Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Lexia is the correct software for your car. Diagbox natively only launches for vehicles from about 2008 on and is not designed for earlier car, so will never work with a Xsara.

When scanning using a Lexia, does it provide any detailed information as to what the codes are related to - or is there a data file provided which breaks down the meaning of the codes? (I'm not expecting diagnosis of what to repair/replace - just textual description of the code ID)

On my DW10CD 2.0 Peugeot Expert diesel, the Mixture calculated by the O2 sensor default reading is 0.099 when the engine is off.

Last post

It's a diesel, so 14.7 doesn't necessarily apply, and it's not trying to control an exact mixture. I think O2 sensors on later diesels are to ensure there's sufficient excess oxygen to burn the soot off. Have you actually got an issue, or just trying to understand the readings?

We recommend you use Diagbox or Lexia. There are no security codes needed for scanning PSA cars. I suggest you contact the vendor of the kit you are using - it's not a car issue. It is likely your kit is not able to worl with full CAN vehicles and probably doesn't recognise all the ECUs.

I've had the other laptop and the Wurth WoW tool on the car today, it works fine, showed up a lot of faults but I expected that (you know the history of this car) cleared all the codes and will give it another run next week when I've used the car for a week.

Finally got round to running the scam again this morning this is the result

First post

On both the Dutch C5 forum and here, I see a lot of remarks about use Lexia and Diagbox software for this and that and everything.

My garage is a non-brand professional garage and uses Hella Gutmann Mega Macs PC software for diagnostics etc. Is that a suitable equivalent or does this lexia or diagbox has something special for citroen that this...

I've seen that, or something that looks very much like it on Ebay for a lot less money.

Help! Permanent fault, Input Speed Coherence P1743

Google is sooo useless lately! I’ve got this new error now & I've no idea what it is! I’ve put an image up of the fault code in Lexia but I don’t really know where to go from here. If it helps I’m experiencing a similar issue to clutch slip but only when shifting gears. I’ll switch up a gear and the car will rev high but not bite immediately. It’s...

Great - that's at least sorted that and good to have the feedback and update for reference. Best of luck with the welding.

Hi Guys

After spending some time failing to get my citroendocbackup to work (some kind of javascript error which i never solved) I've decided to replace it. Looking online it all seems to be downloads rather than discs.
Anyone had any experience of which one to get?

Cheers

Bandit

Last post

Thanks for the tips guys.
I did look online for advice on the error code and suspect it has something to do with me going from windows 7 to 10 on 64bit. I've an old laptop still running windows 7 so I will re install discs onto that and see what happens. Failing that I'll take a punt on that download link :-D

I know most people here talk about Lexias in order to find faults. However, we have a number of more recent non PSA cars in the family and I was looking at getting a more modern code reader that would cover all as well as the Citroen.

Are there any recommended home mechanic tools out there that would cover most bases as well as the PSA...

The three beeps are probably related to the oil level sensor. If you try this at night when it's darker, look to see if you can see the oil warning light come on - although it may be quite dim. This has been known to cause the problem, despite the oil level being correct. So worth investigating that.

Also, you should have a warning message with...

Lexia ECU files location?

I was watching a guy on YouTube flashing an ECU with Lexia and he told me the files were preinstalled with Lexia. He said they came preinstalled up until CD45.

How can I tell if my version of Lexia has the ECU files on it and does anyone know the location of the folder where they reside? Also what does he mean by CD45? I believe the original file...

Ah, ok, I understand.

Yes, firmware updates are very tricky and usually require you to take precautions, like ensure the car is running all the time - don't fiddle with buttons or functions during the process, ensuring there is a reliable internet connection and that the laptop is connected to mains power and no other processes are running....

Best thing to do is get it read with a Lexia diagnostic and post the fault codes up here with your VIN. The faults will give an indication of possible causes - but without that - there are too many variables.

Let me to introduce you an issue that it's bothering me since some weeks ago.

I've recently removed the OEM RD45 headunit from my DS3, and replaced it with an aftermarket 2din headunit (+ Connects2 interface so I could retain steering wheel controls).

The external interface let me not only to use the steering wheel controls to...

No - will not interface with the electronic architecture - different BSI too. As you mentioned - actuator tests are just tests of the controls / functions / button, but cannot programme their functions.

I close the prog down and then the laptop down properly. Laptop back-up battery appears ok - it...

Hi Marc, sorry for the delay in replying (to your reply). No diagbox installed, just Lexi (v3.47). I've since re-installed os and Lexia, I'll see how it goes this time. Going to start a separate thread for the Lexia error code with a suitable title for any one doing a search search in the future.

Then if i go into > fuel injection and emission control, there is nothing for fuel pressure:

Yeah there is a smell of fuel when cranking + I can hear the pump priming with ignition on. Yes I saw that the ECU was 'unlocked' in one of the menus.

Yeah I'll need to check the basics next, I'll look at spark first. I just wish i had a code or two to send me in the right direction!
