Thanks for the update P2016.
I called my main dealer today and they confirmed that they received a bulletin last Friday from Fiat saying that the recall was now a bigger process involving replacement of the indicator stalk / light switch
Mine is booked in for two weeks time while the part is ordered.
It does beg the question why other owners on here seem to have previously had the recall completed without issue?
I have
Multiecuscan and, curiosity getting the better of me, scanned the body computer today with interesting results..
Code:
Scanning ...
Body
Body Computer Delphi (846)
ISO Code: 40 83 F4 8A 16
Errors found:
B12CB - Cruise Controls from Multi-Function Stalks (CSM)
B1045 - Exterior light switch
The first error is interesting, possibly suggesting that the new body computer software is thinking that the indicator stalk is a cruse control stalk??!
These DTC's won't clear and they didn't exist before the software update was done when I was investigating the initial 'fault' of the lights randomly switching off (before the recall note hit the doormat
)
Other checks with (the very clever)
Multiecuscan confirm all the light switches contacts function ok, as does the circuitry that switches the individual lights.
The whole issue of the stalk needing replacing suggests to me that is has processor circuitry in it (really?? . not just switching contacts?).
A loan car has been booked for they day, they can have ours for as long as it takes!
