Technical Error Messages?

[todetak]

I have owned my 2012 Panda 4x4 Twin Air for 2 months now and really love it. Yesterday as I was driving a message came up 'electrical si' then today when I started it up a message came up 'front right', so I turned the ignition off and back on and no message, so I drove to my neighbour to pick them up, turned off the car, started it back up and the message 'front left' came up. Not sure what these messages mean as I can't seem to find them in the handbook. Anyone else had these come up?

It came with three months warranty which expires on the 3rd January so if it is a problem that needs addressing I would like to sort it sooner rather than later.

OK silly me, I have just realised that the 'front right' and 'front left' came up to say the front doors were open! so please ignore those. The 'electrical si' error is still a mystery.

Try reading the fault codes


Dont bother paying garage prices though..

Hi,
As Varesecrazy says you need to get the fault code read. The best way to do this is with Fiat specific software like Multiecuscan (MES) www.multiecuscan.net and a "ELM 327" interface like /www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Multi-Ecu-Scan-ELM-for-Fiat-Alfa-Romeo-Lancia-Yellow-Can-Cable/303121626970

It's not really worth buying it unless you intend doing your own maintenance. A few forum memebers who have MES offer a free service to memers. Details here
