Yes I'm aware of that, I just happened to take that pic while i was moving through the gears to check the dash was showing the correct gear as per the shifter.

I'm not getting the ready light, obviously there's still a few errors to be ironed out, just got to work out what they are. Perhaps its time to use the scanner again.
 
For anyone wondering, I managed to get to the "ready" stage after recharging the 12V battery. It seemed to reset the system and cleared the way for everything to work. I couldn't drive it, as it had a flat tire, and the oil had been drained from the trans. I did want to check the motor would turn over, so I put it up on jackstands and put it into gear. I was surprised to hear the wheels turning immediately from putting into D, and then spinning wildly once I depressed the brake pedal (the speedo flew up to 101km/hr!). I quickly shut it down after that. I presume it was trying to do something with the regen?
 
Hi, six and a half years later and I'm in a very similar situation. I've purchased a smashed imiev (labelled Peugeot Ion here in France) and I am failing to get it running. It was a front end, high level smash. Both front airbags fired. I have rearranged the front end, wired in a big fully charged 12V battery, lights work, wipers work, dashboard works, but it won't go into ready and I cant get any fault codes except U1111. My gear selector seems to work fine with dash showing all letters as selected. I have removed and tested every fuse I can find from footwell and under bonnet fuse box. Only one was blown - the car stereo one!!

Can the airbag ecu prevent ready mode? Does it prevent canbus comms?

Is there a pyro-fuse in the battery for accidents?

Any help much appreciated,

Regards,

Tom.
 
That is a CAN Buss fault for lack of communication with the ETACS-ECU, which is a major controller for the body, located under the dash on the left hand side.

The FSM has lots of diagrams and steps to troubleshoot, mostly while using the MUT tool, but wiring harness and connector damage can be checked visually.

Wow, thank you so much for extremely useful and speedy replies. I haven't had time to check out the details of the linked pages yet as I'm on baby duty this evening. But I will study and report back.

Many thanks again, and thanks for the welcome,

Tom.
