Abrites Diagnostics for Peugeot/Citroën

The ABRITES diagnostics for Peugeot/Citroën is a very competent diagnostic software which is used together with the ABRITES Vehicle Diagnostic Interface (AVDI) in order to perform vehicle diagnostics as well as advanced diagnostics on Peugeot and Citroën vehicles. The ABRITES Diagnostics for Peugeot/Citroën (PSA) is designed to provide an OEM and higher level of diagnostics at a fraction of the cost.

The ABRITES Diagnostics for Peugeot/Citroën (PSA) is one of the most progressive and forward placed aftermarket diagnostic solutions to diagnosing Peugeot/Citroën (PSA) vehicles in the world. Standard diagnostic functions can be performed online over three separate protocols - K-line, CAN and UDS, completely by OBDII. Standard diagnostic capabilities include:

• Reading and clearing of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), acquire full details of when and under what circumstances they occurred and remove them after the problem which caused them has been resolved
• Live values monitoring from all electronic modules and sensors using graph and table view
• Actuator testing - activating and deactivating various actuators on demand in order to properly determine the cause of each fault
• Module identification
• BSI - Service interval reset, clear faults log, verify/set PIN, virginize
• Change ID in BSI, Telematics, Airbag, MDS
• Clear crash data in some Airbag modules by DUMP (offline)

The ABRITES Diagnostics for Peugeot/Citroën (PSA) covers All CAN and UDS Peugeot/Citroën (PSA) vehicles as well as many K-line vehicles, however the focus of the software remains on the latest vehicles produced by the French manufacturer.

You will need a basic AVDI software package and Annual Maintenance subscription in order to use the ABRITES Diagnostics for Peugeot/Citroën (PSA).

The PIN Manager allows you to read the PIN code from the BSI or ECU units in Peugeot and Citroen vehicles, and use it to program keys for models 2016+. With the newest iteration of the PIN Manager software license PN020 you can now read PIN codes and program keys to PSA vehicles faster and easier than before. Using the PN020 (containing the full functionality of the legacy PN018 license), BSI and ECU modules can be replaced with new or used ones.

• PIN code reading from BSI or Engine Control Unit
• Key programming (HT-AES)
• Emergency start

The PIN code is retrieved by using the ZN094 key emulator, which can consequently be used for emergency start in All Keys Lost situations, in order to start and drive the vehicle to the nearest workshop. 

The latest Abrites software for Peugeot and Citroen vehicles, the PN021 license, allows adjusting the mileage in:

• BCCM module (combined module of BSI and IC) and disables airbag synchronization (by OBD)
• VSM module (by EEPROM dump) and by RH850 Programmer the mileage in the navigation unit

Using this license, you can also read/write ConfData and perform direct PIN read/change of HCU1 module in Peugeot 508 Hybrid4.
The complete functionality of the legacy PN017 license is included in the PN021.

The Peugeot/Citroën Built-in System Interface is a control module, essential to the vehicles. It controls a large amount of the vehicle's operation. Given its many tasks this module is very susceptible to failure. The cost of a new module and the main dealer prices for an exchange of a failed BSI is normally high, the BSI exchange special function provides a cost effective way out for the customer, allowing a repair shop to adapt a second-hand BSI in just a few clicks. The BSI exchange feature allows you to read and store the data of one BSI and transfer it to another. It is extremely important to use the same hardware when exchanging.

For Valeo UDS 2012+ and Continental UDS 2010+ you can directly read/update ConfData.

The ABRITES Diagnostics for Peugeot/ Citroen offers advanced diagnostic functions. One of them is EEPROM and FLASH reading from the ECUs of the supported models. Reading and modifying mileage in the dashboard, as well as calibration of various modules is made possible with ABRITES automotive software solutions.

• Reading, saving and updating the engine control unit's (ECU) ConfData and flash
• PIN code reading
• Cluster calibration
• IMMO OFF and after sales preparation of the unit –in order to be used in another vehicle
• Updating ECU service lists

There is also a visualisation available of the error history from the Engine control units, useful when performing maintenance, general servicing or rebuilds.

The ABRITES software for Peugeot and Citroën also gives the opportunity to match virgin Engine Control Units to BSI modules, which is invaluable when it comes to module adaptation.

And last, but not least, clearing of the error history for some models Service Zero Reset (a.k.a. Oil reset) for all CAN protocol supporting models. Supported models are all models using the following electronic control units: EDC15, EDC16, EDC17, SID201, SID801, SID801A, SID802, SID803, SID803A, SID804, SID806.
