Peugeot 407 ECU Error

I'm having a weird issue with my 2008 Peugeot 407 diesel. It's got about 150k km on it. Getting reduced engine power and a fault code in the error memory pointing towards the engine control unit. I've done a system reset, checked basic connections, but no luck. Anyone experienced similar ECU issues?

Sounds familiar. I had similar symptoms on my old Opel Astra – different car, I know – but the problem turned out to be a faulty main relay. It was messing with the voltage to the ECU.

Interesting. The main relay, huh? Where was that located on the Astra, and did you have any other warning lights?

On the Astra, it was in the engine compartment fuse box. No other lights, just the reduced power and the ECU error. Check the relay, but honestly, with ECU errors, a workshop visit might be best to properly diagnose it.

It was indeed the main relay. Replaced it and everything is fine again. The whole thing cost me 120€. Appreciate the help!
