I have a 2017 Lounge 1.2ltr Fiat 500 model year 2016 that throws up intermittent ESC and Stop & Start, and Hill Holder warning lights.
The faults occurred two weeks ago and again today.
Today I started the car to warm it up and defrost before travelling and all was well, however having switched of the ignition and then started the car to move off I had a number of warning lights come on, they were ESC System, Stop Start deactivated and Hill Holder deactivated plus a Generic Failure Notification.
The same warning lights came on two weeks ago but after driving for approximately 30/40 minutes and switching the engine on and off the warning lights gradually went off, the same occurred today, the ESC light went out then a few minutes later having stopped and turned the engine on and off the Stop Start system light went out and the Stop Start system was again fully functional.
When the problem first occurred fault codes P1220 and C1221 were found and then deleted, but by the time they were read the car was fully functional with no warning lights, I have not been able to check the fault codes today but will do next week to see what appears.
My question is therefore, has anyone had this type of intermittent but recurring problem?
Could this be down to battery charge/voltage or a system/control module problem.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
