Technical crank sensor on 1.6- where is it
Bottom right in the pic..
Crank or rpm sensor won't have anything to do with ASR
Yeah but what the hell he wanted to know so I shot the pic at him..gave me summat to do and keeps me out of mischief..
What have you tried so far with regards to getting shot of the asr warning ? you can always switch the traction control off and drive like Argo does with his scarf and hair blowing in the wind..
so ur telling me if i turn my asr of i wont get any problems or any failure warnings yh?
i think all these issues happened when i got my discs changed n cv pump or cv boot- could changing these cause any problems if the garage werent aware of certain fiat specifics

Ahhh... now we have the info.
Check that the wheel speed sensor (for the side the CV boot was replaced) has been refitted/connected correctly.

That would be ABS tho Dave wouldnt it..:chin:
It's one of the reasons. Although the most frequent reason for ASR failure is a faulty or incorrectly adjusted brake light switch. That usually accompanies ABS failure and (if fitted) cruise control failure though.
The wheel speed/ABS sensor is the only thing in the vicinity of the CV joint that could affect ASR unless your garage has damaged the impulse ring built into the CV joint (unlikely).
It could be that someone (garage or you) has put a foot under the brake pedal and pulled it up. That would affect the switch adjustment.
Search for "brake switch" in the Stilo forum, there lots of posts about it and how to adjust it correctly. It's quite easy, just a bit fiddly, to do.

I'd have thought this would only generate an ABS error (maybe followed by ASR since ASR can't work without ABS)
I've always assumed a non rotating wheel must generate an ABS error whereas 4 wheels rotating out of sync will generate an ASR error (like with wrong sized tyres) :chin:
I had it when I drove to Greece earlier this year, ASR Failure, ABS Failure and Cruise Control Failure. I wasn't too fussed about the ASR and ABS, but wanted the Cruise Control for the Autoroutes, Autobahns and Autostradas. Stopped in a service area in France to adjust the brake switch.
Surely a non rotating wheel is what the Wheel Speed/ABS sensors are supposed to detect. That wouldn't be an error situation.

Brake switch will of course disable cruise but why should it cause an ABS & ASR fault to be displayed (I'm talking in your case now)
After all, it's perfectly reasonable to hit the brake pedal very lightly when you're only thinking of braking or entering a fast bend.
If I pull the handbrake (locking rear wheels) and drive steadily without front wheels spinning, I get the ASR light flash continously.
Eh... not do be done on asphalt or in traffic, but is quite fun on a parking lot at night.
You need a pretty slippery surface - like snow.So there are some logics in the ASR system. Maybe I have to test the front wheels ABS system while the rear wheels are locked. Will that work?
Brake switch will of course disable cruise but why should it cause an ABS & ASR fault to be displayed (I'm talking in your case now)
The brake switch comprises of 2 seperately wired switches, I believe one operates the high level brake light and the other, the low level brake lights via the BC. I assume one of the switches also operates the ABS.
I don't really see how just being out of adjustment would cause an ABS failure, but if it does, then, as you suggested earlier, that would be followed by an ASR failure. Certainly with mine, it only need the switch adjusting and no more beeps or warnings.
