Key Benefits

• Direct replacement IAT sensor for the PSA (Peugeot/Citroen) and Renault-Nissan alliance small-engine passenger vehicles sold in South Africa through the 1990s, 2000s, and early 2010s.
• Cross-referenced to PSA, Renault, and Nissan OE part numbers - one sensor matches three manufacturer catalogues because the sensor is a commodity component shared across alliance platforms.
• 2-pin NTC thermistor with standard grey housing and 12 mm thread - matches factory sensor form factor with no modification required.

OEM Reference Numbers

• PSA (Peugeot / Citroen): 1920 6C
• Renault: 77 01 055 723
• Nissan: 22693 00QAA

Note: Peugeot and Citroen share part numbers within the PSA Group - the same 1920 6C reference applies to both brands. Renault and Nissan share part numbers within the Renault-Nissan Alliance. This sensor is a common commodity part across all three manufacturer catalogues.

Vehicle Fitment

Includes 20 supplied applications.

Fitment Notes

• Match the sensor specifications (2-pin NTC, grey housing, 12 mm thread, 39 mm overall length, 18 mm fitting depth) to your existing sensor before ordering. A visual comparison is the most reliable fitment check.
• PSA Group and Renault-Nissan Alliance shared parts: Peugeot and Citroen share the same OE part number (1920 6C) because both brands were part of the PSA Group. Renault and Nissan share part numbers because of the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The same IAT sensor is correct across all four brand catalogues when the engine matches.
• Fitment list reflects 20 supplied applications. Commercial Renault Kangoo Express (FC0/1 body) variants and Renault Modus Hi-Flex Ethanol variants are not included in the SA fitment summary - these have limited SA market presence.
• The D4F (Renault 1.2 16V), D7F (Renault 1.2 8V), and TU5JP (PSA 1.6) engine codes are different engines from different manufacturers that share this commodity NTC sensor.
• Open-ended dates (e.g. "08/1997-") indicate the model was still in production at the supplier catalogue date.

Installation / Use / Maintenance Tips

• Compare the new sensor to the removed sensor before installation - verify pin count (2), housing colour (grey), thread (12 mm), overall length (39 mm), and fitting depth (18 mm) match.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery before unplugging the sensor electrical connector to avoid triggering additional fault codes.
• Inspect the sensor connector and wiring for corrosion, damage, or loose terminals. Clean with contact cleaner if needed. Replace the connector pigtail if it is damaged.
• Fit the new sensor by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten to the vehicle manufacturer's specification - usually around 20 Nm for a 12 mm thread sensor. Do not over-torque - this can damage the sensor housing or strip the thread in the intake manifold.
• Reconnect the battery and clear stored diagnostic trouble codes with an OBD-II scan tool. Drive the vehicle through a warm-up cycle to verify normal operation.
• If the check engine light returns with an IAT code after replacement, check the wiring harness from the sensor to the ECU, inspect for air leaks near the intake, and verify the ECU is receiving the sensor signal correctly.

Common Questions

What is an IAT sensor and what does it do?
The intake air temperature sensor (IAT sensor) measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The engine control unit (ECU) uses this data to calculate the correct air-fuel ratio - cold air is denser and needs more fuel, while warm air is less dense and needs less fuel. A failing IAT sensor causes incorrect mixture calculations, leading to running problems, increased fuel consumption, and emissions issues.

Why does a Peugeot part number match Citroen vehicles, and a Renault part match Nissan?
Peugeot and Citroen both belong to the PSA Group (now Stellantis) and share common parts catalogues. Similarly, Renault and Nissan form the Renault-Nissan Alliance and share components including sensors like this one. The IAT sensor is a commodity part manufactured by external suppliers and fitted to vehicles across all four brands during the covered production era.

Will replacing this clear my check engine light?
If the fault code is IAT-related (P0110 through P0114) and the sensor has been confirmed faulty by a technician, then yes - the light should clear once the code is reset. However, these codes can also be caused by wiring issues, connector corrosion, or ECU problems, so have the fault confirmed before ordering.

How do I test my current IAT sensor before replacing it?
With the engine cold (ambient temperature), measure the sensor's resistance with a multimeter. A working NTC sensor should read approximately 2,000-3,000 ohms at 20-25°C. After the engine warms up, the resistance should drop to around 200-400 ohms. If the resistance is wildly different or infinite, the sensor is faulty. Consult your vehicle's workshop manual for exact resistance-vs-temperature values.

Where is the IAT sensor located?
Typically in the intake manifold, air intake duct, or air filter housing, depending on the vehicle. On most of the listed PSA and Renault engines, the sensor is on the intake manifold or throttle body area. Check your workshop manual for the exact location on your specific vehicle.

Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
The part is supplied with OEM cross-references (PSA 1920 6C, Renault 77 01 055 723, Nissan 22693 00QAA). Match the OE number from your existing sensor or the physical specifications before ordering. Contact us with your vehicle details if verification is needed.

How do I confirm fitment if my vehicle is not listed?
Check your existing sensor's specifications: 2-pin connector, grey housing, 12 mm thread, 39 mm overall length, 18 mm fitting depth. If these match, the sensor will fit regardless of whether your specific model variant is in the fitment list above. Contact us with a photograph of your existing sensor if unsure.
