Hello all
New user here, hope everyone is having a good day.
I have an issue with my wife's 2010 Fiat 500 (1.2l) in that the dash is (always, not intermittently) showing all the airbag and seatbelt lights and on start up it's showing the message "fuel cut-off unavailable" (image attached). When the message ends, the mileage reading keeps flashing. It drives and seems fine otherwise.
It went into Desira in Friern Barnet for an airbag recall service yesterday but apparently because of the flashing mileage reading, they wouldn't be able to run the recall service, and in order to determine the cause of the problems, they wanted £120 just to run a diagnostic, so obviously I declined and now looking for alternative solutions.
My questions are whether the above dash symptoms signifiy a known issue with this model and/or if anyone is able to recommend a particular tool for reading and clearing fault codes for the 500.
If there happens to be a tool which might work on other makes of cars as well, then our other car is a 1999 VW Passsat, soon being upgraded to 2010 Tiguan.
Many thanks!
