Esp fault 3008
So my 2011 1.6 hdi Peugeot 3008 had a diesel smell coming into car when driving. On inspection seen a large build up of carbon around the injectors so figured there could be one leaking, also noticed a leak from the egr where it bolts onto to back of the cylinder head. So took off the egr valve and found a missing gasket, replaced that and cleaned the injectors up and replaced all washers and seals. Job seems a good one, however on test drive the orange esp light and orange electric handbrake light are on the dash and vehicle is in limp mode. Switch off and restart all goes out and vehicle drives good for few moments and again. Same faults. Ran diagnostic and got the following codes, U1208 and c1391. Can anyone help. What have I done to cause this??

Re: Esp fault 3008
It's possible you've dislodged / damaged / pulled / disconnected a wiring connector whilst undertaking the EGR work.
These all have CAN data networks throughout the engine bay to the sensors and equipment and therefore if you disrupt these it can nave a knock-on effect on the data communications with other systems.
The engine ECU relies on the information from the ESP system via the wheel speed sensors. As you have ESP issues, I'd be checking that there's no oil or contamination on any of the wiring connectors and trace your steps back where you were working to see if there is anything that has been disconnected or damaged wiring or connection wise. Make sure you haven't disconnected anything from the engine ECU and that all the connections are secure.

Re: Esp fault 3008
Thank you Marc for your reply. I've tried double checking all the connections that I've worked near and all seems ok. To my understanding it would appear that the esp ECU isn't communicating with the main ECU. For what reason I don't know yet. The battery was very low when I went to start again after I rebuilt it the first time and I jump started it off another car. Is it possible I've damaged the esp module or even blown a fuse? Is there a way to test the esp module and is there a fuse for it or a wiring diagram? Where is the esp module on a 3008 MK1? Again I appreciate the help.

You'll need to provide your VIN if you want a diagram as they are specific to each vehicle and options. Please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff.

Re: Esp fault 3008
With the exception of the wiring codes, most of the component codes are indexed here:
PSA Electrical Diagrams - Wiring & Symbols Codes Index
I've put up the injection and the ESP diagrams, as according to the fault it seems more likely to be engine ECU related. As you have no codes for the wheel speed sensors, we can assume those are all working correctly. So as may CAN wiring / communication fault between the ESP ECU and the Engine ECU.

Re: Esp fault 3008
On inspection I'm considering the possibility it's the fuse box voltage module. Mines a Delphi 28236841. Is there details on how to test it properly? Thanks

Update. On test drive I've now got the following faults up. P1434 P1435 P12B3 and P0489. All permanent. FML

Re: Esp fault 3008
Sorry to hijack or bump.
Just got the ESP/ASR fault on my dash in my 2012 3008 eHDI. Car went into either limp mode or just some sort of very low power mode. Had to manually change gears with the paddles. Running rough etc.
Have a cheap OBD-II scanner and it revealed one error code of P0265 - Cylinder 2 Injector Circuit is High.
In my head it seems odd that the two are connected and would both just happen at exactly the same time. But that's what happened.
(side note - the single error code is odd too as I have had the low eolys error code for a while but that had disappeared. The car spends a lot of time doing long runs on the motorway and just passed its mot a few weeks ago now so the DPF shouldnt be blocked etc).
