Hi everyone,
I have a RHD 307 CC cabriolet, here in Australia.
Anyhow 4 days ago, I went and replaced the airflow direction lever that attaches to the actuator. It is in a bugger of a spot for those with RHD cars, as the top screw to the actuator, is not easily accessible with steering column, but more importantly a wiring loom that comes out from behind the dash and is tied back to a bracket off the steering column, this wiring loom make it a job more on the difficult side, but I managed it.
Anyhow the following day when I went to use the car, I get a the message on my display on top of the dash saying "Parking Assistance System Faulty". So I thought what the heck does that mean. So I googled it, and found that either the Parking Distance Control Unit Module, or at least one of the rear sensors, or damaged or loose wiring. I also read where you can tell if a sensor is faulty or not, by turning ignition on, touching them and listen for a ticking noise, and for even more clarity, touch them with a screwdriver. I did this to all of them, and did not hear any ticking; so now I think it is wiring or the module is faulty. I was unable to locate the module, and cant find any info on this model Peugeot that explains as to where it is located.
Anyhow, I drove the car later that day, with it still telling me with the warning every time i got back into the car and started it up. But then when I got home, in the drive way, I had to reverse the car, and the reversing display unit was working correctly....so it now had me thinking, loose wiring or connector somewhere. Anyhow I parked may car in the garage for the night, there is a little hump the car has to go over to get into the garage. Got back to the car the following morning, started the car, and the error message showed again, and when put into reverse, the error again showed. So I flipped put the panel under the steering column, just wondering if the wiring loom that comes out from behind the dash and is anchored off to the bracket on the steering column may have something to do with it. So I moved the harness about with my hand to see if the error message would disappear, to which it did not.
So, now I am stuck, I have no ideas as to where to look next, or what to do.
Has anyone else had this issue, or know the answer?
Also does anyone know where the control module is located, thinking maybe a connector is loose in that?
Is there any test that I can do somewhere, to determine what is causing the error message?
I am trying to avoid the Peugeot Dealership Workshop for advice, as they are ever, ever so expensive.
Cheers everyone, hopefully someone can help me out with suggestions.
Regards David.
