(T) Engine managment and triangle warning light

Fiatpuntomk2b · 02-02-2011

hey guys

i Hve a fiat punto mk2b automatic(triptonic i think )

was driving my car this morning and when pulling off a roundabout the engine managment light came on and a warning triangle,also it says engine faliure

Now car wont move ?

what does this mean ?

does the mk2b use a different Warning light system?

But EML - Get the fault codes read, it'll tell you where the fault is

you had any spluttering/Mis-fires?

last service done?

But been Automatic - i'd be inclined to say that the "triangle symbol" means Gearbox?

Could be on for a number of reasons?

cheers for the quick answer,going to ring fiat later,how much do you think code reading will cost and can it be done diy,i can find a laptop to use what else do i need ?

no spluttering or misfires,but sounds like a bag of spanners and wont rev higher than 2000 revs

I'd start then with cleaning all the earths

Probably the best way to eliminate any odd behaviour cause of it

Take off the oil filler cap and look at cam shaft.
Crank engine.
If cam not moving the cam belt has failed.

Even if it is moving take off the cam belt cover and check the belt for missing teeth.

Noisy auto box usually needs specialist attention.
