Ecu Update

[sifaan]

Hi!

 

My car has problems cold starting (usually needs to be cranked 2-3 times to start), and this is supposedly a problem with all C5s (a grand total of 6) in Sri Lanka. In any case, I've replaced (at various points over the last 9 months) fuel pump, fuel filter, oil + oil filter, air filter and the problem still persists.

 

Recently I discovered (from Citroen DocBackup+Sedre) that there has been an ECU update issued by Citroen way back in 2003; not sure if the local "agent" has it because they are no longer supported by Citroen (they still have the Proxia unit, hydropneaumatic testing unit, etc. but no longer get updates, training etc)

 

Is there anyway to track down this update?

 

Thanks

Into the ECU, download the "Flash Eprom" software contained in update CD 28.

The "Flash Eprom" software is available on the After-Sales download server.

The identification zone of the ECU after downloading is :

Delete the faults in the ECU memory.

Using the diagnostic tool, program the autoadaptives.

Before switching off the ignition completely, start the engine and wait for a few seconds so as to reset the idle stepper motor.
