Hi, new to the site
Daughters car is a 2012 500 twin air, has only had it a few months... Bought from a private seller - she was driving along a motorway when she heard a high pitch sound and this message popped up on the dashboard
Start/Stop Unavailable & Check Engine
car went into limp mode EML on, she got off the motorway at next junction and pulled over.
I went out to help, got there c. 1 hour after the incident. I started the car, and drove it home.. not in limp mode and no errors or EML on... seemed fine. Next time out, the error flashed up on screen and limp mode again.
I have had a mechanic look, and there were codes: active and inactive
The mechanic replaced the oil pressure switch and removed the throttle body to examine it, and it seemed ok. He thinks the ABS problem is because someone has overfilled the brake fluid, the brakes seem fine.. I changed the oil/filter spark plugs and air filter.
We cleared the codes, and it seemed fine for a few miles then the warnings came back on and we're in limp mode.
Mechanic says he cant figure it out, and will need the advice of a specialist...
Any Ideas?
Cheers
