Strada water sensor fault

My 2006 Fiat Strada diesel has the malfunction indicator lamp on, an error stored, and the engine is running rough at 180632 km. Diagnostics point to the water sensor. Could a bad cable or plug connection be the problem?

Rough running and a check engine light? Is the light constant or flashing? Have you checked the sensor's connection? Sometimes it's just a loose wire.

The light is constant. Can you tell me what areas I should inspect on the sensor's connection, thinking about corrosion or wiring harness damage?

A constant light is not great, means the problem is consistent. If you're asking that, maybe it's best to leave it to a professional who can check the electrics properly. I would recommend a visit to the workshop.

Following your recommendation, I took it to a technician. They found a defective connection in the water sensor circuit. The repair, replacing the connector, cost 95€. It's fixed now, and the vehicle is running normally.
