SOURCE: citroen c3 error code a17

Hello
The engine and transmission in this cars drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPEDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Got a problem with front brakes on a citroen c3 2010 1.4 hdi. When we bought it the garage we bought it from had new discs and pads fitted as the said the brakes were noisy. But there was still a rubbing...

You can test the ABS sensors by disconnecting them temporarily. The Engine Malfunction check light will come on, but will go off a couple of days after reconnecting them.

Also check things like ball joints and tie rods for play.

Did you install the anti-rattle shims?

I've a citroen c3 picasso 12 Reg.my power steering stopped working, warning light showing on dash I've been told it's a common fault and that citroen will repair free if under 80 000 miles. Any info?

repair free ?' dont think so -these are electric motors fitted to the steering coloumn all electronic controlled and if some little uneducated grease monkey from a certain quick fit firm has played with it adjusting tracking on only arm and not keeping it central then this will cause BIG problems .

Citroen c3 2006 anti-theft

I had the same problem.when I used my main key my car wouldn't start and I got the message "anti theft faulty". The key and the remote still unlocks and locks the doors and turns the lights on/off but it just wouldn't start my car. I was able to start my C3 by using the spare key. The main key is still faulty and if used brings up the same message.
