Hi,
looking for info;

seen a cheap'ish 110 , but would really need Cruise fitting,

I know the Stilo of this age is Pre-wired..,
does the 2002 marea have a chance of plug'n play cruise..??

does it have a clutch-switch..??

any info most welcome,

thanks,
Charlie

Hi,
Depends on the exact model of ECU and dash module fitted. Early ones had the inputs but would not "enable" cruise. An easy way to tell is the engine fault light on the dash. If it looks like an injector you can't add cruise, if it looks like an engine you can. While I now own a Croma, I had a 110 JTD Marea Weekend and tried to install cruise control. I could see on FiatEcuscan (yes it was pre MES) that it responed to the inputs when I manually shorted them. It said it was enabled, so I went ahead and fitted the stalk (from an Alfa) but it would not work. I then found out about the fail light clue, Mine had an injector symbol :-(
I still have the cruise stalk if you need one (and your Marea has the right symbol)

this and ODB2 is why my search for another Marea is limited to post 2nd facelift models.
thanks to Neverth, look for round FIAT logo and round speedo and tacho dials. 2002 model should be just fine.

i had a quote from a company who said "The cost of a cruise control system for the Marea, including the CM35 stalk control, is £230.00 + £14.00 delivery to France (Air Mail) + VAT (20%). The total cost is £292.80"

Interesting as I tried this on my Marea 155, which has roughly the same engine management as the stilo 2.4
And didn't work

Thanks, turns out it's late 2001 , but round Badge + Dials,

should be OBD 2..??

I was planning on checking the "engine symbol", and clutch switch.., but OBD Socket could be another good sign,

Such a long time since I bought my '99 jtd105 in 2001
Cheers,
Charlie

My JTD110 was an early 2001 (Y prefix). It had an EOBD/OBDII 16 pin connector and this

Bosch ECU. Engine fail light was injector symbol. I don't recall the dial style. As stated before, FiatEcuScan reported the cruise discrete inputs changing but cruise would not engage. There was no wiring to the ECU cruse input pins

P.S. Mine had the old "bars" badge.

car has the "injector" symbol but the "Round Badge",
TBH with the history file, and way it runs I got a fair deal.. BUT cruise will be a big factor..,

I'll dig at the innards for more info and keep things updated..,
Charlie

Hi,
Good buy. I may have been misleading on the badge, it had bars on the back door but a round grille badge, it's been a couple of years. Possibly a changeover mode. Check the ECU code (it's in the passenger footwell. If it's the same as mine you are out of luck. It's a pity. I did look at fitting a later ECU, but you need to change the dash as well (perhaps even more) and that's not practical.

Marea limited edition St Moritz, was that even an option in the UK?
it has lovely white backlit dials and cream roof bars, and best of all, a light grey leather interior, door cards, the lot.

scroll down on this french forum site to have a few photos of what i intend to get, one day, one day....

Unfortunately Lighter shades wouldn't work for me

spent an hour around my local yard yesterday,
several alfa 156 leather rear benches..

thought I'd almost found a replacement seat for mine too

My tired one.


grubby but sound FULL interior

any news on the cruise control, have you run a MES diagnostic yet, any clues?

NO, NOPE , and ..no

maybe soon..,

socket location..?,
drivers right knee..??

Charlie

ODB2 connector is required to be in the cabin and be accessible without tools, so under the dash somewhere, that's all i know unfortunately.

More between the knees. Just behind the edge of the trim panel below the steering wheel. It faces down and has a dust cap on it (well mine did and it was tight fitting) and is hard to see. You need to kneel on the ground outside the car and look up with a torch to find it
On mine I could see the Cruise inputs and their status changed when I connected them, BUT I oucld not enable the cruise option (Fiatecuscan at the time). I suggest you try to enable the cruise option before going any further.

thanks,
took a few pics..!!,
still didn't actually see it normal OBD2 socket size..??




Under the left of panel here..?? ( I noticed the steel plate "at jaunty angle" was loose..)



raining out - so was hanging upside down from seat - didn't spot anything..
other than a clutch switch

Hi,
Yes, it's normal size, but was quite hard to locate. with the dust cover in place it looked like a retangular block of black plastic. Sorry I don't have any photos. I sold the Marea a while ago and now have a Croma.
