I have just had same fault P0096 Only the Check injection system light was on (solid). I have fitted the Bosch part which was identical to the one already fitted. Light has gone out straight away without even using my diagnostic tool! Brilliant detailed video very well explained, Thanks so much.

[@diydaly]

Nice one , glad it’s helped 👍👍

[@justbecausenootherreason]

Thank you for the video, appreciate it!

[@pjneale]

Finally got time this weekend to seeing if I could spot anything and did notice that the earth clamp on the battery had slid up on the taper so it wasn’t actually clamped tight more like just resting. Pushed back down and clamped up. Hopefully thats all it was!

[@diydaly]

Are nice one! nice cheap fix then lol.. hopefully that's all it was

[@pjneale]

Very helpful video! I don’t suppose you’ve had one of these vans in that randomly wont start and i mean completely dead no interior light, no dash light no central locking nothing. Then if you leave it for a bit it is all fine again. Also get random warnings whilst drive like check abs and check oil level for example and sometimes the steering can go abit jerky. Then can go for weeks with none of these issues before they may start again.

[@diydaly]

Thanks for the comment! im afraid not, sound an odd fault, likely to be a bad connection or corroded wiring

[@biosbank1]

Nice and clear… good work 👍

[@diydaly]

Thanks 👍

[@carcontrolcommitment]

I had this issue p0096 on a Nissan Xtrail. I found that the replacement sensor only worked for a few trips then the fault came back. It’s linked to the cruise control not working . I tested the sensor via a heat gun and a multimeter and found it still worked, however it was getting clogged with oil. So I cleaned the inlet pipe and then deep cleaned the EGR, refitted the old IAT and now it works and has continued to work for a year. The trigger is likely extensive idling clogging the sensor and EGR soot build up. HTH.

Great videos mate. Very helpful 👍🏼🙏🏼

Hi I’ve got 2 massage on dash 1,check injection system 2,check anti pollution So I did change my glow plug but this 2 message still there And now in obd P0471 Exhaust Pressure Sensor Circuit P1641 Coolant Heater Control Module Control Circuit Now I don’t know what to do

[@snx9419]

Thanks for this great video. I have the same fault, bought the sensor, have tried to fit but the bolt was so corroded the snapped/twisted off. Will need tapping out, but can you advise on the replacement bolt required ? Cheers

[@diydaly]

Arr noo , yeah should just be a standard 6mm threaded boot if I remember right 👍

[@jamierosindell4581]

I’ve just had the same happen to mine.. any ideas on fixing size

[@ChrisNewton-vk9ud]

Hi mate, I've got check anti pollution, egr changed, egr cooler changed and now forage saying wiring harness. I took a gamble on that sensor and fitted one, no change though, I only have obd II reader so don't know if rhay will reset it. Where are you based?

[@mraishios]

Hi thanks for video I have vauxhall vivaro 1.6l 2019 .I had problem with check anti ibolotion system On dash board. After I changed oile it done. But back again after 6000 miles. I changed oile 4 days ago but still lights come on. I digonistic some time given engine oile ditroraited and Ash in dpf I clear codes but still come on.

[@patrickschindler4442]

Bonjour, quelqu'un sait où se trouve le capteur de température d'admission d'air sur une Renault Mégane 3 Phase 2 de 2013 moteur k9k ? J'ai ce défaut sur boîtier obd mais je ne sais pas où il se trouve.Si vous avez des infos je suis preneur.D'avance Merci 👍🙏👍

[@MrTamHare]

Can this fault be found with a budget odb2 tool?

[@steveroberts7936]

Hiya found your vids excellent information , I have a same issue with 2015 Vauxhall movano is that sensor also on my van ? I have changed the one in MAS

[@diydaly]

They do have a similar sensor on the movano

[@andywilliamson3442]

Great vid I've just ordered mine will let you know if fixes the problem also new subscriber :-)

[@diydaly]

Nice one! Thanks for the sub!

[@Geoffinfinity]

Excellent videos subbed 👍👍

[@diydaly]

👍 thanks

[@Landy90IOM]

Great videos, have you ever noticed if these vivaros suffer badly from blowby? Just purchased a 2014 and noticed quite a bit of smoke coming from the oil filler cap when removed when running, and also a small amount leaking from the bottom of the filler hose with a film of oil around there

[@diydaly]

Thanks for the comment mate , yeah seen that abit.. done a few turbos and egr valve on them now too 😬

[@retrorecordings]

I have a 2017 1.6 biturbo and it does the same from the first day. It’s part of the Euro6 specs added to this engine. Something like sprayed oil on the top, at the valve cover for better lubrication. I know it sounds not too trustworthy but i guess that i read it somewhere

[@hamzahkhan4664]

Yeah got my own vivaro 66 plate, same issue with the blow by

[@ianwilliamson512]

Hi I’ve recently got the light on dash thought it was something to do with ad blue. Van seems to run fine only intermittently goes low on power but then seems to clear out. Was this similar instance with this van thanks ian

[@diydaly]

You’ll really need to read the fault codes First mate

[@Castlejets]

Is this called a Intake Air Temperature Sensor?

[@diydaly]

yes it is mate

[@flatoutjosh]

My fault comes up “DF969 AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT IMPLAUSABLE” But all the symptoms are the same as this, even to deleting fault and it reappears 5 mins down the road Is it the same sensor please??

[@diydaly]

Hmm I’m not 100% sure tbh

[@kevindarwood8733]

Very helpful

[@diydaly]

👍👍

[@VeeDuggie89]

Thanks for your video. I have a 2015 model and now and again the warning sign comes on saying 'stop' or something similar. I've done the usual google diagnosis and there was a suggestion there could be a leak in the system somewhere. Is this something you have encountered or can possibly provide any solution to please?

[@diydaly]

There’s quite a few issues that will cause that warning to come up , you’ll really need to code scan first and see what faults are logged

[@unit1online321]

Just wondering if you've ever experienced over fueling due to this sensor ? Had fault code for the intake sensor which I have just swapped however still excessive smoke / diesel coming out the exhaust. I haven't cleared the code as of yet though.

[@diydaly]

Is it black smoke ? You may have a split pipe if so

[@grahamjohnston2900]

Hi DIYDALY Can i ask you real quick, have you taken the water coolant temp sensor out on that same van? we have a 2016 and are having trouble finding it. Can you direct us real quick please? thank you

[@diydaly]

Hi graham! I really can't think where they are located without checking! shame I didnt see this message earlier as we have the engine out of a 17 plate at the minute!

[@tomsurrey2252]

It's under the drivers' wingmirror!! You'll see a little bump type thing... change the wingmirror... hope this helps others!!

[@EllisUsher]

Is this the same sensor that measures the outside air temperature which is displayed on the dash?

[@diydaly]

No this is a different sensor mate p

[@amjedmahmood8324]

Great can we get the temperature sensor push in plug as on mine one wire is broken

[@diydaly]

You might need to get a second hand plug , dont think they sell them separate

[@iankennedy1019]

Hi. My manifold air temp is saying 20 degrees all the time. I’ve fitted a new map sensor like the one in your video but still reading 20 degrees. The temp part of the maf reads ok. Any ideas? Cheers.

[@diydaly]

You may need to check the wiring , I don’t think 20 degrees will be a default setting but it is possible

[@jfox1992]

Hi Ian. Mine also says 20 degrees all the time. Did you manage to change that? I'm not sure if it's just a diag tool issue tbh. As I say a channel say Intake Temp 1, Intake Temp 2 and these seems fine. Not convinced tho.

[@ChrisAddis]

What is the anti pollution fault for code for 70H/112?

[@diydaly]

not sure what you mean by 70H & 112 mate?

[@ChrisAddis]

@diydaly that's what's displayed....its a new one on me. Its going into the dealership end of the month...Will post what it is when I know.

[@diydaly]

@@ChrisAddis 👍 yeah I’d be interested to know , not come across that before

[@jameskirkwood69]

Hi, my van is the same changed the sensor but don't have the machine to reset / clear the fault... is there any other way to clear fault... many thanks

[@diydaly]

No I’m afraid not mate .. I will definitely need doing through the diagnostic port 👍

[@joeltarrartistblacksmith]

I have the fuel injection & air pollution messages but my cruise control also doesn't work & seems somehow associated. Is there a logical reason why the problems would be linked?

[@diydaly]

Upstream turbo pressure sensor pipe will be split and blowing or the pipes blocked solid , common issue mate

[@joeltarrartistblacksmith]

@@diydaly thanks for the advice

[@diydaly]

@@joeltarrartistblacksmith 👍

[@carllivesey4015]

New sensor seems to have solved issue,time will tell i guess Renault traffic 1.6 2014 £37 from GSF

[@Slippyshortz89]

Vauxhall vivaro 2015 ..DF002 .. Flow Regulation Adaptive ? Can anyone tell me what sensor that is ? Thanks

[@diydaly]

Not sure on that one tbh

[@deanshort4030]

I asked garage change this but didn't I have same fault on dash but code on diagnostic was P0402 but I was told change air temp sensor with mine being intimitant would I need clear anything if I just change part I have been losing power also

[@diydaly]

It may self clear after some time from the dash but I’d say the fault will remain stored in the ecu ..

[@deanshort4030]

Hi do you know what the fault code no is I added as they saying egr hi pressure and low pressure needs changed

[@diydaly]

@@deanshort4030 it’s hard to say as p0402 is a flow code , it could be either causing the issue.. that’s why they’ll want to do both .. there’s a good chance it’s more likely the rear one but it’s by far the most expensive as the subframe needs removing to replace it .. equally the front one looks simple but they often siEze in and can be mega tricky to get out

[@dannybeattie6451]

Can you drive the van with this fault?

[@diydaly]

Yeah it will drive , might be in limp mode at times

[@stevemuff6327]

Hi all my lights came on the dash and check anti pollution/check esc/ also wouldn’t let me accelerate. Had new fuel pump in tank and engine as the garage were getting no fuel through but still the same. Now comes up as air intake fault codes tried new maf but now won’t start at all as if no fuel. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as off the road for work now Thanks

[@diydaly]

Afraid thats bait of a minefield for me to guess at mate , there's alot that id have a check , you really need to be checking some of the actual data while cranking

[@stevemuff6327]

Hi thanks it is becoming a minefield you’re right. I’ll see if the garage can give me more info. Where are you based do you book vans in? Thanks for reply

[@diydaly]

@@stevemuff6327 Yeah hopefully with a bit of time they can suss it! im near grimsby.. Not really taking any extra extra on at the mo though as were mega busy plus building a garage at home im afraid

[@stevemuff6327]

Probably a bit far for me being in north wales anyway lol thanks. If I get more info would you be able to help more online? What would you need to know

[@diydaly]

@@stevemuff6327 Possibly , what are all the fault codes stored?

[@tommytriggs]

having an issue where van wont start, maybe half a turn then some kind of electrical stutter & fuel guage shivvers for a few seconds. then theres a bleeping whine that appears to come from that sensor. do you think it might be the same issue...?

[@diydaly]

no im afraid not mate , this sensor wont stop it from starting

[@tommytriggs]

@@diydaly i see one of your videos on the fuel supply unit, i noticed there was a similar whining noise (vauxhall too). is that common when theres fuel supply issues???

[@diydaly]

@@tommytriggs I presume you mean the Renault master fuel pump in the tank video , that’s only specific to them tbh mate , the vivaros don’t have a pump in the tank

[@tommytriggs]

@@diydaly ah ok, but the whining noise is the same, any ideas where i should look? cant get van to a garage & its in a difficult position to get towed. kinda in a rutt

[@diydaly]

@@tommytriggs you really ned to get the fault odes read first mate, it may point you in the right direction

[@ukaszsiwik7315]

Is it really a temperature sensor? in the description when I wanted to buy it, it says that it is a pressure sensor

[@diydaly]

yes does both mate

[@chrisdawson7093]

Hi I have code p0101 could it be same part

[@diydaly]

p0101 usually relates to air flow or air leak faults , not usually relating to this sensor
