Technical Odometer Flashing on Twinair 0.9 but car running fine

[ssray23]

Hi,

I am in a bit of a conundrum on how to fix a flashing odometer on my TwinAir 0.9 (2012 Reg).

After reading various forums and speaking to garages (including Fiat Stellantis), I figured out there are a few options on the table. (Note: I have already done the battery reset procedure by disconnecting the negative terminal - did not help).

1. Take out the faulty Blue&Me ECU, ship it for a repair, reinstall the fixed ECU and then perform a proxi alignment to recognise the rebuilt ECU.
2. Take out the faulty Blue&Me ECU, install a brand new ECU and then perform a proxi alignment to recognise the new ECU
3. Remove the faulty Blue&Me ECU and recode the system to reflect there is no Blue&Me anymore.
4. Do nothing - let the odometer flash - just ignore it as the car runs fine.

Given that the car has no other issues (touchwood!), serviced by Fiat just 2 weeks back, runs reasonably well and I plan to drive it for at least next 2-3 years, which of the above options would be my best bet without burning a massive hole in my pocket? Are there any risks with Option 4 or Option 3? I am still confused if Option 3 actually gets rid of the flashing odometer or just prevents other issues related to electrical system??

Thanks in advance,
Ray

If you send the B&M module away for repair it should just work again once it's reinstalled no need to do anything else.

Same with number 3 no need to do anything just unplug the B&M module.

Don't do nothing re 4) you'll suffer parasitic battery drain.

Number 2 entirely up to you new B&M modules are expensive and second hand ones might not work anyway.

Read my mind I am inclined to go with Option 1.

Option one best or option three if moneys tight!

Hi again,

So I got a diagnostic test done today from a nearby garage and below is report:

I understand first two entries indicate the faulty B&M node for which I need to go with Option 1 (i.e., repair, reinstall and Proxy), but curious about the third one i.e. P1810-79. Is it related to the faulty B&M by any chance or something else I also need to worry about?

FYI - No issues with the auto-transmission or engine lights / messages when I drive the car.

Thanks,
Ray

surely stored means stored code? in which case it could have been there for years?

I guess so - never seen a manifestation of this 'stored' code on the instrument cluster warning me about anything ever since I started driving this car (from last year) - mechanically, auto-gear shifting works normally...

its just there to worry you! its a fiat K.O.N code (Keep owner nervious!)
