How do you reset fuel additive reading with lexia on C5 2001

Post by horsedentist »

Hi Guys
I have refilled my additive tank today but can't for the life of me find the right section on lexia that will tell the ecu that it is now full. I tried diesel additive personal maintenance but it says this feature not available on this model and all I can find in the diesel additive section is the quantity to inject? Idiots map to the right section would be appreciated ta .

As I understand it on some early C5's you cannot reset the additive ecu, its a case of fitting a new replacement.

That would be it then, in configuration the only options are replace particle filter and replace additive ecu. Bit bloomin stupid considering you should be able to reprogram an ecu more money grabbing me thinks.

I reset my 01 2.2 with the lexia after putting a litre of fluid in and it hasn't come up again since, I just deleted all the faults.

I would assume that comes under replacement parts but if I click on that on mine it says "this function not available on this model" :?:
