Grandeur diesel water sensor issue

I'm having trouble with my 2008 Hyundai Grandeur diesel. The check engine light keeps popping up, and the code reader shows an error related to the water sensor. The engine is running pretty rough. I've checked the basics, fluids are okay, but I'm not sure where to start with the sensor. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2008 Hyundai Grandeur diesel is experiencing a check engine light and rough engine performance, with a diagnostic code indicating a water sensor issue. The problem may be caused by a faulty cable or plug connection at the sensor, potentially due to corrosion or damage. It is suggested to inspect the connector for any visible issues, and if unresolved, seek professional assistance to prevent further complications with the fuel injection system.

Oh, I feel your pain! I had something similar happen with my Grandeur. Same symptoms, check engine light and rough running. Have you checked the cable and plug connection to the sensor? That’s often the culprit. Sometimes those connections get corroded or loose, causing all sorts of weird electrical issues.

Thanks for the tip! When you say 'cable and plug connection', are we talking about the connector right at the sensor itself? Is there anything specific I should look for, besides corrosion? I'm not super familiar with auto electronics, so any pointers would be great.

Yes, I am referring to the connector directly at the sensor. Look closely for any signs of damage to the wires themselves, sometimes the insulation can crack or fray. If you're not comfortable messing with it, I'd strongly suggest taking it to a workshop. I did that, and it turned out to be exactly that cable issue. Cost me about 95€ to fix, but worth it to avoid further problems! A faulty water sensor can mess up the whole fuel injection system.

Thanks so much for the advice! I'll check the cable and plug connection at the sensor like you suggested, but if I don't see anything obvious, I'll probably just take it to a workshop. I appreciate you sharing your experience!
