How do I know if my current sensor is faulty?
Symptoms of a faulty intake temperature sensor can include poor fuel economy, rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, and the illumination of the Check Engine Light.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, if you have basic automotive tools and knowledge, including a 19mm spanner. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation.
Troubleshooting
Check Engine Light (CEL) remains on after installation
Ensure the electrical connector is fully seated and locked. Double-check that the sensor was tightened correctly (not overtightened or too loose). If the issue persists, the CEL might be related to another problem, or the new sensor may be faulty; consult a mechanic.
Engine running poorly (e.g., rough idle, hesitation)
Verify the sensor is the correct part for your vehicle. Ensure no air leaks are present in the intake system near the sensor. If the problem started immediately after installation, re-check the installation steps.
Difficulty removing the old sensor
Apply a penetrating lubricant around the base of the old sensor and let it sit for a few minutes. Use the correct size 19mm spanner and apply steady, even pressure. Avoid excessive force that could damage the intake manifold.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures accurate engine performance by providing correct intake air temperature data.
- High-quality construction for reliability and extended lifespan.
- Directly compatible with specified Citroën and Peugeot OEM part numbers.
- Easy to integrate into the vehicle's existing electrical system with its 2-pin connector.
- Cost-effective solution for replacing a faulty sensor.
Cons
- Requires specific knowledge and tools (19mm spanner) for installation.
- Fitment must be verified using the make model tool or by contacting support.
- Not a universal part; limited to specific vehicle makes and models.
- Potential for incorrect installation if not performed carefully.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify fitment for your specific vehicle. Use the provided 'make model tool' on the product page or contact customer support with your vehicle's details (make, model, year, engine size) and OEM part numbers if available. Cross-reference your vehicle's requirements with OEM references CITROËN/PEUGEOT 1920C5 and 95640497.
Installation:
- Ensure the engine is off and cool.
- Locate the existing air intake temperature sensor in the intake manifold or airbox.
- Disconnect the electrical connector.
- Use a 19mm spanner to carefully unscrew and remove the old sensor.
- Clean the sensor port threads gently if necessary.
- Screw in the new CI XEMS61 sensor by hand until snug, then tighten slightly with the 19mm spanner. Do not overtighten.
- Reconnect the electrical connector securely.
- Start the engine and check for any warning lights.
Care: This is a sealed electronic component. Avoid spraying cleaning agents directly onto the sensor or its connector. Regular maintenance should focus on ensuring the air intake system is clean and free of obstructions, which indirectly protects the sensor.
