Fiat 500 check engine light water sensor

My 2009 Fiat 500 diesel (176385 km) has an intermittent check engine light, stored error code, and occasional rough running. Could a defective water sensor cable or plug be the cause? Anyone else seen similar sensor fault symptoms?

I had a similar malfunction indicator issue with my 500. Was the error code specifically pointing to the water sensor? Have you tried visually inspecting the sensor and its wiring harness for damage or corrosion? A car sensor issue can cause all sorts of problems.

The error code specifies the water sensor. Where on the wiring should I focus, and how can I test the sensor without special equipment?

My fault was hard to trace. I suggest you go to your local mechanic. The repair shouldn't be more than 95€.

I'll schedule a workshop appointment for diagnosis and probable water sensor replacement. Thanks!
