hi


My girlfriend has a 2004 Peugeot 206... something with a 1.0 or 1.1 liter gasoline engine... a real gas guzzler... well, whatever. The thing is, the check engine light has been on almost constantly for about 9 months. The car runs fine, as always, without any issues or noticeable problems when the light is on.


The problem is that the workshop won't start working on it for less than €80, and the last two times they ran diagnostics (before my time), nothing came up (it's probably a loose connection). I don't want to waste any more money without getting any results.


I have an 'old' KKL interface for RS232 (like the one from the shop... a square box with a switch and 4 LEDs for DIY projects) and a new OBD cable from Rosstech, but unfortunately, the new cable doesn't support KKL. With the old interface, I can only test the communication or OBD support in the free VAGcom version. However, with the VAGcom version for the new cable, it seems not to work because of the missing K-line?


hat einer vieleicht ne Idee welche einfache gratis Software bei dem Hobel die Fehlercodes rausdrückt?? icon_smile.gif


Sincerely,

Marc.

Hello.

Well, hu+au received the package three weeks ago. I guess that wasn't quite right, but whatever.

Due to my psychic abilities, I asked here about software that would allow me to 'get to the bottom of' icon_smile.gif the issue with my device... my VCDS doesn't work (it's partly shareware, partly a faulty cable...). } I understand that without an error message, it's clear that no one here can give me an answer... } but if I had one, I could probably fix the problem myself.


Sorry for the text, it's from my phone...

Huh?! Wasn't there a post here just a moment ago?? Oh well, it doesn't matter icon_smile.gif

Hello,

The kit can support K1 and L/K2 lines, which isn't the problem. I think if anything is possible, it would be through OBD2. Check if version 409.1 is compatible with your hardware; I don't even remember if it already has the OBD2 button.

Best regards, Rainer.

"206 models produced after the 2004 facelift are OBD2 compatible. They can be identified externally by their clear headlights and other taillights, and internally by the thicker indicator, light, and windshield wiper stalks, as well as a flat, compact remote control for the radio. A simple controller from a hardware store is sufficient for reading the data. First, read the data, and then you can proceed."

Hi there.

Okay. I thought the hardware might be able to do it... I tried with some 3.xx version, and it only tested the OBD functionality, which seemed okay... but I can't read any data. I'll try to get the RPOer today and see if that works... Is it possible to exchange the 'expensive' original Rosstech cables (without a K-line) for one with a K-line, perhaps with an extra charge?

Vendors are asking where you got the "original Rosstech cable" from.

Exchange at my place:
- if the goods are mine.
- if it has not been used at all, or hardly at all, meaning the condition is like NEW.
- if less than 3 months have passed since the purchase.

Upgrade to other hardware:
- if the goods are mine.

Please provide the details via private message/email, including the customer data.

Best regards, Rainer.

hiho


Okay, it took a while, but that sometimes happens... I've now got VAGCOM 409 and tried it again with the old adapter cable... Diagnostics on VW vehicles only work if I click the OBDII button; otherwise, I just get what's shown in the picture.


What's not working? Or why isn't it outputting anything anywhere? It seems like the OBD system itself is working, though?


Sincerely,


Marc.

Hello,

This VAG-COM freeware from 2004 only checks whether OBD-2 would work.
It seems that only the later versions supported OBD-2. VCDS definitely supports it, though.

Der Sinn eine Freeware von 2004 zu supporten ist aber ganz sicher nicht gegeben. icon_wink.gif
If you want to proceed with OBD-2, click on the link at the bottom of the signature...

Best regards, Rainer.

Hello,
I have a "VCDS/OBD2 diagnostic system KKL+CAN" from 2015, and I have been using it without any problems since then.
The adapter is labeled "HEX-USB+CAN".
Can I use this adapter to read the error codes from, for example, a Peugeot vehicle that uses OBD2?
And if it's possible, which program should I use for that?
Thank you and best regards, Michael.

Hi,

You can try the OBD2 button in VCDS.

Best regards, Rainer.

Thank you for your feedback! Knowing the year of construction would have been helpful.

Hello,
The same thing didn't work with the 2008/9 Peugeot 206.

Hello everyone.

I've already tried this on a Renault Megane 1.9 dci, year 2005, and it didn't work. It also doesn't work on a Citroen C5 2.2 HDI, first series.

BMW, Alfa, Fiat, and Ford are all addressing issues related to emissions.

The French, or rather their cars, are probably somewhat "unique" and are not compatible with VCDS.

Even the universal testers, which cost around 50€, don't work with most French cars, although they can read and erase data from almost all other brands.
We need extra equipment for the 3 French cars, costing around €100. Google provides a good selection when searching for "OBD diagnostics Renault Peugeot."

Regards, Mpire.
