roof and windows

[Slo]

Im gonna stick my neck on the line and say it will be corroded wiring thats to blame, have you checked all the large fuses inside the engine fusebox and when i say large i mean the huge ones underneath that can go un noticed. As said the roof ecu can disable the roof permanantly giving the impression its faulty but you still get the beeps when you try the switch.

thanks, i have looked at the wiring where ever i can access it and it looks okay, i will check those fuses next time im off work,

[Slo]

When you take the top off, the fusebox lifts out you have to unlip 3 prongs then fold it over and you will see the huge fuses.

thanks slo, all looks fine there
and the pp2000 still hasnt arrived

[Slo]

Did you get anywhere with this? Did the pp2000 turn up?

[kwackered]

pp2000 is here, gonna try to get on it today just been working lots of hours ,i will post back with any findings , also i have realised if i dont start it for a couple of days the battery goes flat , dont know if i have a drain somewhere

i had a thought dont know if this is possible but, could it be somebody has replaced bsi/ecu etc maybe from a non cc type 206? , so maybe the car 'thinks' is not a convertible model

[Slo]

Anything is possible but I doubt it, the bsi is programmable to whether its in a convertible or not and can be told if it has a roof ecu to operate or not.

As far as the battery is concerned it could be at the end of its life, give it a good long charge off the car, flat batteries can cause all sorts of phantom problems in these cars with the dreaded bsi's.

One thing to note with the pp2000, when you first get it working make sure you clear all found codes (if any) before you start to act on them as there could be old ones from other times and complete random phantoms from the flat battery.

It will only run on windows xp too

hello again, i plugged the laptop up the the car with the pp2000, it tells me that the engine ecu and bsi have no faults, when checking the 'sunroof' its says ecu failed to respond, i wonder if the roof ecu i bought was duff

[Slo]

You replaced the ecu? Have you still got the old one? If so try plugging it in. Where there any faults at all?

If you did as i said you may need to do a full cycle of unlock car drive it lock it, open it and rescan again

I bought a spare ecu and mine still didnt work it wasn't until i got the diag machine that i realised the bsi had disabled it and infact my original one was fine all along

[kwackered]

there was an airbag fault and radio fault, but its a jvc stereo thats obviuosly not standard, yes i did buy a used roof ecu and i do still have the old one, i will lock ,unlock and drive it through the week, many thanks for your help

[Slo]

Ok put the original one back in and clear the codes again before you do the drive cycle

[kwackered]

still got nowhere , cleared faults and the only ones that came back were for the centre display/clock, no matter what i do i get 'ecu has not replied' , ( the roof ecu that is ) , however every time i put the ignition on i get 'economy mode activated ' , would anyone know if thats normal, thanks

[Slo]

Economy mode should dissappear once the car is started.

[kwackered]

thanks , it does

Check the connectors on the roof ecu for a bent or missing pin ...
