Completely agree with all of the above and can confirm that it's the Yellow adapter that's needed with the USB cable to switch off the poxy seatbelt warning beeper. Which interestingly enough NOW appears in the onboard menu system to allow me to re-enable it from the dash selector without the need for any more Multiecuscan.

I've just found this thread - been away a lot with work.

I don't know if this is of any help, but when I bought my 2013MY Easy T/A manual,(with 4km on the odo) it began registering a fault ESC and TC not available and the warning triangle.

After maybe five starts (over the course of my 900km drive home) it became a hard fault - ie, until then, the fault would disappear on start-up, then appear after a short while driving. After then, it was always lit up when starting.

After the first dealer clearing the codes and not finding a fault, the second dealer spending two hours with the car finally found the problem -- poor wheel alignment. Apparently the s/wheel angle sensor and the other sensors were not in agreement so it threw a code.

Wheel alignment fixed, codes cleared, no codes reappeared.

I had noticed the car pulling slightly to the right from time to time but because it was so new and I was getting to know it, I hadn't paid close enough attention.

It's been almost two years, but the same warning lights came up yesterday. I have noticed the s/wheel cantered slightly to the right, so prob wheel alignment again (had one done a year ago).

On re-start and 50km after that, no more lights.

This is what I bought based on the advice on the fiat forum for a nice member. https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/161715574443

This is a reader and all the cables you need.

You need this software http://www.multiecuscan.net which needs a Windows PC

I had to register the software to work with the reader from eBay. It's €50 to register which was about £40.

It took no effort to use. You remove the plastic panel between the drivers footwell (just below the steering wheel) and the driver's door. The panel just pulls off. The OBD port is behind it at the top (I'd seen a fiat engineer do this in the past when they forgot to reset my service indicator).

You plug the reader directly in and then select on the software the module you're wanting to connect to. For some you use the yellow adaptor cable (which comes with that reader), the software prompts you when it needs it.

I'm sure you can get a reader that works without having to register the software but to be honest I'm not begrudging paying £40 when someone has gone to the trouble to write software to help us all out.

The software is easy to use and you can quickly see any errors.

I know others have probably alternative readers to suggest but this was the one I was pointed towards. I also bought another which I haven't even tried but it was only £5.99 so no too bothered if I don't have any use for it.

Hope that helps.
