Car Forum / Citroen Cars / November 2005Stop Light
Xantia 1.9TD SLX 1996 The stop light has illuminated twice on the way into work today (Sunday boo hiss). Both times it has gone out immediately so I didn't stop. I've checked the hydraulic fluid level, the oil level and the water level. All are fine. The engine isn't overheating either. The only work done recently for the MOT was replacing the front disks and pads and I have had the low pad warning light illuminate briefly a couple of times since then. Presumably the garage didn't plug the pad sensor in properly. I haven't had the opportunity to check yet as it's been dark and freezing since it happened. Any ideas?

I am loathed to take it to our local Citroen c*nts, (oh sorry, I mean main dealer), to find out which sensor is phuqed? atb Dr D > > Xantia 1.9TD SLX 1996 > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > did any other light come on at the same time?

No not as far as I know. I don't even know where the diagnostic port is.

There's a lot in common with peugeots here. It could well be a corroded contact on the sensor. On our 99 306 one of the contacts for the temp. sensor system is near the aircon reservoir and in direct splashing range when filling the screenwash. I cleaned all the contacts I could find (and weren't obviously lights) with servisol. The one I mentioned above was the only corroded one. The stop light doesn't come on anymore. bumoy roads used to make it flicker, speed bumps could trigger it, worse in the wet. I suggest looking in the haynes for relevant contacts giving them the servisol and if possible wire wool treatment.
