Technical Error With Punto Evo U1715

Still ain't got a clue, don't even know if this sensor is the problem, still sat in the garage and can't even be arsed with it, worse car I have ever tried to find problems myself with and I don't think I'll ever get a fiat again, thanks for the help anyway :p......think I'll stick to VW's
 
You're welcome.

But be serious 3 minutes : you are not thinking your car is bad for a 100$ sensor ??? You don't think buy a VW when the problem on your car is... a fu** Bosch electronic sensor ? Seriously ?

For your problem, was you able to disconnect the yaw sensor to see if the error change ?

If you cant solve it yourself, go to a Fiat dealer that know his job, ask he the cost and if it's correct let him do the job, it probably will not cost an arm and a leg...
 
Like I say, I don't even know if it is that specific sensor that is the problem so it's going to cost £100+ to change that possibly, then £70 to test for faults, the cars only 4 years old. Takes 3 weeks to figure out how to take a plastic handbrake cover off :p I don't understand why there isn't a Haynes manual for this car!?
 
I understand your point of view.

Once the plastic cover removed, changing the sensor is easy : two bolts.
Buying a sensor on ebay for less than 100$ is easy, too. You can make the exchange, if don't work better, back on ebay for selling.
This is the simplest/cost effective way I think.

You're right, a manual will be a good thing, and I'll be the second buyer after you.
But with electronic / electric on cars nowadays it's really difficult to repair/diagnose something without testing, software and good knowledge.

Yeah think I'll try that as soon as I manage to get the plastic cover off. Seen the sensors for £30 and that is why I don't want to go to fiat to get ripped off, it's a shame there is not a specialist in my area
 
Still can't figure out how to remove the plastic cover, could anyone post a video of it being done?

Hey, I think I have found the problem, fixing it is the question.

It seems that I have noticed after removing the plastic shroud one of the wires to the yaw sensor has snapped of so it seems like this is the problem after all

How would I go about fixing this?

Can the plastic end connector be dismantled to re-insert the wire?

Would I have to buy a new connector end and then cut the wires and then solder or crimp them to the new end? ImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408631332.450979.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408631350.358149.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408631360.212513.jpg
 
Hey, happy you was able to open the central plastic to gain access to this sensor !

For the connector yes it can be possible to open it, but it's always hard to find were lock are. And when you see them, you need small tools they can do the trick to unlock.

Do you have any markings on connectors ? To find documentation on Internet, and to see how it's assembled.

Rear look like Mate-N-Lock connectors. The pin should come off from back, the yellow seal should come with. Cable and seal should be crimped to the contact.
 
Never had this connector in my hands...

The two small gray part on left & right on the pics can unlock the whole block ?


No they don't do anything

The green parts seem to move across but that's about itImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408731112.469333.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408731123.623148.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408731133.260455.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408731142.499487.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408731152.576006.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408731162.670517.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1408731172.198921.jpg
