I get this and I have always put it down to the fact that the wheel sensors are not aligned, so always ignored it.

I also get the F5FF code on the BSI, which has appeared on this site before (F5FF (unexpected re-initialisation fault coming from the BSI) Not Characterised.)

Thanks Richard - If there aren't many other members with these faults, then I would be a little concerned. Has the under-bonnet fuse box been identified as an X7 issue? and has anyone had this replaced and for what reasons? Any info appreciated as I have just taken another years Citroen Extended Warranty out and would want to get this replaced if it is a known fault.

@Stu - Thanks for the confirmation Stu.

:-D Thanks to all who replied - I'll take the printout to my friend, who's the Service Manager at the dealer and let him have a squiz over the faults and see if it concurs with their Diagbox! - If nothing else, I'll know if my Diagbox is working as it should! :-D

Went for a test drive today and passed on the Diagbox printout for the dodgy codes. They are going to run these past Citroen UK to see if they are erroneous or not.

Update: My car is at the dealers having a new Drivers window motor and regulator fitted, so checked with the Service Manager on the ghost codes in my OP. He has checked with Citroen and all of these are 'ghosts' and are not errors unless of course they come on with additional symptoms / warnings.

I have P2133 ja P2131 on mine. Something to do with kickdown and throttle pedal I guess. However throttle pedal seems to work ok. Only "fault" is that automatic gearbox tends to change too small gear when accelerating with cruise control. If accelerating normally with throttle pedal, gearbox changes normally.
