Hi All,

I bought the above unit from amazon. I have managed to connect it to my torque app on my phone but for some reason it cannot detect any fault codes. I know there are faults as these are being flashed flashed on small dashboard. I have tried another obd2 device and getting the same issue. Why would that be?

Hi

What faults do you have flashing on the small dashboard?

I got gearbox fault and faults with rear tail light which keeps on flashing. I know the cause of the lights fault but was interested in the issues with the gearbox .

OBD2 won't connect to the gearbox ECU or even the BSI/BSM (lights).

For those faults you need to use Lexia diag tool because OBD or Torque doesn't know how to communicate with the Citroen C3 sensodrive gearbox ECU.

Info about lexia here.
