306 - External Temp sensor

Discussion in 'Peugeot 306' started by Stuart Palmer, Jan 6, 2005.

  1. Hi everyone,

    The other day I posted a few questions about some electrical probs with my
    306, thx to those who replied.

    I need to more specific info on howto test the sensor, to work out if it's
    dead or if it's a loom problem (PLEASE NO!)

    What kind of resistance/voltage should I expect to see across the sensor?

    I have a feeling about my rear heater window I have some kind of short as
    it's dropping to about 2V when I have the load (element) in the circuit.

    Thx for any technical advise in advance

    Stu

    Never measured it, sorry, but this is quite a common problem, and it is
    normally the sensor element. Just change it.
    Can I refer you back to the reply I gave to your previous post.

    Hello,

    Did you find out the resistance/voltage? I also have problem with engine
    temperature on my 306.

    I called Peugeot dealer and was told the temperature sensor is designed
    for 5V, but when I asked which one the dealer could not answer.

    By the way, the gauge on my car started showing wrong temperature. I
    checked the engine, it has normal temperature. Can this be because of the
    temperature sensor or it is a faulty gause? When I tried to test sensors I
    found one green and one blue sensors. If it is sensor's fault, which one in
    your opinion is faulty?

    Regards,
