Had the orange engine warning light come on twice yesterday. Rang dealer but they were shut 'til Monday. Read manual to find that it is probably a fueling problem and that it is OK to carry on driving albeit carefully. As I don't ever rev the engine high so when I had to use it I didn't notice any performance differences, not like you might if it had gone into the "limp home" mode.
After I got home I switched engine off and went to open garage doors and when I restarted the engine the light went off as normal.
This has happened twice now so can anyone tell me if the ECU will have stored a fault code so that when Fiat dealer checks with the examiner they will be able to (hopefully) diagnose the fault or is it a case of them needing to test the car whilst the light is actually on?
