Peugeot 306 1.8 Meridian STOP light

[Tim Rogers]

The last couple of days I have noticed the STOP light just above the steering wheel coming on.

I have checked the Oil level and that is fine.

I have also noticed that the radiator fan seems to stay on for a few minutes after I have stopped (although it has been quite warm recently) although the temp has not really gone up much. The Air Con has recently packed up though (new condenser apparently needed??)

So is this STOP light just a fluke or the sign of something more serious.

The stoplight is linked to a number of engine sensors, oil pressure, water level,anti lock failure, low pressure in air con are a few. You usually get the stop light + another light i.e.. oil pressure. If the air con has recently packed up this is likely the cause. Turn off the air con or if it is one with climate control adjust the cab temperature to the outside temperature so the air con does not try to come on. This should cure the light. After thought the stop light should come on as a test before the engine is started.

Check the brake and steering fluid levels. These are both monitored.

We had a very similar issue with a meridian on a V plate. Tunred out to be a bad connection somewhere in the tempererature sensor wiring causing the stop light to come on and the aircon to not work. It went away for a while when I cleaned (i.e. fiddled with) every connector I could find under the bonnet, but the garage tracked it down in the end.
