Hi all,
I am a returning Fiat 500 member having just purchased my 5th - This time a 2012 500C Lounge TwinAir.
Upon purchasing the car I had the battery tested as the Stop/Start was not working. The health of the battery (being the original) was essentially 0% and so I have now changed the battery for a new one.
I understand that the car needs time to communicate with the new battery, however the stop/start system is still not working almost a week in. The car does automatically restart if stalled.
Additionally, on Sunday night I got in the car to a number of fault messages, including S/S unavailable, ESP unavailable, hill hold control unavailable. Upon turning the car on and off, these messages cleared and have not come back on.
Please can I ask if this sounds like a common fault and for possible resolutions?
Many thanks
