Hi. My 2013 Panda TA 4x4 has just started to come up with a warning triangle with ESC, start stop and hill holder not available.

It's just less than a month since it ended the 3 year warranty and my dealer has said it's £100+ for the diagnostic.

I'm a little p******d off as I already has a case open with Fiat via the dealer since before the warranty expired relating to my noisy brakes from new.

I'm tempted to buy something to look what the fault is myself out of interest. Looking at previous posts http://www.multiecuscan.net is recommended. I've read about the different options but it seems I either pay £100+ for something or around £5-10 from an auction site for example.

I'm keen to avoid lots of messing around and I just want something that works and if possible I can get this week before I take it in next weekend.

Can anyone recommend a known good solution for me they have working ?

I've posted this and the Panda area too.

Many thanks fellow forum members
 
You have a look at an app called tourqe, you will also need a reader from eBayat around £9 ,iI'll try and find a link for you
 
The fact they state: Only covers the engine light not ABS, air bag, service etc etc

Doesn't this mean these are potentially limited in use and do I still need adaptor cables to use with the specific car ?

Have you tried one of these on a Fiat or Panda of my age ?

YES - it's NOT as in depth as MES ,

I use the full version of MES ,
and it'll do basically everything except Key - Coding:cool:

the £10 a shot leads are ok, just make sure you get a Fiat group cable ( VAG can work differently)

shame you are so far away , or you could see a demo,:)

almost certainly a voltage drop issue, does the Stop / Start still work..??;)

No it doesn't. You could be right. I've been on a long trip to visit my brother and family today. It didn't have an issue coming home. I have been doing lots of short runs recently.

Do you have a link to the correct cable I should buy to go with the reader you mentioned ?

all appears to be ELM OBD Key.. so this is going to be close;)

NOTE - this has limitations as to which windows your machine uses,
I've got a VERY similar one using Win7 on a net book.

for FULL service , you want a set of the coloured "adaptor leads"

these are also cheaply available on the web, EG.

I'd have go with the FREE version of MES when they arrive,

iron out any niggles before you spend more / get too involved..,

Hi Charlie

The cables and ELM reader arrived today. Very fast delivery :)

I have connected it up and the only faults are in the engine and ABS module:

ABS
Bosch ABS 9 ESP
ISO Code: EC 07 9E 0B F1
Errors found:
C1215 - Brake pedal switch

I have cleared this to see if it comes back. No mention of low battery or anything else.

No warning triangle has come on for since my long drive on Sunday. I think I'll cancel the garage diagnostics unless it happens again in the next two days.

I had to buy the registeted version for it to work with the software but I don't mind as it seems worthwhile having it.

Thanks for your help.
