Which OBD scanner to read DPF levels on Citroen Relay…?

Unread post by Spice52 »

Hello

Which scanner will read dpf levels on a Citroen relay..?

I have a 2017 Citroen relay van, I need to read the level of the dpf and see if it needs a re-generation etc

Also if possible I need to force a re-generation

I have just bought a icarsoft pro + was told it would work but it does not on my van so I’m after a scanner that will read the dpf

Thank you

The PSA vehicles really need Diagbox, but be aware the commercial vehicles may also require the add-on S1279 module to read all the systems. These can be purchased separately from the 'Lexia Kit' which will generally include the Diagbox software.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

If you are going to by a Lexia setup make sure it has the full opto-coupler set. Some of the cheaper units available do not have the full set, and so will not work with certain vehicles. Quite a few Forum members have bough equipment from Easy Diagnostics. It is not cheap, but it has the full set, and 1 year aftercare. If you haven't got a suitable laptop computer they can also supply you with one, which will have the software already installed. They do not, however, supply the S1279 module, as they have not (yet) found a suitable supplier (IIRC they did supply the module, but had too many issues). Be aware that Easy Diagnostics regularly sell out of their Lexia equipment, which can indicate the quality.
