Temperature sensor help needed (wicked idea)

Post by 406 V6 »

Hello!
Fellas, by any chance, does any one of you know how the temp probe on the C5 (by this, any recent Citroën) works?. For instance, voltage differential, weird protocol for communicating with the display, etc?
I just had the crazyest idea, to be revealed later in exclusive to all you Cit lovers (*cough* nuts *cough* [:P]- me included[:D]) if it works.
Have a great sunday night fellas![;)]

*bad word*
ok, let me tell what the idea was all about:
"Replace" the sensor with a MAP one, and use the display to tell the turbo pressure.
I've been checking some tech docs on the C5, and it could be done, as far as i can see, but the aircon would go bezerk with such different and always changing "temperature" values...
Oh well[:(]
