Peugeot 207 Engine Power Loss

Hi. My 2009 Peugeot 207, diesel engine, has an issue. Mileage is 224314 km. It's lost engine power and the error memory has a fault stored. Suspect a defective engine control unit, maybe the main relay. Any ideas?

I had something similar with my 207. Reduced power, error codes popping up. Did you check the basics like battery voltage and sensor connections? Could be a simple fix before you dive into the ECU.

Thanks for the tip. Battery seems fine, and I visually checked the easily accessible sensor connections. Anything specific you'd recommend checking on the ECU side?

Honestly, without proper diagnostic tools, poking around the ECU is risky. My issue turned out to be the main relay in the ECU, but I only found that out at the workshop. You could try a system reset, but I'd advise going to a specialist. Cost me about 120€ to get it sorted.

Appreciate the info. Took it to a mechanic, and you were spot on - main relay in the ECU was the culprit. Replaced it, and all good now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
