Partner Electric Temperature Sensor Issues

I've got a head-scratcher with my 2021 Peugeot Partner Electric. It has almost 100k km. Recently, I've been getting an error related to the outside temperature sensor, and it's messing with everything! The air conditioning refuses to kick in, the spray nozzles are frozen even when it's not that cold, and the mirror heating is just MIA. Think it could be a dodgy sensor? Anyone else had similar issues? Any ideas where to start?

The symptoms you describe are consistent with a malfunctioning outside temperature sensor. Given the error code and associated issues, it's plausible that the cable or plug connection to the sensor is defective. Before considering sensor replacement, a thorough inspection of the wiring and connector is advisable.

Thanks for the quick reply! When you say 'thorough inspection', what exactly should I be looking for? Any specific signs of damage or corrosion I should keep an eye out for? Is sensor calibration necessary after a possible sensor replacement?

When inspecting the wiring, look for any signs of fraying, cuts, or general wear. Check the connector for bent or corroded pins. Corrosion can often appear as a white or greenish deposit. While sensor replacement is the more common solution, further diagnostics by a qualified technician are recommended to prevent recurring malfunction. You should visit a workshop for resolving this issue.

Great, I appreciate the detailed advice! I'll give the wiring and connector a close look first, but sounds like a trip to the shop is inevitable. I got it fixed today, as you already suggested. They replaced the sensor, and it cost 95€. All issues gone now, thank you so much!
