Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / July 2006Immobiliser keypad removal?
Have an S-reg 406 I'm unable to start due to a faulty immobiliser -- assumed broken lead(s) to the keypad (it has a flashing red light and will not accept any input; doesn't even give an audio response to the keys being tapped). I can't see how to access the back of the keypad to examine the wiring. I assume it's possible to lift it off its cradle somehow? If I can woggle the wires around to get a one-off connection I want to then disconnect the thing. TIA, J the keypad is usually linked in with the ECU, not sure how to get round it. > Have an S-reg 406 I'm unable to start due to a faulty immobiliser -- > assumed [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > TIA, > J > the keypad is usually linked in with the ECU, not sure how to get round it. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > TIA, > > J The only safe way I know of to remove the keypad is to start the engine and then disconnect it with the engine running. This logs a fault in the ECU but it no longer expects to see the keypad. I'm told by a Pug master tech that if it is removed before starting the engine the ecu will lockout and never start again. Because of the severity of the possible outcome I've not unplugged the keypad in my Pug with the engine off. hth Bob >> the keypad is usually linked in with the ECU, not sure how to get round >it.

Sorry I mis-interpreted your question. When I took my keypad out it was just a matter of pulling off the connector from the back of the pad. I did it years ago and don't recall anything difficult. I think it just unclipped from under the armrest and has left me with a useful pocket to put my phone and a pack of polos in.
