What is engine designation code from your VIN. Digit positions 6,7,8. Example 9HZ, 5FV, RHH, etc.

Think it might be MAP Sensor, do you happen to have DTC code for the sensor you are planning to replace ?

Here is all the sensors/equipment involved in successful start/running of the engine
Peugeot (ssg.asia)

 

I'm sorry I don't know - the diagnostics brings up - 'Inlet Air Temperature Sensor Signal. Short circuit to positive or open circuit.....
I have been advised the sensor therefore needs changing?

 

An Open/Short circuit, tends to mean either, a wiring issue from ECU to the sensor itself or the sensor (itself). Your odds are not in favour of it being the sensor itself until testing says so, but there is no harm in trying this first, just may be replacing one that works correctly and won't fix the issue.
I could give you testing if you provide DTC and can use multimeter.

 

Where do I find the DTC?

 

Well, your diagnostics device should provide the code. There is chance, if is not Lexia or equal device that not reading all the codes or displaying them incorrectly as well.

The DTC code would Pxxxx, with xxxx being numbers. Unlikely to be Uxxxx DTC, but possible.

 

Frustratingly the picture of the diagnostics I have does not include the code! I am hoping to have the diagnostics redone within the next day or two so will get back to you.

Thanks for your time much appreciated.

 

No problem, you try cleaning the sensor mentioned in the first post, and make observation of the wiring harness associated and condition of the electrical pins when you disconnect it, might be enough to fix the issue or see an issue.
