Hi, I have a 2023 Swift Edge 486 - Ducato, its been fine up until now. I started it yesterday and the dash is displaying ABS, ESP & HIll Start unavailable warning messages. Before I book this into the dealership I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was an ABS fuse I could check in case it was an easy fix?

Could be one of many, many things. ABS sensors, brake pedal sensor, steering angle sensor plus a lot more.
Very unlikely to be a fuse and as it’s still under warranty, I would get it booked in.
There have been several issues with the power steering and engine looms where water gets into a connection and corrodes causing loss of power steering. It isn’t a cheap fix either so I would ask Fiat to check that while it’s in. This is particularly so in motorhomes where often the under tray which provides some protection has been removed on A class models.

On my euro5 fusebox, none of the fuses are identified on the cover. Neither are they in the handbook. It states that fuses are a Fiat garage job!
I had problems with my airbag light, and during the fault finding process, removed a fuse which was for the abs. A light came on and even after refitting the fuse, needed it reset with software. I used Mes. My fuse was top right hand corner. I'll try and get a photo but even if the fuse had gone you'll need Mes or similar. Do you have access to this?

Well it is almost Christmas! Fingers crossed it doesn't return.Thanks all. As luck would have it I took the MH for a short drive as it had been parked up for 8 weeks and within 2 minutes of driving all faults have cleared themselves.that’s the end of the issue.
Perhaps those functions are unobtainable if the battery is low? My car is similar in that the stop/start and collision automatic braking functions are similarly unobtainable when the battery is low at start up. The handbook says this is to be expected and is not a system malfunction.Thanks all.
