Hi all. I'm new here hoping somebody can help me out. My son thought he was helping me out when he did a battery change on our 3008 2012 diesel with auto gear change (manual box) without following the correct procedure
It wouldn't start, came up with engine fault, handbrake wouldnt go on and it says it's stuck in m-
It took me a while to get some advice. First I thought bsi andcwas all prepared to get it checked. Then I was told no it's not bsi, try reconfiguring the keys. This started off with me sourcing software etc and a new laptop then nearly 3 months had passed! Then I couldn't find the logbook to be able to get a PIN from the dealer so applied for it just as the covid-19 hit. 5 weeks later the logbook isnt here !
In the meantime I was advised to not reconfigure the keys and check everything is showing on the bsi. I can find no faults but there is a communication error to the gearbox, the park brake and power steering (I have photo from diagbox). So then the same person said you need to reconfigure the keys!
I've been sent round in circles! This is new to me. The car has done only 32k miles from new and has now been sitting nearly six months!
Sorry for the long first post but can anyone help me please? I cant afford dealer prices and the local dealer is closed anyway!
Many thanks in advance

Thx

What was the reason for the battery change...did you fit a good 'tested'battery? are all the leads connected....is the battery connected the correct way....didd you adhere to the 3 min rule when disconnecting the old battery....????
I have the exact problem right now. Changed the battery for a new one which is 100% charged, but the car won't start, stating faulty brakes, economy mode activated, battery light in red. The brakes were stuck on, then came off when I played around with the switch, and now won't apply again. The more I do things like turn on-off the lights, or lock and unlock the cat, the more different light starts flashing, or stop flashing.
How do I reset the computer?

Hello, new here, first post.
I’m having the same issues. I have a 2010 3008 1.6HDI and it’s been brilliant.. until yesterday. Wouldn’t start. Battery didn’t seem to have enough juice so I removed, tested (good 12v) and fully recharged. Now, on a full battery, it just clicks, won’t turn over at all. I’ve got a faulty parking brake message and an orange triangle where the ‘stop’ usually shows and it’s gone into economy mode. Stuck on my drive. Any advice greatfully received.

Hi
We all have the same issue when changing the battery on Peugeot. This is a common problem that strangely mechanics are lost over.
I checked on Youtube and found 2 videos of a fix. The problem is the mechanic is east European and I can't understand him. So, the electrics and fuses on top of the battery, like a strange terminal that you remove to get to the battery. Well, the right part is not getting power, so when you ling a wire from right to the left, it bridges the gap and you can start the car, and the brakes go to normal, including the gearbox. However, when you stop the engine a red warning circle with the exclamation mark comes on. I removed the bridging wire, following the 3-minute rule, but the car went back to fault mode.
The battery is not the problem, it could be the entire electrical router on top of the battery needs replacing, or another method to send the power through properly needs to be used.
I am hoping there is a car electrician here that can explain this better.
