Boxer check engine light and fuel consumption

Hey, I've got a perplexing issue with my 2016 Peugeot Boxer diesel. It's done 55813 km. The check engine light is on, and it's showing a stored error. Plus, I've noticed fuel consumption has increased. Could this be an oxygen sensor thing, maybe a heater element? I checked the wiring, but could a bad plug connection cause this?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Peugeot Boxer diesel is experiencing a check engine light and increased fuel consumption, potentially due to an oxygen sensor issue, specifically the heater element. The problem might also be caused by a bad plug connection. A vacuum leak or faulty mass airflow sensor could be other possibilities. It is suggested to use an OBD2 scanner for live data and consult a workshop to confirm and possibly replace the oxygen sensor.

Sounds like a possible oxygen sensor issue, given the symptoms. Increased fuel consumption and the check engine light are common. Before you replace it, have you thought about a vacuum leak or a faulty mass airflow sensor? Have you checked the sensor's voltage output?

A vacuum leak hadn't occurred to me. Regarding the sensor's voltage output, what's the expected range, and where can I find that info? Will a standard OBD2 scanner give me enough data, or am I missing something?

A vacuum leak is possible, but the error code points to the oxygen sensor heater circuit. An OBD2 scanner should give you live data. Given the likely cause is a defective connection and the repair is about 95€, get a workshop to confirm and replace the sensor.

I appreciate the guidance. I'll book an appointment with a workshop to check the oxygen sensor. Thanks!
