Are you looking to diagnose issues with your Citroen yourself? Using an OBD2 scanner is a smart way to understand your car’s health and potentially save money on garage visits. It’s essential to ensure the scanner you choose is compatible with your Citroen model. Thousands of OBD2-compliant vehicles have been successfully tested with scanners like Klavkarr, and we’re here to help you determine if yours is one of them.

Choosing the Best Citroen Diagnostic Scanner
Modern Citroen vehicles are packed with sophisticated electronics. These systems enhance safety, comfort, and efficiency, but they also mean that troubleshooting can be more complex. That’s where an effective OBD2 diagnostic tool becomes invaluable. It allows you to quickly pinpoint the source of any problems your vehicle might be experiencing.
An OBD2 scanner works by reading error codes generated by your car’s computer when it detects an issue. These codes can then be used to identify the specific component or system that is malfunctioning. Investing in a Klavkarr OBD2 scanner can pay for itself after just one use, compared to the cost of a single diagnostic check at a professional garage!
Is My Citroen OBD2 Compatible? Check Here
Thanks to feedback from our community of users, we’ve compiled a compatibility list. This extensive database includes 4601 tested vehicles, covering 12195 different Citroen configurations.
It’s important to remember that the European On-Board Diagnostics (EOBD) standard mandates OBD2 compatibility for all gasoline vehicles sold in Europe since 2001 and diesel vehicles since 2004. You can find more detailed information in our OBD presentation.
With a compatible Citroen diagnostic scanner, you have the power to clear those dashboard warning lights yourself, without needing to visit a mechanic. These warnings are triggered by your car’s Engine Control Units (ECUs) when they detect faults, and these are exactly what an OBD2 scanner can read and interpret.
Generally, all gasoline Citroen vehicles from 2001 onwards and diesel Citroen vehicles from 2004 onwards are OBD2 compliant, even if your specific model isn’t explicitly listed below.
Please note: This list is for informational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee compatibility for vehicles manufactured before the full implementation of the EOBD standard.

Common OBD2 Fault Codes in Citroen Vehicles
Here are some of the most frequently recorded OBD fault codes in Citroen vehicles, based on data from users of Klavkarr and similar multibrand diagnostic scanners:
(For certain codes, we have created helpful tutorials to guide you through the repair process)
- P1351: Indicates an issue with the O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction, Bank 2 Sensor 1. This could point to problems with the oxygen sensor itself or its heating circuit, affecting fuel efficiency and emissions.
- P0409: Signals a problem with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor A Circuit Malfunction. The EGR system reduces NOx emissions, and this code may indicate a faulty EGR sensor or circuit issue.
- P0490: Suggests a Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Control Circuit High fault. This could mean the EGR valve control circuit is experiencing high voltage, potentially due to wiring or component issues.
- P0420: Points to a Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold, Bank 1. This common code often indicates that the catalytic converter is not working as efficiently as it should, possibly due to age or damage.
- P0238: Indicates a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor A Circuit High Input. A high voltage reading from the MAP sensor could be due to a sensor fault or wiring problem, impacting engine performance.
- P0230: Signals a Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction. This code suggests a problem with the fuel pump’s primary electrical circuit, which could lead to fuel delivery issues and engine starting problems.
