Peugeot Planet 2000 Interface

    I've a 607 with an airbag fault light on. I got an auto-electrics place to replace the SRS ECU module with one from a scrapyard: scrapyard one showed internal fault error message. Tried again with a second ECU from the scrapyard, with the same result.

    Auto electrics place then contacted a place in Mayo that can re-programme chips and ECUs etc., and they tried to connect to the ECU via the Internet from their remote location (Mayo, and I'm in Dublin). I suspect they were trying to run Peugeot Planet software. They were trying to reset the ECU or something like that. Anyway, they couldn't: said that their software couldn't communicate with the car because the SRS ECU was too old (it's a 2003, and the scrapyard one it was trying to communicate with was 2001 or something like that).

    So, I will have to scrap a perfectly good car this September when its NCT expires, unless I can find a way of fixing the airbag warning light problem.

    I was able to get hold of PP2000 (Peugeot Planet 2000 software, the software that the main Peugeot dealers use AFAIK), and I would be able to set it up on a WinXP VM. The problem is how to connect the laptop running the VM/PP2000 to the car. I'd need the hardware interface unit/cables. Something like this guy shows in this short YouTube video. Does anyone out there have anything like that? Can anyone help me keep this car on the road?

    The ironic thing is that for the five years or so I've had this car, it passes the NCT first time, every time. NCT testers have even remarked on what a good example of a 607 it is.

    Car is Peugeot 607 2.0L SE petrol.

    You need to buy a lexia interface, pp2000 is not used anymore, its diagbox now. I have pp2000 and the interface if you are local but I generally use the launch or autel scanners as they have the same functionality and are much handier.

    Worst case scenario you can just connect the airbag light to the oil light so it switches on and off for the NCT, or clear the code right before the NCT so the light goes out

    I'm not sure that's possible. The warning appears on an LED display that's used for all messages, so you can't just disable the LED display. There's an airbag light alright I think, near the oil light, beside the speedometer. Then there's the separate LED display.
