Resetting the BSI After Electrical Malfunctions

Model: Peugeot Peugeot Various
Part: Control unit

Video tutorial

Let's see how to reset the BSI (Built-in Services Interface) to resolve electrical malfunctions on a Peugeot or Citroen vehicle. To proceed, open the bonnet, turn off everything that operates electrically (radio, phone, etc.), and open the driver's door.

Wait a few minutes until you hear a "click" from the BSI relay (indicating that the system is in standby). Disconnect the battery, always starting from the negative terminal, and leave it disconnected for at least 5 to 10 minutes. (Keep the radio code handy, as you will need it to reactivate it later).

Reconnect the battery, starting from the positive terminal, and wait 2 minutes without touching anything. Then insert the key and check that everything works correctly.

In the case of the video, this reset did not work.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
