Bipper solar sensor fault low heating

Hi, I have a 2010 Peugeot Bipper with a gasoline engine and I'm experiencing a weird issue. The error memory shows a solar sensor fault, and the heating output is too low. Has anyone encountered something similar? I've checked the obvious stuff, but no luck so far.

Interesting. I've got a Bipper too, and I had a similar problem last winter. The low heating output was driving me crazy. Did you check the cable and plug connection of the solar sensor? That was the culprit in my case. Is the sensor itself faulty, perhaps?

Thanks for the quick reply! I did a visual check of the cable and plug, but everything seemed fine. How did you pinpoint the cable/plug as the issue? Did you use a multimeter or something?

Yeah, I started with a visual inspection too, but it didn't reveal much. A mechanic then used a multimeter to check the continuity of the cable and found a break in one of the wires. He suggested the fault could be related to the sensor itself, but I'd advise you to just go to the workshop.

Okay, thanks for the advice! I appreciate you sharing your experience. I'll take it to a workshop and have them check the cable and plug more thoroughly. They quoted me 95€, so hopefully it will be the end of it.
