Had the same problem on mine, I took it out to get a part number, put it back and it's been fine for 3 years!

It seems like the old "Wiggle-Wiggle" test for bad connections is the first stage of fault analysis/diagnosis.
This methodology has worked twice now on the Berlingo....
First time was the connector to the seat belt pre-tensioner beneath the drivers seat.
Second time was actually done under a used-vehicle warranty issue, by the main dealer. After troubleshoot/diagnosis/scratching of heads, the connections to part of the EGR system were wiggled and started working again.
Clearly, Citroen seem to have an ongoing issue with connectors and wire terminations that are not water or dirt proof and appear to corrode easily.

Steve, this part seems to be the one that was replaced before the problems with the stop light started showing. Since being replaced the gauge shows max temp a few seconds after starting the engine and the stop light comes on. Knobblywobbly - I'm gonna try the BSI reset and see what happens, but I'll try the old 'Wiggle-Wiggle' test first. Has anyone on here reset the BSI in this way before? It seems the sort of thing that could screw something up at any stage if not done correctly........Since writing this reply I took another look and noticed it's for a Peugeot, I take it this doesn't make a difference?

Could it be the dash clocks that's at fault? I'd try the wiggle test first, or try taking the sensor out and putting it back in.
