Help please guys. So my Grandad has a 2012 Fiat 500 and has been completely fine since he bought it, however, it recently hit 50,000 miles and every warning light imaginable is flashing. Help please?
The seat belt warning light won’t go away even if you have your seat belt on, the mileometer is flashing, the airbag warning lights are both on, saying that they’re both available and unavailable.
Not happy.
You have to have a diagnostic scan run, period. A single error can throw everything into warning mode.
You can buy a diagnostic tool very cheap (like $20) that will pair with an android phone to run diagnostics, will avoid an expensive mechanic visit. Then at least you know what the error codes are, can reset them, see if they come back, research possible repairs, etc.
Go to the service and let the mechanic check it via diagnostics tester(obd) then you will exactly know where is the problem… Can be the wiring or something like that… You cant fix it by yourself without diagnostics…
Ahh okay, cheers:)
Check under the seat. There is usually a connector under there for the seat occupancy sensor. It might have come loose when the car was being vacuum cleaned. That might cause the airbag and seatbelt light to stay on. In some cases the engine light will also stay on in this case
