Well, as you're all aware I have been fighting with the ABS Fault for some time.
Just after Christmas I had the lovely Paul and wife visit me to run diagnostics on it.
As a quick re-cap it found two faults:
1 - Air bags ECU was ''incorrect''
2 - Rear right abs sensor
Work so far has been done to these two culprits. Both would fail an mot.
The airbag ECU was NOT incorrect, yet it was a dodgy connection (gotta love the French eh?)
I massacred the electrics and sorted that.
The ABS sensor was changed.
Yet some-fucking-how the silly Pug-mobile still threw up an ABS fault.
It is VERY intermittent. I still don't know the route cause of it in fairness, I have a good idea though.
I asked on the 406 forum I visit (for anyone following my blog, it's 406oc.co.uk Forum) if anyone was local to me and had PP2000 (Peugeot Planet 2000, the Peugeot diagnostics).
After a wee while a kind gentleman from the forum asked if I still needed it done and said he would be in the area on business and could hook her up for me.
I accepted this young mans kind offer.
My drive has never looked better than when these two 406's were on the drive.
My estate; his saloon. Perfection, purified!
Anyway, we checked out each others under the bonnets then got to work. Plugged her in (by all means PP2000 seemed to respond a LOT faster to the car)
Still no ABS fault had beeped since I put it back together.
Anyway, in the menu for the ABS, he made Miss Pug go beep!
It was fine until we went into this menu... argh!
'Rear right ABS sensor' showed an intermittent fault.
We cleared the fault. Went for a short test drive and returned.
Hooked her back up and the fault has cleared - Woo hoo! :)
Maybe it just needed the fault clearing?
WRONG.
The day after diagnostics was done, it beeped up twice (Friday).
On Sunday it beeped up an astonishing EIGHT times - weather was wet.
A HUGE thank you to Richard who came to see us on Thursday!
Incredibly nice to meet the second person off this fantastic forum. :)
