Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Siemens
- Model: Peugeot 307
- Product Codes: 9649474680, 5WK42989, 8216AL
- Additional Numbers: NFP
Function And Typical Symptoms
The acceleration sensor measures vehicle acceleration and supplies this information to stability and traction control systems and other control units that rely on dynamic motion data. When the sensor malfunctions, drivers may notice one or more of the following symptoms:
- Warning lights on the dashboard (e.g., ESP/traction control or related fault indicators)
- Degraded stability or traction control performance
- Stored fault codes related to sensor signal or communication errors
Replacement Guide
Replacement of the acceleration sensor should be performed by a trained mechanic or an experienced DIYer with proper tools. General replacement steps:
- Disconnect The Battery: Always disconnect the negative terminal to prevent short circuits and to protect electronic systems.
- Locate The Sensor: The acceleration sensor location varies by vehicle configuration. It is commonly mounted on a structural body point away from direct exposure to engine heat—refer to workshop documentation for the exact position.
- Remove Trim And Access Panels: Remove any interior or underbody panels required to reach the sensor, using appropriate trim tools to avoid damage.
- Unplug Electrical Connector: Release the connector latch and carefully unplug the harness to avoid bending pins.
- Unbolt The Sensor: Remove the mounting fasteners and extract the sensor. Keep mounting hardware if reusing or replace if damaged.
- Install The New Sensor: Position the new sensor, fit and tighten fasteners according to the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications.
- Reconnect Connector And Battery: Reconnect the electrical connector and the battery negative terminal.
- Clear Fault Codes And Test Drive: Use a diagnostic tool to clear stored codes and verify correct operation with a short test drive and system checks.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Environmental Damage: Moisture ingress, corrosion, or contamination can degrade sensor electronics and connectors.
- Mechanical Stress: Vibration, impact or physical damage from collisions can affect sensor calibration or cause failure.
- Electrical Issues: Wiring faults, connector corrosion or intermittent contacts lead to signal loss or erroneous readings.
- Age And Wear: Over time electronic components can drift or fail due to thermal cycling and general wear.
For best results, replace the sensor with an exact-match part using the listed product codes. After installation, confirm correct system operation with diagnostic equipment and a controlled test drive to ensure stability and traction systems function correctly.
