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

Maintenance and Repairs

I’ve heard some people use a multimeter to check the voltage in the traction battery. Is that worthwhile?

22

Definitely! It can help you identify if there’s a weak cell in the battery causing the faults.

23

It’s sometimes amusing how we all dread checking the fuses. I have a hard time pretending I know what I’m doing when I pop the cover open!

24

Haha! True! I like to call it my ‘fuse dance’ because I spend more time twirling around than actually checking them!

25

Does anyone feel like these electric systems are more trouble than they’re worth? I mean, compared to traditional ones, they’re much more complicated.

26

I see your point, but they offer better efficiency in the long run. It’s just a matter of getting through these initial troubleshooting headaches!

If anyone is considering DIY repairs, be careful! I tried replacing a component myself and it led to more issues. Might be better to consult a pro.

I’ve also experienced electric traction issues, and it turned out that a battery replacement made all the difference! Might be worth checking your power source.

So, I guess that means regular maintenance of the battery is crucial? I’ve never really focused on that aspect before.

36

That’s really helpful! I’ll definitely keep an eye on my battery’s health.

37

For upkeep, I recommend checking the cables and connectors regularly. A little maintenance goes a long way in preventing faults!

That’s a solid tip, @mccarthykyle! I added it to my regular checklist, along with software updates.

I wish I could just laugh it off, but electric traction faults are no joke! Anyone ever thought of starting a humor blog about car troubles?

Haha! True, but maybe we can find humor in sharing our experiences here. At least we’re not alone!
