Peugeot Boxer 2.2 HDI BSI reset sequence

[Dormouse]

Hi. Is there a reset sequence for the BSI on a 2008 Boxer 2.2 HDI van?

It's the same:

BSI Reset / Battery Disconnect / Reconnect Procedure

Hello,
I know this is an old thread and I truly appreciate the time and effort you guys do to help others but I have a question on this thread and procedure.
The Boxer battery is mounted in the cab floor thus accessed from inside the vehicle.
Is it ok to stay in the vehicle whilst disconnecting the battery and following the procedure?
Also how far from the dashboard does the key have to be so it is not picked up by its receiver? Is it a two person job so the ignition key can be removed from the vehicle.
Yours thankfully,
Colin

Hi Colin

Ok, so yes of course it's ok to stay in the vehicle for the wait period after disconnecting the battery.
If you are talking about the Hands-Free system specifically, then PSA recommend you keep the fob at least 3 metres away from the vehicle to prevent the aerial receivers picking up the fob transmitter signal. Otherwise this would wake up the vehicle Network and counteract the procedure.

So have the window down for access in case of emergency, then leave the fob about 4 metres away, get in and follow the procedure, wait in the van and then after time lapse and reconnection, you can retrieve the fob and reinitialise them.

That makes sense, thanks

I think it is possible to "lock" a front door while it is open on this van by using a screwdriver to close the latch in the door jamb. I did it on my one but it may not be true for all 250 models. Maybe Marc or someone else could confirm this as a method of leaving a door open on a 250 van so the BSI can be reset.

Yes that's correct - you just need to fool the BSI into thinking the door is shut, so the network isn't active. Flipping the locking latch down should simulate this.
