Anyone else dealing with electric traction system faults in their Peugeot?

Maintenance and Repairs

I’ve been experiencing some frustrating issues with the electric traction system in my Peugeot, particularly on my e-208. The warning light keeps flashing, and the system seems to lose power intermittently. Has anyone else faced similar issues?

Here are a few details:

  • Model: Peugeot e-208
  • Symptoms: Warning light activation, power loss
  • Checked so far: Fuses, battery connections, and software updates (all seem good)

I’m looking for any advice on troubleshooting or potential fixes. Is this a common issue with Peugeot’s electric models, like the e-2008 or hybrid 3008? Any insights from your experiences or recommendations for repairs would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve been experiencing erratic power delivery in my Peugeot since last month. Sometimes it feels like the electric traction just cuts out for a second. Anyone else having similar issues?

I had that too! It turned out to be a faulty sensor. Definitely get it checked out.

My dashboard has been flashing a ‘Traction Fault’ warning for days now. It’s frustrating! Does anyone know if this could be linked to battery issues?

Yes, I’ve seen that warning too, @freymegan. It often indicates a problem with the electric traction system. You might want to take it to a mechanic soon before it worsens!

My car hesitates a lot when accelerating, and sometimes it doesn’t respond at all. Is it possible this is related to the electric traction system? Any thoughts?

You might want to check your battery connections, @williamsbrian. I had that issue, and it turned out to be a loose wire!

Sometimes my Peugeot randomly loses power while I’m driving on the highway. It’s terrifying! What should I do if it happens?

I’d suggest pulling over safely and turning off the vehicle for a few minutes, @gwilliams. It can help reset the system if it’s just a temporary glitch.

I’ve heard that if the battery isn’t functioning properly, it can lead to erratic behavior in the electric traction system. Has anyone had their battery checked recently?

11

Yes! I replaced mine a few weeks ago, and it made a huge difference. The warning lights disappeared after that.

I think the electric traction system is more complex than it seems! @wpearson, have you ever had any performance issues even with a new battery?

Definitely! If only they were as simple as changing a lightbulb. I feel like I’ve turned into a mechanic trying to sort these problems out.

I’m just waiting for my Peugeot to turn into a transformer one day with all these issues! Seriously though, I just want to figure this electric traction system out.

I’ve been having issues with my electric traction system too. The warning light keeps flashing. What are some good diagnostic tools I can use?

16

I had the same thing! A good handheld scanner can read the fault codes directly from the system. I recommend looking for an OBD-II scanner that supports Peugeot models.

I discovered that using the manufacturer’s software can provide more detailed diagnostics than just a basic scanner. It’s worth the investment!

Absolutely! You can often download it from the official Peugeot website if you have a subscription. Just be sure to have the latest version.

Does anyone have tips for DIY troubleshooting? I’m not too confident with tools, but I want to learn.

Start by checking the battery connections and fuses. Loose connections can cause all sorts of issues, and it’s an easy fix!
