Description
Interior temperature sensor for PEUGEOT 206 vehicles.
This interior temperature sensor is an original-fit component used on Peugeot/Citroën HVAC systems. It provides the climate control unit with real-time cabin temperature data to ensure accurate regulation of heating and air conditioning. Ideal for professional workshops and skilled DIY mechanics, this part restores correct temperature readings and smooth HVAC operation when the original sensor becomes faulty.
Typical applications include corrective repairs on Peugeot 206 models where symptoms such as incorrect cabin temperature display, uneven heating/cooling, excessive compressor cycling, or poor automatic climate control performance indicate a failed sensor. The unit is compact, plugs directly into the vehicle harness and is often replaced during HVAC troubleshooting or when internal sensors are damaged by moisture, impact, or connector corrosion.

Installation Recommendations
Before starting, prepare basic trim removal tools and take ESD precautions for electrical connectors. Typical replacement steps:
- Locate the sensor—commonly mounted in the dashboard area near the central vents or inside the center console on Peugeot 206 models.
- Remove the necessary trim panels to access the sensor. Keep fasteners and clips safe to avoid rattle or misalignment on reassembly.
- Disconnect the electrical connector carefully and remove the old sensor from its housing.
- Install the new sensor, reconnect the plug and reassemble the trim in reverse order.
- After installation, cycle the HVAC system and verify correct temperature readings and automatic climate control behavior.
Always disconnect the battery if you will be working extensively on the vehicle’s electrical system or if required by the workshop safety procedures. Avoid pulling on wiring and protect plastic clips from over-flexing.
Reason Why The Part Most Often Fails
Interior temperature sensors usually fail due to contamination or damage rather than wear from operation. Common causes include:
- Moisture ingress or condensation causing corrosion of the sensor element or connector.
- Physical damage from impact or improper handling during dashboard or trim removal.
- Connector corrosion or poor electrical contacts leading to intermittent or incorrect readings.
- Accumulation of dust and debris around the sensing element altering readings.
Why Choose This Sensor
Replacing a faulty interior temperature sensor with the correct part number (9644113080 / 6445PK) quickly restores accurate cabin temperature measurement and improves HVAC responsiveness and comfort. For workshops, having this OEM-compatible sensor in stock reduces diagnostic time and customer vehicle downtime. For DIYers, the part is straightforward to fit with basic tools and a careful approach to trim removal.
If your Peugeot 206 shows incorrect temperature feedback, erratic climate control behavior, or the automatic HVAC mode fails to maintain the set temperature, replacing the interior temperature sensor is a cost-effective and reliable repair.
