Hi. The battery level sensor on my 2013 Panda 4x4 is telling me that my "Stop Start" is unavailable (Don't want it - - no problem) but the warning light on my dash is on.
I have £90:00 of new battery and there is nothing wrong with it.
How can I bypass the sensor/take it out of the loop/don't want it.
Help please.

Wrong Forum. (2003-2012)
But.. IIRC there's a little black box on the - terminal. Make sure there;s mo resistance between battery and box. Or unplug or loose the box completely.

Know have a new battery and a new sensor and I still have the same fault message and amber light on my dash.
I have now spent £170 on battery and sensor WHAT A MUG!
Can anyone please help me?
Thank you.

£90 is that a S:S battery??

Have you read the fault codes.. what does the Panda 'think' the problem is..??

I dont know. Reading the codes would be a Good start. The dash can be very generalised

brake switch is fairly common failure for both start stop and dualogic errors ?

but I dont know the post 2012 very well

or own a 4x4

and my cars dont have start stop


so I am shooting blind really

Exactly my point.. it could well be something that 'appears unrelated'

Worth checking on the forums MultiECUScan register

An example of "unrelated" faults causing errors - The gearbox reverse light switch is used by the Duologic to know when the box is in reverse. Any faults in the circuit including the switch will raise gearbox fault warnings. It's highly likely that similar issues apply on the S-S system so the codes have to be read.
