Engine management light

Has anyone had any problem with the engine management light .on my 2016 Peugeot 150 boxer came on after only 1600 miles is this problem this engine .

Yes it was reading check engine

I had problem with engine management fault, repaired under warranty,

Could well be your lambda sensor in the exhaust,easy fix

I had that, after about 1,000 miles. The vehicle seemd to be OK apart from the warning. Unfortunately, soon after, it went into Limp Mode .... on the M4.
Managed to creep back to my Peugeot dealer. Took a week to sort it. Beware!

Had left campsite only five minutes earlier and driving up prolonged hill, engine suddenly went sluggish. Error code referred to something about emissions? Trying to maintain forward motion by having to change down to lower gears and slowing up the hill. Thought must at least get to the top and pull in safely. Traffic behind getting frustrated and when stopping in a driveway, a bloody coach blasts it's born as it passes. RAC advises to lift bonnet and arrives after forty minutes. Charming man plugs in his computer but it does not recognise engine. After some dismantling of plastic parts, taps his screw driver somewhere under the bonnet and turning on ignition the engine starts immediately. "Yes it is a sensor in the exhaust emissions that got stuck". He then followed us to a predetermined place to stop and complete his paperwork. No reoccurring problem in the past six months. The incident report is in the van and if it ever happened again, hopefully another tap of a screwdriver will cure it.

I can't see how van makers can hold off making petrol versions now.

I certainly don't plan to replace my (already complicated) current van with one which has a Euro6 diesel - with a DPF, a catalytic converter, an Adblue tank and injection system, another catalytic converter and a low-pressure EGR system, just so that it can pass emission regulations that a whole list of major cities plan to reject anyway.

Highly possible that the Diesel Particulate Filter is partially chocked, more likely if the engine has had short "running in" use. 
Before you take it to the dealer and they charge you for a "non warranty" repair, take the van for a run in 3rd gear at 2500/3000 rpm for 3 or 4 miles to get some heat to the DPF and it will/should regenerate and clear the fault. If this does not sort it then the Dealer may have to carry out a "forced regeneration" at a price.

I could not get a Peugeot engine to manually, forced regenerate using a laptop and software because a sensor in the exhaust was faulty. Good luck

On my little Kia I had the engine management light come on and the handbook pointed to the dpf. Their remedy is to run it at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes in 3rd, meaning I had to drive in 3rd gear for about 20 miles. Reading on Kia owners website it says that the light will go out after starting the engine 5 times. That actually worked but I ran it for the 20 miles anyway. Not come back on since.

Same with my Transit last year in Belgium just as i was about to set off for planned tour. I returned to where i'd parked up and called the breakdown who took me to a Garage. Unfortunately it was the fuel pump electronics and they could do nothing as it was a Lucas Epic fuel pump which are no longer made. Though the van was driveable the max speed was only around 40mph and that was on the flat!

Tour was aborted and had to have van flat-bed lifted all the way back home. I've now had a Bosch mechanical pump fitted which have to be modified to work with the Turbo but it's way superior to the Lucas pump and the real plus......no silly electronics plus i also now have a proper accelerator cable which replaced the electronic one. Ever wondered what you do when your silly electronic throttle packs up? You are stuck until a breakdown can get you to a Garage but if you have a 'normal' accelerator cable which snaps, a piece of string will get you on the move until you find an accessory shop!

Not quite but I get your drift. Fly by wire throttles have 2 potentiometers, one is a back up track fi the main one fails

Went to dealer today plugged in came up with air temp sender changed it all seems OK let's hope this as fixed the problem

The VW T5 did the same, took VW 1/2hr to fix, £120 + they washed the Topaz, maybe they felt guilty at the charge.

Just wish vans could give you a petrol option.

Think Ford made the engines for most Peugeots after 2007.  BUSBY65.

And what happens if the second one goes kaput whilst driving around looking for a Garage?   Thankfully i've got rid of that problem now!

LOL......bad luck has a tendency to follow me around! 
Who else do you know that had two windscreens replaced in the space of just one week?!! Even more freaky.....they both got whacked on the same road in the same place!! 

I had that problem losing all power in Croatia on the way home when van was 2 months old.  I stopped and after a few minutes engine started normally but engine management light stayed on  After several hours in Peugeot dealer in Rijeka was advised that I could wait for 3 days for new emissions valve from Paris or try driving home - at least we would be nearer Paris for the part!  We drove home. Peugeot dealer found no fault as Rijeka had reset diagnostics (they had given me the worksheet) but fault has not recurred in 4 years.

A handy tool to carry is an ELM237 diagnostic scanner - around £6 and download the smartphone app Torque by Ian Hawkins. This way you can code scan/clear your own codes/live test for faults. I've used one for years, it can even log your tracks by google maps, fuel consumption check and a host of other data. Also a handy tool when buying a used car - just plug it in and see what fault codes come up  . It's perfectly safe to use and the app is virus free - clever stuff
