuitry, then a falling voltage would produce a back emf which could be larger than battery voltage. I am just going on advice and explanation I was given myself. It always worked for me though!

[@firstman9273]

2 years ago on my C4 mk2, when the RAC connected jump leads and removed the red tag on the battery positive to make sure the leads were connected... This action of connecting jump leads and removing the positive caused the fault to sound the alarm everytime the doors were locked with the fob, I had to lock with the secret key to stop it from happening. I tried some of this, door closed, window down switch off disconnect battery. reconnect battery and then press lock button, there is no key ignition only a fob start button, but when I did that the alarm immediately sounded. This method did not work on the new C4. I had Citroen do it they said they uploaded a new BSI software to fix it. To clarify, removing the battery positive with the engine off, did not cause this fault. The fault only occurred when the RAC had charging cables attached but also at the same time disconnected the battery. I think this is what caused the fault.

[@WhatTube]

It's always better to remove the negative terminal first. If the battery needs to be charged remove completely the battery and charge it. This method is working on the C4 as well but in your case the RAC mechanic damaged some components that's why it didn't worked for you.

Excellent video. Please continue to post more videos. I have a question regarding disconnection of the battery for post 2016 Peugeot 308. According to the manual, it says before disconnecting the battery, the doors and windows should be closed and wait 2 minutes before disconnecting the battery. I guess this is to put the BSI to sleep. However, I have seen many instructions including this video to leave the windows open so that the side lights can be turned on. So I am not sure if the newer models BSI are detecting the state of windows open or closed position. Any thoughts? Thanks. P.S. The peugeot 308 manual for 2016 model can be found online.

[@WhatTube]

L Emech thanks, You need to open only the drivers window, if you don't leave it open before disconnecting the battery you can't reset the BSI and you can have various electric problems. Even the older BSI can detect the windows but if you wait few minutes the BSI enter in "sleep mode" then you can disconnect the battery. I hope that is helpful. If you have more questions let me know. Thanks.

[@lemech]

Thank you for your kind response. I guess what I am not clear with is: 1. What is the difference with closing the doors and windows and after connecting the battery, wait 3 minutes then open the door to reset the BSI versus, leave the windows open and turn on the lights to reset BSI. I thought as long as the door is open after connecting battery, the BSI will reset. Or should a higher current draw be needed, then open the door followed by turning on side lights. 2. Is it necessary to always do a BSI reset after disconnecting the old battery and replacing it with a new battery? Or, the BSI reset is carried out only on a need to basis like there are problems with BSI. Thanks again.

[@WhatTube]

L Emech 1. If you close the doors and windows then reconnect the battery and wait 3 minutes, then you open the door, in this case you are waking up the BSI by multiple functions (doors lock/unlock, door light, interior light, dashboard operation, ...) If you open the windows and after reconnecting the battery you switch on the light, you are turning on the BSI with only one function, so th BSI can't be "confused" by multiple operations. 2. Is better to do it every time the battery is changed but is not essential.

[@lemech]

WhatTube Excellent! It’s all clear now. Thank you very much.

Well don't be so pedant! If you have a Volvo, it's quite possible that you also have a Peugeot /Citroen engine in it! Particularly diesel, for which Volvo's have pretty much close to 100% of Peugeot/Citroen in it's guts! On petrol it's just loose components! ;-) Either case Independently of brands and models. 100% of modern cars have computers (ECU's) meaning that some might need a reset on occasion. Just like your computer at home! As an example a basic 3 cylinder Peugeot 107/Citroen C1/Toyota Aygo has some 7 or 8 modules. On a car that doesn't even have electric mirrors! Any run of the mill Peugeot from 15 years ago can have >20 separate modules ! With this said I have/had several Peugeots and Citroens, NEVER purposely reset them! Because, quite honestly, it's rarely needed. Many drivers tend to do it as a "cure all" solution! From low tire pressure, to old battery. LOL 😂

[@WhatTube]

Yes it will reset it. But if you get bad mpg it can be some other issue.

Hey guys! Im having issues with my pegueot 207 (2008) where the instrument panel/dash lights start flickering, sometimes doesnt turn on (headlights and stuff work fine). Anyone else had this issue and could this method be a possible fix? It usually happens after the car has been parked over a period of time.

[@WhatTube]

Hi, it looks like the issue is the battery itself, next time try to start the engine with the clutch pedal down and all the electrical things off (lights, stereo, ac, ...)

[@gregg6314]

Great vid. Thank you. My issue is that the drivers window doesn't go down so can't do this through there. Are there any options anyone knows?

[@WhatTube]

Hi, yes, ask someone to help you, one person sits inside, the other one do the outside part.

I also have a problem with the climate, the ventilation in the car no longer works, is it possible to solve it this way?

[@JJ_Cymru]

Hi, brilliant video but before I perform what you done, would this fix problems with the ecu? There isn’t really any specific error codes for the ecu it just says that the ecu has a problem as it is cutting my power when the turbo kicks in. My cars a Peugeot 208 GTi 2015

[@WhatTube]

The BSI it's like a second ECU so you can try it and see if it solve the issue.

[@deandwx]

Hi I have a strange problem with my 2007 207 1.4 s .. I park up and walk away from the car with my keys and then maybe 10 minutes later my car wipers are going and heads are on. Open the door and it stops. Any help or advice would be great thanks .

[@WhatTube]

Hi, most probably you have a corroded BSI unit, you can try to remove and clean it with isopropyl alcohol.

[@paulpickering.]

Hi there Clair as a Peugeot technician I do know there is also a TSB bsi software download for that very problem. Get someone to check for water ingress first as per the whatube comment.

[@kennethgreig4351]

Hi I have the same kind of problem can you please tell me how you fixed it lplease Thanks Kennny

[@YellowFever4ever]

Good video. Got couple questions a) Can you disconnect the battery at either the positive or negative terminal. My battery negative is hidden well inside the bonnect, can't reach it without taking out the whole battery. b) do you think this reset might be fix fault that flag up in the system when you initially start it up. I have had Eco activated, Engine needs repair, gearbox fault and parking brake fault all in space of a week when I start car initially

[@WhatTube]

Hi thank you. a) yes you can disconnect the positive terminal. b) the Eco mode might get fixed, for the others you need to check for any faults stored in the ecu.

[@glarley]

I left the light on in my 2010 berlingo and now it beeps every 15 seconds even when the ignition is off. Everything still works. It's just so annoying. Any ideas?

[@WhatTube]

Hi, Do you have the navigation system whit the display? If yes I think is that one.

[@lsearls2]

Hi Had the mechanic check my 508 today it showed a fault in BSi he checked the fuses it doesent have any faults just the engine fault shows up when I start the engine the goes out but servise light remains on would the reset fix the problem do you think? I did change the battery with the key in

[@WhatTube]

Hi, the 508 has lots of BSI related issues, the best it to try the reset and see, but I don't think it will reset the service light.

You say put the drivers window down but what if that is one of the problems like you have said above (Windows stopped working?) So how can you do the correct procedure and reset the BSI?

[@WhatTube]

Hi, Try to use a different car key. You can try this reset maybe it will fix the issue. And yes you can disconnect the positive pole of the battery if you want.

[@RobertAmyan]

Could you explain pls why should I hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds at the end? Mine is Peugeot 408. Thanks

Hi, in some cars the key need to reprogram after the battery is disconnected so this method will reprogram the key.

[@lyt_w8t]

Hi thanks for the vid, I have two questions: 1 ) Does this clear the learned adaptions of the ECU? I.e. can I use this to reset the adaptions after installing a new VVT and chain , without the need for a diagnostic tool ? 2 ) does this clear fault codes ? Many thanks

[@WhatTube]

Hi 1) yes, this method will clear some of the adaptions learned but not all of them. If you replace just the timing chain usually there is no need to reset but for the VVT you need to use a diagnostic tool. 2) This method does not clear fault codes, in some cases the light may not show on the dashboard but the fault is still stored in the ecu.
