Diagbox not communicating with car

[GiveMeABreak]

You may need to bite the bullet and pay PSA for a half hour diagnostic session tor reset it for you using their kit. The most it should cost is an hour at about £120

Hi, folks, sorry to jump in here but it is directly related.

I've tried to order a Diagbox from Ebay today (latest apparently with 1500 units sold) only for the seller to cancel my order after telling them I have a 2015 Euro5 Expert. Their reply was simply 'Lexia has a problem with Diesel Vans and it won't work.'


I'm curious as to why it won't work if if this is a mistake. On this forum and the Peugeot forum it has been advised many times over 6 months that I need a Diagbox to get to the heart of my problem.


Any input greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This is the link, if it's allowed https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261751630895 ... name=11051

I would not use that buyer, as (if they had been prepared to check) it can be found that most Lexia clones can handle FIAT derived vans with the aid of the S.1279 module.

Thanks Hell Razor. I'm inclined to agree to stay away. quoted as being excellent customer service, but not so far lol. Is that link correct? It doesn't mention Expert in the list.

Cheers.

lol I'm so confused why this seller thinks this isn't going to work. It even has an obdII connector in the description and images.

I'm still trying to work this out, so if anyone has a link to everything i need for a 2015, Expert 2.0 hdi 130bhp Euro 5, i'd appreciate it

Thanks

1. The VCI should actually be connected before starting the DB so that the firmware is updated. The vehicle must then be diagnosed with DB.
2. Firmware 4.2.4 corresponds to DB V05.xx up to about 5.29 - there it was possible to select DB LEXIA as an alternative for 2008 vehicles.
3. If the firmware is changed from 7.57 (4.3.2) to 4.2.4, anomalies occur.
The language can be changed on all diagnostic devices.
4. Completely uninstall DB and remove all fragments and only install the LEXIA 345 + Update 348. Citroen vehicles up to 2009/2010 can be diagnosed with this - the good old LEXIA can only be started if the VCI is connected.
5. Or install DB V05 and update up to max. 5.27.

There were always VCIs that could no longer work with firmware higher than 4.2.4 - maybe you have a China cracker - it almost looks like it - but these VCIs can work with the old LEXIA 348 and the DIAGBOX V05.27 work correctly.

This looks like great information.

I currently have two old Lexiae both of which are Rev B boards. One is a clone and the other appears to be genuine. I have made some posts recently about it.

It used to work but now it doesn't. An OBD scanner reads data but Lexia will not. Can you offer any sage advice please?
