Front wiper test with lexia not working Citroen c3

[pauljbl]

Hi
I have bought a lexia device and have tested all the tests with it and all works apart from the front wiper test. It does nothing when activated. The wipers do work though from the steering wheel as normal. Wondered why the lexia test won't make them work. Rear wiper works from the lexia test.
Anyone have any ideas?

This is on a Citroen c3 mk1 1.6hdi

I answered this over at the C3 forum but you might have missed it?
I tried mine.
BSI actuator test, front wipers low speed, works.
Sorry, I have no idea. Got the right RPO number? Try a different revision of diagbox? Try Peugeot Planet?
In 2005 there was an upgrade for the sensodrive gearboxes that disabled the cruise control. BUT a bug in that revision of LEXIA lost the cruise control configuration control options in LEXIA. So there are some C2's and C3's to this day running around with cruise controls that don't work because of a software bug! Later configurations of LEXIA could fix it but people are just lazy. I know this as a fact because the independent repairer enabled the cruise control on my C2 with Peugeot Planet!
My point is that different revisions may or may not have bugs in them. My 2003 C3 is a petrol version and that may have something to do with why mine works. YES, I know it should not be relevant but you cant honestly tell me computer programs don't stuff up?
Mine shows a few tests of items that my car doesn't have like turning the ESP light on and off. No ESP or button on my car and all options and configuration are correct in the settings.
Running Peugeot Planet and LEXIA back-to-back shows PP to be a far more professional looking program. LEXIA looks like it was written on a Commodore 64!!! Considering they were both written for PSA products, why are they so different?!
You could ask here for the equivalent Peugeot model to your C3 and try Peugeot Planet? If you are interested in rummaging around the configuration of your car you might ask how to use PP on a Citroen car?
As long as the wipers actually work from the COM2000 then that's the best you can hope for, I guess.

Hi thanks for the reply. I did use the right RPO number. Have tried different revisions of lexia. Wonder if Peugeot planet would work.
I noticed if I put the wipers on then do the wipers test it speeds them up. Also noticed if I go into one of the menus that shows what control you are using. Lexia displays slow speed when I am running fast wipers and fast speed when running them at slow.

Have you tried the COMs unit switch position test?
What does LEXIA say the switches are doing?
I would give PP a go and see (if you want to bother).

Yes the coms switch position test is what I meant by when I put wipers on slow position it shows as high speed and when I put it on high speed lexia shows as slow speed

%$#@! I have got to READ peoples posts!!! Must be old age.

If I remember, I will see what revision of Diagbox I am running and post it.
