Merged Lexia & Diagbox threads

What about this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KIT-PP2000-LEXI ... ML&vxp=mtr

UPDATE:
OH, forget it .. I see now that the product is from China!
Certainly will be easydiagnostic.

The newer interfaces are A. 1281 Z Leo, again the picture for the one in your link shows the older one. I really can't comment on other suppliers - it is a big risk as to what you are actually getting inside the unit (in terms of the electronics). At least with Easydiagnostics you have full backup support with them for a year, not a lot of other sellers do this. They may not be the cheapest - but you know you are getting the latest hardware, installation videos and the support. Again it has to be your choice, but there are so many issues with some of these clones, it is really a minefield!

All I'll say is that if you are going to invest in a diagnostic tool for the long term, and possibly going to be assisting friends ot others where you live with their PSA cars, then you will want to know you have a full chip peice of kit with a warranty and support. Over to you

Leo,
Having researched the Lexias' available, I went with "givemeabreak" advice and contacted Easydiagnostics. Very helpful and knowledgeable and they also have a Customer Area where loads of info is available. You won't do better. Also a very easy install which my previous one was not...
I had an early one which worked up to 2010 vehicles, but would not read our 2013 , so beware of buying the wrong one .
HTH, Harry

Not sure what you mean Jack - what is it you need to do?

Hello

I had my tire change and rotated (big big mistake).
I have now moved them back to there original position and discovered one of the sensor was not working so I had that one changed.
I was hoping there may have been some guidance on where is the "reset" and "learn" buttons

Once the new sensor is fitted, it should of been activated using the Exciter tool and the Lexia already. Then you go for a drive whilst it is in learning mode (trying to encounter at least one bend) and that should be that. If it's not working properly, there's nothing in the diagnostic to play with short of disabling or enabling, then initiating the programming - but that would need the other tool to initiate with the Lexia. The Lexia / Diagbox should be able to confirm the tyre pressures though, and report if there is a fault with any of the transmitters, ECU or the system in general.

If you have one tyre that is playing up by giving a warning (and you are sure you don't actually have a puncture or pressure loss) - and you have checked the pressures with an accurate guage, I would try over inflating the tyre (within the tyre limits), leave it for a minute (as the car monitors the pressures even when the car is stationery), then deflate the tyre back to the correct pressure. Leave this for a minute then go for a drive.

If it is still faulty (and it is the one that was recently replaced) I would take it back and get them to check that they preogrammed it correctly, or that it isn't old stock. Rotating the wheels shouldn't in itself be a problem (as long as the tyres are rotating in the correct direction of course) as the sensors communicate their position to the ECU via the TPMS aerial during the measuring / monitoring process.

Hi all,
The aircon on our C4 Picasso did not seem to be working last Monday so treated it to a Lexia session last evening . Eventually found the "report" which listed quite a few errors including the aircon which is locked out on low pressure. Car is out during the day, so can I access the Log File directly from the laptop without it being connected to the vehicle? I wish to print out the Log. The car is still under warranty so want to get it all fixed whilst/if I can. Can anyone help please?
Regards, Harry

Hi Harry, yes this is possible. If you want to printout a report from a previous session:

• Launch Diagbox
• Wait for verification, then select Citroen or Peugeot from the Main screen
• Select your Model
• It will ask you to connect your VCI - ignore
• You now have the additional tabs accross the top od the screen, select REPORTS
• There should be a list of previous sessions listed in the table
• Place a tick against the report you want and then press the green tick at the bottom of the screen
• From here you can then print the report using the print button at the bottom - or press the left arrow to go back.

If you have a PDF printer installed, something like CutePDF, then you can print to the PDF writer, give it a name, and choose a location to save it as a PDF. You can then copy this off to your main PC and print from there if you don't have a physical printer installed on the laptop.

where can I download the lexia software? I've lost the disc so can install it on my new laptop

[C5_Jack]

Hello again GiveMeABreak

Sorry to bother again with my TPMS issue, I've located where the TPMS option is on the software, manage to turn it on and off.
I used the driving slowly for 1mn method and I still got my left side rear which is causing issue.

You have mentioned a TPMS aerial, which as the sensor been changed last weeks can be the next logical bit which is not working properly.

Is there one per wheel somewhere which could have been damaged when the new tire was fitted?

Jack

[TodiCroitor]

At least with Easydiagnostics you have full backup support with .....

this is the one? http://www.easydiagnostics.co.uk/#/shop ... x/10636606

[C5_Jack]

It is the one I have

[GiveMeABreak]

Hi Jack, no, the system comprises of 4 Under Inflation Emitter Modules (1 per wheel), the Low Tyre Pressure Frequency Aerial and the Under inflation Receiver. What exactly is the issue with the wheel - can you be a little more specific as to what warning message you are having?
