Hi everyone,
I've bought Grande Punto 1.4 v8 2009 recently. Nice little city runner I had to say.
But.
Like in the title. Power steering cuts off and error pops on the dashboard. Turning engine off and then on will bring power steering back. So far it happened only once but seller mention this problem and apparently his mechanic told him it's because battery is too small for the car.
Battery was replaced not long ago and its this one:
12V 42Ah 390A Yuasa SMF
Today I finally had a moment to connect MES and there is an error C1002-17:
Is this really be caused by battery being too small?? I was not able to find any information in service book regarding spec for battery replacement. Most of the on-line stores recommends 55 Ah / 500 Amps for this car tho.
Obviously I will follow MES hints and check wiring/fuses/weak connections hopefully this weekend.
----
What is actual recommended battery spec for this model?
Well if not battery or wiring then torque position sensor will need replacing ?
I know power steering is an common issue with this car but I hope maybe someone here had in the past exactly the same error and could say some more.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
