How to Reset the Engine Warning Light on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Warning light – error code

If the yellow engine warning light illuminates on the dashboard and the water temperature gauge drops to zero, the issue may be with the thermostat or the temperature sensor. To clear this warning, it is necessary to replace the thermostat and, for safety, also the temperature sensor. To access the thermostat, you need to remove the engine cover and the air filter; the temperature sensor and thermostat are located on the right side of the engine, and after removing the coil pack, you can access them for removal. To free the thermostat, you will need to remove the hose clamp from the water duct.
