Citroen c4 grand picasso 2016 1.6hdi electrical faults
Hi,
I'm hoping I could get some help from the guys that know these cars.
The car unlocks but only on the drivers side, the car does not start and states electrical fault on the dashboard, engine fault, handbrake and airbag fault.
When the ignition is in the on position the rear wiper functions constantly, no power is present at the obd port but all fuses are good.
I have put power to the obd port and found faults across engine, abs, power steering and airbag systems (codes listed at the bottom).
The Parking brake was off when I got the car and I managed to get the car started by sending power to the starter solenoid, the car runs well and when the car was stopped the parking brake came on then couldn't be turned off again, some items like the mirrors cant be adjusted even with the engine running.
Originally I thought it was a bsi fault but now I am not so sure, the fact the nearside doors don't unlock from the fob but do lock and the no power to the obd port make me think is is the bsi but all the fault codes make me think its something else.
A bmw had similar issues when a fuse was gone in the bsi but as I say I have removed and checked all of the fuses and cleaned up a few connectors in the engine bay.
I have now read about some electrical faults with with the handbrake wiring and i will have a look at that as soon as it stops raining, is there anywhere else i should look?

Re: Citroen c4 grand picasso 2016 1.6hdi electrical faults
With this number of faults I think your problem is more likely to be one of the boards like the engine fuse box, BSI or supplies and management OR the connections to them. Faults in these areas can lead to a host of electrical faults, and as many of the faults above are relating to a supply issue / comms issue on the network, that is where I would start looking.
I wouldn't be replacing any parts at this stage, but it may pay you to get a dealer to look at it for the cost of a diagnostic (circa £120 inc. VAT for up to an hour of diags). They may have seen this sort of issue before, but will certainly have the additional testing kit to check. I say this given the number of faults and the likely specialist attention needed to locate the fault (s).
