C4 Picasso 2008

Unread post by Vikis »

Hello. I have an issue with a Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6 diesel. It cranks but won't start. There is always a code F000 BSM mute on CAN, and after cranking, codes P2148, P1368, P1367, and P1369 appear. I had spare BSM and ECU; I tried changing them, but the problem remains. I did a BSI reset, still nothing. Where should I search, what should I check? I am a beginner, so I am unsure how and which CAN line cables to check. Thanks for your help.

Those are all injector related codes - have you done any work on it lately? Needs a wiring diagram really, but must be something common, duff earth maybe.

The engine and gearbox were changed.
I am thinking the same; maybe the ground is bad somewhere, but I do not see anything strange or bad. I can see error codes on the OBD of the BSM, ECU, and BSI, so everything should be connected. I checked the ground of the BSM; all is good. Have no idea

Would it be worth connecting a earth directly between the engine and battery to illuminate an earth issue?

Hello. Earth is good; I checked all cables physically and with a multimeter. With the ignition on, one injector pin shows 0.5V, the other pin 0V. When cranking, the same. Should this be the case? I think the injectors are not receiving enough power. I don't know what to check next; I can't find the injector relay or fuse. The immobiliser seems good; there is no red key symbol on the dashboard, and live data shows the key is recognised and synchronised

Update: Found the issue. Disconnecting the first injector (right to left) started the car, so the issue is the injector or its plug

Nice one, sounds like the injector is shorted and pulling the whole system down.
