What is the reason why the Peugeot's stop light returns to normal after restarting?
3 Answers
Peugeot's stop light returning to normal after restarting is due to an issue with the oil pump. In terms of body dimensions: The wheelbase is as long as 2.61 meters. The overall length is 4.47 meters, width is 1.76 meters, height is 1.51 meters, and the trunk volume reaches 506 cubic decimeters. In terms of configuration: In addition to common configurations in this class of cars such as steering wheel audio control, cruise control, electric sunroof, and dual-zone automatic air conditioning, the center console is equipped with a color screen and telephone keypad, integrating GPS navigation, GPS hands-free telephone, DVD and MP3 audio multimedia control system, with a hard disk memory capacity of up to 30G, and music playback time of up to 180 hours.
I've encountered this issue before! When I was driving a French car, it was quite common for the STOP light to come on and then disappear after a restart. It's most likely that a sensor or the computer had a momentary glitch. For example, if the oil pressure sensor has poor contact or the ABS sensor is clogged with dirt, the system might mistakenly think there's a major problem with the car, when in reality, a restart refreshes it. Small components like the radiator fan or brake switch acting up can also trigger this warning. However, if it happens frequently, don't take it lightly—it's best to read the fault codes. If it turns out to be something like a worn-out wiring harness, delaying repairs could be dangerous.
Sounds like an intermittent issue. My old 308 had similar symptoms - from experience: if a restart fixes it, it's usually just electronic gremlins. If there were actual engine or transmission problems, the STOP light would stay on after restarting. Most likely suspects are minor issues like water ingress in wheel speed sensor connectors or loose battery terminals causing voltage fluctuations. But watch that coolant temperature - if the gauge actually hits red when the light comes on, shut down immediately without hesitation. That likely indicates a real cooling system failure, and any post-restart normalcy might just be temporary!
