Technical Flashing Mileage

Technical Flashing Mileage

Not true. I am a Dealer Expert Technician and I have seen this many times before, it depends if the internal ecu capacitors have fully discharged as to how long the car can last without it but flashing mileage reading is a definate indication proxi alignment is required. Proxi alignment should be carried out every time the battery is disconnected and every time an ecu is replaced or disconnected.

Then as a DET you would know 30 minutes is enough to discharge capacitors in any module,yet as I stated in my last post I left battery disconnected overnight.Do you carry out proxy alignment when you change a punto(188) ECU because nobody else does (which is why non Fiat garages buy & fit them themselves,just carry out the phonic wheel procedure) a fact told to myself by TeSeO.
In this particular case (doblo cluster) proxy alignment may have to be carried out due to a software/communication error not because battery has been disconnected.
 
Just like I say, if the ecu has been replaced/disconnected proxi alignment procedure HAS to be carried out. Sorry, thats the way it is. Proxi alignment will DEFINATELY cure this problem.
 
Re-read my post......

"In this particular case (doblo cluster) proxy alignment may have to be carried out due to a software/communication error not because battery has been disconnected"

Notice the bold part.Also I never mentioned ECU's (except the 188 punto example) it was battery disconnection we were talking about.

I respect the fact you are a DET but you have no idea who I am.

you DET aswell
:p
 
Don't want to butt in on your argument but how much would this proxy alignment cost me to sort my flashing mileage out?
 
Ill let you know tomorrow mate, mines booked in with fiat for a poxy, sorry proxy alignment in the morning.If they rob me ill say come on its only a proxy alignment , you cant pull the wool this time lads!!!
 
Job done on mine, needed it as Ive changed the clocks.All is now fine and im 30 quid lighter. It took ten minutes. They should have bent me over and reamed my arse while they were at it, it would have hurt less. It wont be long before they lock the bonnet and only fiat have the key!!! What choice do we have, Fiat examiner is now god. Oh well its not flashing anymore!?
 
£30!!! :eek: .....for a 'literally' 3 minute job! Garage I mostly work at charges by every 0.1 (6 minutes) so you in theory should of been charged (assuming labour rate of £40p/hr) £4 +vat.Unfortunally it isn't like that,all depends how much you complain or if you have big flash car (cheap price so you come back...then get ripped off) or if your good looking etc.
 
has anyone got to the bottom of this problem?? , i have same fault with 55plate doblo , mileage screen is fine until engine started then starts flashing ? doin my napper in lol
 
I had the same problem in my doblo 1.2 when i replaced my doblo tacho with one from fiat punto 1.2 sx(it had rev meter and engine temperature,and doblo didn"t)
so I went to fiat service,and they connected it to some kind of testing unit, friend of mine that works there said that he needed to reset it somehow..
anyway...it stopped flashing and now everything works ok....not much of help from me,but it did it for me :)
