In the event of a failure of the external temperature sensor, its replacement requires the removal of the front grille. Remove the fixing screws of the front grille located in the engine bay and under the bodywork.

After this operation, completely remove the grille including the bumper. Dismantle the various accessory parts by unscrewing the corresponding bolts at the back.

Locate the sensor, which is fixed inside the bumper, and replace it with a new one. Check the operation before reassembling the grille, then reassemble the previously removed parts of the grille. Carefully position the grille in its housing and reinsert all the previously removed screws, tightening them carefully.
