I have had a Fiat Grande Punto 2009 since 3 years. After having regular problems with the CAN network and computers, it seems I have now narrowed the problem down to humidity.
When looking back at the times the car was giving problems, it seems it was always in the rainy season (I live on a tropical island with 2 seasons - dry and wet).
So now we have had a lot of rain recently and at first the problems reoccured (CAN and computer error messages, check transmission, could not read temperature, fuel cut-off not available etc. etc.) but then I bought a cover for the car (we do not have a garage of car port) and since using the cover (about 2 weeks now) the problems have not resurfaced.
Does anybody have any idea where this humidity can get into the network and computers?
Thank you for any suggestions.
