Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. The error description points you to the area to check.sammyturner1983 wrote:hi i just had diagnostics done on my car citroen c3 2002 1.4sx bsi: permanent fault. communication fault with top of column computer:local

It looks like you are missing some of the error code, but anyway, going by the description, I would suggest it means;
You need to test the communication or wiring from the BSI to the COM2000 including the BSI and the COM2000 units themselves.
Not easy as there is a lot of bus (CAN/VAN), but a visual inspection may just pay off.

Thanks for updating us.sammyturner1983 wrote:it was the fuse 4 damned thing x
Fuse 4 also does the radio and clock, if you had said the radio didn't work, it would have led to F4 a bit more quickly
