I have 4 HRHH(engines), Peugeot 308 diesels 2011 year , all the 120KW variant and 3 are going.
Recently, P1 ( Peugeot 308 car 1) started to have an immoboliser? fault. It would start first thing and drive forever with no problems but once stopped it would then not recognise the key to unlock the engine ECU, until sometime later ( it would however pair with the rf pick up coil), possible on temperature.That is confirmed by use of a Autel OBD2 tablet, which shows the key pairing with the pickup coil/immobiliser,locking/unlocking of the ECU in live mode. So ? a thermal problem, i am thinking the BSI unit, an internal capacitor or possible a relay.
Rather then replace the BSI, i removed the ECU,BSI and key/lock from P2 and installed into P1. All cars have the same ECU Delphi, BSI . After replacing the ECU,BSI and lock,the ECU remains locked when the keys is inserted ( again the key and coil pair). So too be sure i returned the ECU etc to P2 and it starts P2.
My understanding is that you insert the key into the lock and the radio frequency coil picks up the code from the keys chip and this is received at the BSI ( ?by can-bus), then the BSI accepts it as the right key, or not and unlocks the ECU which then switches on the components for the engine to run eg fuel pump,starter motor.
So what other component needs transferring from P2 to P1 so that the ECU unlocks? Clearly there is some more silicon involved. Interestingly,the wreckers sell ignition sets with the ECU,BSI and key/lock. Sometimes with the instrument cluster, sometimes with the fuse box, or both. Is there a module in these that needs to convert the rf signal to can-bus?
There must be more because switching the P2 ECU,BSI and lock to P1 and then scanning gives the correct VIN for that car ,is recognised by P2s ECU ( the VIN of P1). So how does the P2 ECU, BSI get the VIN??correct. Or, does the OB2 scanner get the VIN from some other module , not the ECU or BSI. I assumed the VIN is set in the eeprom? in the BSI.
Appreciate any thoughts.
