Peugeot Common ECU Failures

PEUGEOT 306 1.4 / 1.8(16V) and 406 1.8(16V) MODELS FROM 1997 to 2002 -
IDLE CONTROL PROBLEMS. SAGEM SL96 (3 row, 55 pin) ECU suffers from
damage to idle control CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE COILS. Replacing ECU
WITHOUT REPLACING COILS WILL RESULT IN NEW ECU FAILING
WITHIN VERY SHORT TIME FRAME.

Sagem SL96 Symptoms

1) Car suffers idle control problems manifested as rough running at idle and
stalling at traffic lights.
2) Check engine light usually illuminates with coil pack fail and idle control fault
codes.

Diagnostic Checklist

1) Check fault codes - if fault code does not identify which coil has failed,
REPLACE BOTH. Coil failure almost guarantees ECU failure but run car with
new coil(s) - if idle control is correct - and idle control fault code does not
reappear then ECU has probably survived
