Note: L3 = Lexia 3 , PP2K = Peugeot Planet 2000 , DB = Diagbox

Hi to all interested in buying a Lexia (I'm one)
Not sure if this has been linked to before but if the sellers' claims are true about PCB quality it might be interesting:

10% off would bring the price down competitively. BTW I'm no expert on Lexias whatsoever and I have no connection with this seller.

Good Afternoon,

I think I have finally got my Diagbox working correctly.

So how do you reset the particulate additive level ?

Kenny

Last post

If it’s the CSS ECU error, ignore it. That relates to the separate suspension ECU on V6 models, that is not fitted to other models. Non V6 models have the ECO suspension ECU incorporated into the BHI (integrated hydraulic unit).

If you can post up more details or the exact error I can confirm this Kenny.

No worries - the ECU has obviously detected that the MAF is plugged back in and that the data it is sending is within acceptable operating tolerances - so put it out. :wink:

Hi,

Just installed diabox on laptop, first time using diagbox and lexia. I've not hooked it up to the car yet but looking within DiagBox / PP2000 there are three different models for the 207 -

207 VAN
207 CAN
207i

Does anyone know what models / year of 207 these refer to ??

I have a 207 sport SW, 1.6hdi 90hp (Oct 2009

All I know is I initially chose the wrong 207 (petrol) model once and was met with a Global Test list of ECU's not found. After backing out and the correct model selected, I could interrogate all the systems just fine.

I don't think there is much else we can do:

Your installation seems fine - or you friend's VCI would not work
Your USB cable seems fine as it worked on your friend's VCI

Diagbox install

First post

Hello

I just bought the lexia from easydiagnostics and I would like to install it to my computer. Does the internet needs to be turned off turing the istallation?

Last post

If you have a bad battery, I would replace it anyway, but otherwise, it should be fine. The car powers the diagnostic port and of course has to operate the BSI and each of the ECUs as the Global Test is being run.

What a good video, and plenty of electrical and materials detail.
I think the addition of the timer would be a good idea, especially if using a larger current source.
Thanks for posting it Mike.

Hi All - I have the orange engine light on constantly on my 2003 206 Look 1.4 petrol - (with decent battery).
I bought a 'Streetwize OBD2 scan tool' from from Euro Car Parts.

The code reader instructions expected a display message 'C.A.N. OBD2' but I get 'SW OBD11' instead.
The tool refused to connect and issued a 'Link Error'.

Hi all, I am new to the forum and I have seen some previous topics where a torrent link has been shared for Citroen C5 x7 workshop manual.

Service box?

First post

Some time ago I acquired a set of three disks for Service box, the programme was on my computer for a long time but somehow is now gone.

I've still got the disks and attempted today to reinstall them but the activation code I got with them doesn't now work, any suggestions of where to get a working code?

Thanks Marc, that seems to have me on the way.

Weird BSI Faults with a Citroen Jumpy (Dispatch) 120 hdi l1h1 2008

Hi guys,

I'm seeking your advice as I (good engineering knowledge but nothing in depth about cars) as well as my mechanic at a local garage in cornwall is stuck with following issue:
My converted campervan Citroen Jumpy (Dispatch) 120 hdi l1h1 2008 from Austria got seasick while crossing to the UK.

Last post

Hi guys,

It's been a while so I just wanted to let you know what was the fault as it is fixed by now:
The power steering ecu that's inside the ps pump went mad (aluminium pump all corroded so probably water inside electronics) and a new one solved the problem. That did cost me about 350 gbp for an exchange unit + labour.
If you're having that...

Changing gear ratio

by Cutac » 06 Sep 2018, 00:51

First post

Hello,

I've done some tinkering on the VTS and lost cruise control in fifth gear.
I've put a bit longer fifth gear to keep RPM's lower(~700), but now the BSI calculations are wrong so it won't engage cruise control in fifth(will in fourth).

Can gear ratio for fifth gear be changed using Diagbox?

Last post

Wise move - that's for coding a new engine ECU to the BSI!

"Vehicle Communication Bus C" and hickups when driving (1.6hdi)

by Axa » 08 Sep 2018, 20:17

First post

My 1.6hdi 2006 C5 have developed worryingly hickups while driving. The car starts and drives without any other issues, and it have only happened about 15times so far over about a week of driving. And mostly between 60 to 90kmh. Once while accelerating at lower speed.
Today it occurred 3 times within 1km.

Last post

That is a generic code reader - some of the codes like that C1114 are not valid for your car and neither are the ones with the extra numbers:

I suspect your code reader can't interpret the data properly, but the extra numbers don't have anything to do with PSA codes.

Easy Diagnostics new website, anyone else finding it all but impossible to use?

I can get in from my desktop reasonably well but my laptop takes so long to get to the log in page up then more hanging about waiting for the next step. :(

I paid to join as a gold member but not sure now if was worth it.

I've got 2 of a similar spec in the barn, if you're intent on using it go back to XP, less memory required to do basics. Good as a Diag machine, checking emails, basic googling and a glorified MP3 player, though phones will do that better now, apart from the Diag!

Lexia in east sussex

Can any one tell me who has a Lexia in east sussex as my daughter has a starting problem with her car .

Last post

Engine speed sensor on a 1.9TD is on the engine 'rear' flange, on the back side - it picks up the signal from the flywheel. It's brown IIRC and secured by a single 8 or 10mm hex bolt. Not that far up, above the inboard end of the OS driveshaft. You'd need it on ramps to get to it.

Troubleshooting radiator fans '99 Xantia

by veroni » 31 Jul 2018, 15:43

First post

The radiator fans on my 1999 Xantia aren't working, and neither is the AC. The fuses and temperature gauge seem to be working. Removing the brown temperature sensor plug when idling does not lead to the fans spinning up. Perhaps I'd have to check the relays.

Has anyone got any tips on how to locate the issue?

Last post

There are a group of relays on the front between the fans that control them, there is also a Bitron unit under the nearside headlamp, also check conduit running across the front end below radiator for broken wires.
