Picasso Instrument Display (Changing Bulbs)

The centre plastic oval has three small slots in its upper lip which are used to ease this bit carefully out, using an appropriate tool (I used two small oval nails with the points files off). The complete module is retained by two Torx screws and two spring clips which pull away with the module. Then unclip the two module plugs, first releasing the retaining clips. the module can then be worked on, on your lap. The lamp holders are removed with a 1/4 anti-clockwise turn using pliers - 9 for the back lighting and millions for the warning lights. Good lamps should read about 13 ohms across the terminals. Halfords sell the lamps (part No 286) at 99p each. Reverse procedure to put back again, then reset clock, date etc... The BSI unit is basically a computer which handles a multitude of functions such as odometer value, central locking, lights and immobiliser. Some later Bsi units are liable to corrupt their own software program if not "woken up" in a specific way after programming keys or battery disconnection. The details of this are explored thoroughly in a Peugeot TSB but I will summarise for you briefly. Procedure for Initialising the BSI after key learning 1. Disconnect the diagnostic tool.If being used. 2. Put the driver's window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all equipment is switched off. 3. Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the ignition. 4. Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 15 seconds.

5. Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.) 6. Switch on the side lights through the driver's window. 7. Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality. 8. Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds. 9.remove key open & close door test c entral locking system 10. Start the engine and complete the system's check. Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many BSI related items. It did take three attempts following this procedure before it worked.
