Error (0) is hardware related, it may be the Network Card absence or wrong Hard Disk Controller setting in the BIOS (AHCI vs IDE or Legacy). Ensure it is set to IDE (not SCSI nor AHCI or Raid)..

Regardless of how new is your computer, I think you should find network card driver, find the Hardware Id (Device Manager, right click on the device, Properties, Details, Property, Hardware Id, copy the Value and stick it in Google.

But if all fails, you could install Windows 8.1 or 10 64 bit, then install Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Player, upon which you install Windows XP. The rest is history...

Well I managed to install a generic driver for the ethernet card.. aint no luck for the wireless tough..
Regardless the driver issues, I got the diagbox 7.57 installed up and running.

Am I supposed to be connected to internet while running the diag tool?
Even if it is a clone interface it can search the internet for any data? such vehicle info during autodetection? (I have no internet connection in that laptop at all)

When I connect to the OBDII it can read the VIN number, but it does not communicate with any of the ECUs.
To be honest I'm not sure which car I shall select... The vehicle is a C4 "Pallas" (given name in south america :P) It seems to be the same than the C4 Sedan or the C-Triomphe.. (same pic)

Trying the diagbox interface there's no communication at all.
Trying as the C-Triomphe and using the LEXIA interface at the first times still no communication.. At some point (one of my hundreds shots..) it communicates with 2 ECUs of the list, but I cant read any faults... when I select to read it it says its impossible to communicate to the ECU..

I can listen a relay switching in the interface..
It seems to me the connector is loose somehow... There is such a play in the connection... Although there is no bent pin...

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

You don't need to be connected to the internet to use the device...

You need the correct RPO number for proper communication. This is a 4 or 5 digit number below the tyre pressure at the driver door which signify the manufacturing date. If you have the manufacturing date of your car (you don't have to be very accurate), you can deduce it using this tool:
http://www.cats-citroen.net/citroen/organumber.html
13203 will give you Jan 1 2013 and 13567 will give Dec 31 2013. Notice that it is a daily counter 18, you work your number out now..
This number signify the components used in building the car. Hence, the above will work if Latin America's production is identical to Europe and they don't use alternatives (in which case you could try a Peugeot equivalent) or chance a different number...

Of course, you could have a faulty device, but you can try it on a different Citroen or Peugeot model before going down that rout.

Hi Simple,

I was looking my wife's citroen (2012 C3 model)...
It has a sticker (below tyre pressures) like this:

129077
810011
EWPA

(note that all are 6 digit numbers)

So, shall I type the RPO when it asks for the VIN code?

I will try my C4 tomorrow...
Btw, my dad has a Peugeot 206 (2005 model) but the sticker was removed..

Thanks for your support again.

Is your wife's car made in "March 11, 2012" ?? As I mentioned, it is 4 or 5 numbers.. the first four or five numbers..
Hence her car's RPO is :12907...

And no, you don't type the RPO when it asks for the VIN, it should read the VIN automatically, the VIN is 17 Character/Digit number... But you can also type it if you wish.. If you click on the icon (little car drawing with "?"), it should read the VIN and Identify the care make and model..

RPO 9550 = January 1, 2003 and RPO 9915 = January 1, 2004 (9915-9550=365 days/year). You can work forward and backward now..

Lets take your wife's car, from Jan 1 2003 (9550) to Mar 11 2012 (xxxxx) is 9 years + 71 days (approx considering leap), which = 9550 + (9*365+71) = 9550 + 3356 = 12906... So the (xxxxx) RPO for 11 March 2012 is:12906.

Now, considering that Citroen makes changes to a model once every few years, any RPO number that represent that configuration model should work. So, if we assume that model was not changed in all of 2012, then any number between 12837 (1.1.2012) and 13202 (31.12.2012) should work.

For your dad's car, If we assume it was made mid 2005, then Based on the above, (9550 + (365+365+182))= 10462 should be safe enough RPO, you could try 10462 +/- 90 ..

In order to not having all diagbox processes open in memory until the moment i start diagbox, i have disabled its windows start commands, stopped and changed its services to manual and made a .cmd file to start diagbox, this way:

1. run > msconfig > start tab > disable ediagstart + psaagent + simbat > accept > don't restart yet

2. run > services.msc > stop these services and change them to manual: Firebird Guardian + Firebird Server + Serial Port Splitter service

3. run > notepad > copy/paste next lines and save file as .cmd so that you can start it all:

C:\APP\firebird\bin\fbguard.exe -s
C:\APP\firebird\bin\fbserver.exe -s
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ftspssrv.exe
C:\APP\ediag\eDiagStart.lnk
C:\APP\ddc\bin\psastart.exe C:\APP\ddc\bin\psaagent.exe
C:\APP\SIM\SIMBat.lnk
C:\AWRoot\bin\launcher\LctPOLUX.exe


alternatively you can move the created .cmd file to c:\ and create a shortcut to it in the desktop, rename it to diagbox and then change its icon taking it from the file at c:\AWRoot\bin\launcher\LctPOLUX.exe

restart computer and try, not responsible if diagbox gets corrupted and need reinstall, for me it is working great.

Hí to all,

I have problem with Diagbox version V-7.xx
First installation is Ok, no problem .
I update 7.02 to 7.57 and 7.60 , all working good.
Now, if I update 7.60 up + it stop, not works anymore !!!!

Message is
WARNING !!!!
" DATA ACCESS PROBLEM "
diagbox is stopped.

How do I solve this problem ?
Windows XP sp3 32-bit

[manocao]

Install vc++2008sp1 redistributable, .net 3.5sp1, java 6 or higher

[galaxia]

Install vc++2008sp1 redistributable, .net 3.5sp1, java 6 or higher

Ok Manocao, install Java 6 or 7 ?
Ok, but I have vas-5054 installed in the same PC !!!!

thanks for the info.

[manocao]

I got java 6.45, i think java actually not needed, diagbox has its own java
i think it won't interfere with vas
first try vc++ and net3.5sp1, not 4
