If there wasn't a real problem the light wouldn't be on

i had same issue i disconected the battery for a hour and put it back together and bobs your uncle no light come on. until today though whem a ignition coil went
a fault code reader is well worth the money.. i paid £80 for my second one, and its paid for itself already, your talking 30 quid just for a diag test anyway.. whatever i would recommend getting one.. as i admit that stilos can kick off even if something isnt really at fault...

where would the best place be to pick one up and i it really as simple as just plugging it into the diagnostic plug read the code and finding what that code is relavant to? also does it need to be a fiat one or can a universal one be bought? cheers forthe help
im having the same problem, car is fine, engine fault wont go away, its been on 3 different diagnostics machines and no codes come up. the car runs perfect apart from the annoying beeping and the engine fault on the screen.
i spent £1061.04 trying to fix this (throttle pedal, potentiometer, throttle body, ecu) and its just not fixed or going away and the garage i went to said they could do no more even after paying them the grand!
no more fiats for me!

It needs to go on Examiner to correctly read the codes as otherwise you'll just be throwing your money away - which unfortunately appears to be what you have done
EDIT: Please post to one thread only please - now merged

what is an examiner? i thought thats what the diagnostics machine is? plugged in into the panel on drivers side?
its been to 3 garages and on 3 machines and i think im gonna take it to fiat for a final showdown.
dont know what else to do. thanks for the help tho
Examiner is the original FIAT software.
It can read and erase faults better then the generic ones.

Yes; you need to take your car to a Fiat dealer or an independent Fiat/Alfa specialist who should be skilled in the use of Examiner.
Of course, not only will a specialist garage have the right equipment but they'll have a lot more experience too.

Great! What happened after you went to the FIAT specialist?
I have the same problem with vague reports from local non-fiat garage.
They say it just reports 'random misfire'
