Technical Fiat 500 dualogic error

[lczoccante]

Hi everyone,
While driving my Fiat 500 0.9 TwinAir semi-automatic on a busy road, I suddenly received a warning on the dashboard that read "Check transmission see handbook." As a result, I lost engine power and was unable to engage any gear. I ended up having to stop in the middle of the road. Despite trying to turn the car off and on again, the error message continued to display (similar to what happened in this video attached below).

After a few more attempts, the car finally started working again, but the experience was quite scary. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? After doing some research in this forum, it seems that a low level of transmission fluid could be the cause of the problem, but not sure. it was a damp road, I was wondering if could be some electronic issue ?

Anyone has any suggestion ?

I am from north London UK if anyone know a good FIAT specialist in London that can look into this dualogic system ?

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Dualogic faults are, sadly, by no means unusual.

We've a whole thread dedicated to issues with the dualogic transmission. I'll move this post over to that thread for you. Have a read through and you'll get a better insight into your problem.

To keep things in one place, please can everyone continue the discussion here.

Anyone has any suggestion ?

Whatever happened will most likely have logged a fault code. I'd say it would be worth getting the code read; that will help us to advise you better. It will likely need a specific Fiat code reader to do this; it's possible there may be a forum member not too far away who has the right tool for this. There's one in particular I'm thinking of who's been one of our most helpful members - he's south of the river if you can make it across to SE London.
