Technical Traction control warning light

[TC68]

Help please this issue is driving me crazy and putting me off driving my lovely fiat 500
I purchased a fiat 500 2019 model.

It was a pleasure to drive for the past 6 months but I am now experiencing the following issues;

Stop start function will disenable itself whilst driving – an amber triangle appears with an exclamation mark and s/s amber light is activated Shortly after the traction control light comes on and bleeps. This can happen after driving in a stretch of road or just as I start to drive

I have taken the vehicle to the garage – their diagnostic showed no issues – they drove the car and no warning lights appeared. Said it may be to do with the brake? Also mentioned there was 3 separate codes fir the start stop function which they deleted 2 codes

When I collected the car I drove 2 miles and the same issues occurred

This has made me lose confidence in my car and anxious it will skid off the road. Someone advised me to just turn the ASR off but surely this is dangerous and will cause the vehicle to be unstable

Any advise would be greatly received

Hi,
quite possibly it's the factory battery getting old

Sensors rely on a stable power supply, drops in electrical power can flag random faults

Tayna can ship a top quality Battery to your door from next day delivery

That is cheaper than a Dealership visit

next things to have a look...
the ground connection from the engine to the chassis
the wiring loom in the tail gate (everything there works or not)
and last, but not least (it was the fault in my case) the brake pedal switch (warnings often come when hitting the brake pedal)


good luck, Jo

The car is perfectly safe to drive whilst sorting the problem

Thank you for your replies. Will mention the above to the garage. The mechanic did mention the brake pedal switch but was relyctant to do any work incase it did not solve the issue. Drove the car on Saturday 20 miles and no issue but I am on tender hooks waiting for the signs to come back on again

I have taken the car to Halfords to have the free 10 point checks - they advised the battery is fine and all fluid levels are ok
