Lexia - C5.

Post by **Peter.N.** » 08 Apr 2016, 00:14

Has anyone had a problem trying to establish contact between an early C5 and a Lexia, I have tried two but neither will connect to it, or at least extract any data from it.

I have a Lexia running Diagbox 7.15, and an 04 reg C5 2.0L HDi VTR, and they are happy talking to each other.

HI Peter - this can be down to the Hardware revision of your Lexia and / or the software version of Diagbox.
See my post here to get the checker to find out the version you have. Some units will not communicate with some C5s and Peugeot 307s for sure. If you can get the info supplied it might give us a clue.

Thanks for the info, I see looking at the link I have already asked about this

won't be long now

I don't really understand the difference but at least I know its not something I am doing. I now have my original Lexia back so will have a go with that.

Ok I'm out for a few hours at the tip ( excess garden rubbish, not the car)! So will check back on return

Maybe the Pug was at fault. Could/has it been read by any other reader? My daughter's Pug 206 had a couple of bent pins that I had t sort out before it was visible to my Lexia.

Apparently not....it needs a different type of chip reportedly (by an expert on here)

Mine usually works fine, but sometimes just refuses to connect, no matter what I do.
Only to be expected from a clone of a rather flaky original system, I suppose!

I got a 52 plate c5 and my lexia is fine and cominucates with all the ecus ( it quite happily brings up loads of the phantom faults the c5's have) I'm running diagbox 7.82 ( been modified its actually diagbox 8.19 files ) i'm running version c on the grey box... check ur fuses as ive been told the fuse for the power point in the boot ( if its an estate) also is the power for the diagnostic socket,

Thanks for that. I see yours is a 2.2 mine is a 2.0. I wonder if that makes any difference.

Did you ever determine if yours was a revision 'B' Peter?

How would I find that out Marc?

In my post here, there is a link to download the PSAChecker software, and instructions in the same post to use it. This will report back your revision Peter

Oh thanks, you gave me that before, my memory span is less than that of a goldfish now.

I will try it tomorrow.
