Peugeot 206 and OBD reader

Hi,

I am thinking of buying one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150232912484

I have a 2002 206 ('51 plate), but want to make sure it will work before
I buy. Is the 206 at that time fully eobd compliant - ie will I be able
to read and erase codes?

Thanks

 

I believe OBD was mandated for all EU *petrol* cars since 1st Jan 2000,
with a 1 year extension for cars already in production at that time.
So, in theory a 2002 *built* car should be fine. However, it may have
been manufactured before that point.

Also, I understand that OBD wasn't required for diesel cars until 2003
(existing) / 2004 (all).

(for petrol)
"8.1. Vehicles with positive-ignition engines

With effect from 1 January 2000 for new types and from 1 January 2001
for all types,
vehicles of category M1, except vehicles the maximum mass of which
exceeds 2 500
kg, and vehicles of category N1 class I, must be fitted with an on-board
diagnostic
(OBD) system for emission control in accordance with Annex XI."

(for diesel)
"8.2. Vehicles with compression-ignition engines

Vehicles of category M1, except
– vehicles designed to carry more than six occupants including the driver,
– vehicles whose maximum mass exceeds 2 500 kg,
from 1 January 2003 for new types and from 1 January 2004 for all types,
must be
fitted with an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system for emission control in
accordance
with Annex XI."

Thanks David.

I've gone ahead and bought it, I can always put it back on Ebay if it
doesn't work with my car.

I've had a look at my OBD pins and it appears they support ISO 9141-2,
which the reader also supports. But of course that doesn't mean it'll
output the correct info, so we'll see.

My old 306 had the right connector and pins, but didn't output the right
info for normal OBD readers. However, that was a 1998 model, so far
from likely to be compliant compared to a 2002 model.

If I remember correctly, that link I sent also suggested that you could
not register a non-compliant vehicle after that date - so maybe not just
manufactured after that date. I'd be very surprised if they left it
that late to implement it.

Good luck!

Good news is that the device works. It used the KWP2000 protocol and I
have cleared the code.

The code was p0420, which means that cat is running below efficiency
(though it could be the oxygen sensors).

Had a new exhaust fitted by KwikFit last year, so it could be their
cheap parts. I'll drive it for a while and see if the problem re-occurs.
