Background
The following message may be displayed when reading diagnostic trouble codes with the diagnostic tool: "PSM Missing" This is due to incorrect parameter setting in production.
The PSM is an ECU that is only fitted in earlier versions of the 9-3 CV and has never been fitted in the 4D. Incorrect parameter setting means that the system has been advised in terms of data that the PSM should be present, which means that the diagnostic tool searches for the PSM when reading diagnostic trouble codes, however with the correct result "PSM Missing" as the PSM is not physically present.
Note
The customer does not notice that anything is wrong in the car due to the incorrect parameter setting.
In the event of the above error message the following procedure must be carried out.
