Hello guys,
I recently stumbled upon a problem with my ‘06 Grande Punto 1.4.
Four weeks ago all of a sudden I lost electric steering. The red light went on, on the dashboard. After a few hours it went back to normal, and then back to error every once in a while. After a week I went to the garage. My garage guy said it would probably be the accu, so I had it replaced. The problem was gone for three weeks. Last week electric steering stopped again. My garage guy said it would probably be a steeringsensor. I drove for 2,5 hours to a guy that could replace that. The guy over there did some tests. He even putted a brand new steering column in. Problem wasn’t solved.
The guy tested my car on the computer. The OBD test was with a bad connection. It gave fault code U1702 (CANBUS connection problem). Now I don’t know where to start, and how to fix it. Some guy told me it could be the grounding of the battery.
Someone here knows how I can have this fixed? A lot of garages don’t know the solution, and I’m quiet nervous this could be very pricy.
Thanks a lot!
