Another 206 non starter!

DAM may be the Peugeot equivalent of the Citroen RPO. Take a look at the labels around the driver door. There may be one with 7 digits (5 numbers, 2 letters), and that MIGHT be the DAM. On a Citroen (such as my old C5) the number was 10041CJ.

Ok thanks, rain stopped play again.

On this 2007 model the throttle position sensor is built into the throttle body..... so its going to be £150 so i want to be sure thats the correct thing to do based on the pp2000 ecu read?

[myglaren]

A long shot but if the sensor is faulty them perhaps the buzzing noise you hear is the stepper motor hunting.

[Markdas]

Yeah, that would make sense, although I think it was Wheeler who says that noise isn’t unusual.

As say if the answer. Is to change the throttle body then so be it.....but i dont want to go down the wrong path again

[GiveMeABreak]

Your DAM is your build number, pop your VIN up if you want to know what it is, plus it will help me identify the engine ECU for a proper interpretation of the fault code.

[Markdas]

Thanks Marc....

VIN - VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

[GiveMeABreak]

Ok, my parcel is here, plugged it all in......

Entered the VIN number but PP2000 option was asking for a DAM? No idea what that is?

So i used Diabox option.....P0122 throttle position sensor?

So is that it? I cant see how to run anymore checks of other systems?

Am I missing something?

Cheers

Ok, so your DAM number is: 11253
Here's the fault code explained - though I'm not sure about 'deactivation of the driver'

Fault code	P0122
After sales description of the fault code	Motorised butterfly track 1 signal fault: Open circuit; Short circuit to earth
Description of the diagnostics	Wire 1 throttle position signal: The voltage of the butterfly position signal is above a threshold
Conditions of activation of the diagnostics	-
Conditions of disappearance of the fault	-
Down-grade modes if fault present	Deactivation of the throttle diagnosis and of the driver Use of the default values defined in the application code Application of the mode "voluntary downgrade of performance" Minimum open position of the motorised throttle housing (Possible)
Switching on of the warning lamp and/or warning message	-
Main customer complaints likely	Lack of power Minimum open position of the motorised throttle housing
Suspect areas	Electrical harness Connectors Motorised throttle housing

[Markdas]

Jeez there is a lot there! So do you think im safe to assume that a new throttle body will solve the problem?

Or could this still be the wiring to the throttle?

Thanks for the info....i’ll try again with pp2000 and the DAM

[GiveMeABreak]

That's the problem - a faulty wire / pin or the unit itself...

There could be 2 types of system fitted to your vehicle - either the electronic accelerator pedal potentiometer or the mechanical cable from the accelerator to the throttle assembly in the engine bay.

[Markdas]

Its electronic, ive removed and cleaned it, there is no throttle cable...

Will pp2000 diagnose things further or is that it?

[Markdas]

Should i try and check at least continuity for each wire that goes to the throttle body?

[GiveMeABreak]

If you have the option to choose PP2000 or Diagbox, try diagbox. Run a Global Test and then go into the injection ECU, then select parameters and there should be some tests you can select. Some should be able to detect the pedal movement as you operate the accelerator - but have a look and see what is there.

[Markdas]

It asked which ecu to test but only had 1 option (10)

I didnt see anything about a global test?

I’ll go have another look.

I was in Diagbox. Seemed to have read ecu, fault codes, clear fault codes and parameters

[Markdas]

Ok...did a global test and lots of things going on!

Not sure how to attach a pic?

BSI - no faults
Multi func display - faults present
Inst panel - faults
Airbag - faults
Switch module comm 2000 - no faults
Radio - no faults
Engine ecu - faults
Abs - faults

[Markdas]

On the further tests i got
