Siemens Bsm B3 Schematic Upd Now

The Siemens BSM-B3 (Boîtier de Servitude Moteur) is a vital engine bay fuse box and control module primarily used in PSA Group vehicles, including various Peugeot and Citroën models. It functions as a power distribution and protection hub, managing relays and fuses for critical engine systems. Technical Overview Manufacturer: Siemens (also manufactured by Delphi/PSA).

1. The Input Rectifier and Soft Charge Circuit

At the top left of the schematic, you will see three input terminals (U1, V1, W1). These connect to a three-phase bridge rectifier (large diodes). Next to the rectifier, look for a soft-start relay and a charging resistor. When power is first applied, the relay is open; current flows through the resistor to slowly charge the DC link capacitors. Once voltage reaches ~80%, the relay closes. Failure point: Worn relay contacts cause "DC link overvoltage" errors. siemens bsm b3 schematic

Teardown and Wiring: For a visual look at the internal relays and fuses, the Citroën C3 Owners Forum offers a teardown and wiring diagram. The Siemens BSM-B3 (Boîtier de Servitude Moteur) is

If your vehicle has no fuel pump prime, check Fuse F2 (15A) and its associated internal relay. Because these relays are often soldered to the internal board, a failure usually requires replacing the entire BSM module or performing a teardown to bypass the relay.
