EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
(petrol versions - amber)
Injection system failure
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light turns on but it should go off after engine starting.
If the warning light stays on or turns on when traveling, means a fault in the supply/ignition system which could cause high emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of performance, poor handling and high consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated message is displayed.
In these conditions it is possible to continue driving without however requiring heavy effort or high speed from the engine. In any case, contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
EOBD engine control system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light turns on, but it should go out as soon as the engine is started. The initial turning on indicates that the warning light is working properly. If the warning light stays on or turns on when traveling:
– glowing steadily: means a fault in the supply/ignition system which could cause high emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of performance, poor handling and high consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated message is displayed.
In these conditions it is possible to continue driving without however requiring heavy effort or high speed from the engine. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the warning light on may cause damages. Contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. The warning light goes off if the fault disappears, but it is still stored by the system.
– flashing: indicates the possibility of damage to the catalyst (see “EOBD system” in this section).
If the light flashes, it is necessary to release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing; continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
If, turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light does not turn on or if it turns on glowing steadily or flashing when traveling (on certain versions together with the message on the display), contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. Warning light operation can be checked by traffic agents by proper equipment.
Comply with laws and regulations of the country where you are driving.
