Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Control unit
Operation: Replacement of the airbag ECU on a Fiat 500.

In this video, we see how to replace the airbag control unit when the warning light remains on along with the error messages "fuel interruption not available, start & stop not available," and the seatbelt warning light stays on. The mileage indicator flashes, and various other errors are detected with the OBD11 scanner. The airbag ECU is faulty, and we will need to remove and reinstall it. Before starting the work, we must disconnect the battery. The ECU is located in the driver's footwell (in this case, it is a right-hand drive) under the carpet, and there are some screws to remove. At the bottom, we will find two electrical connectors to disconnect. The website ecuconnection.co.uk with the code 51963734/A2C91736801 offers various reprogramming or repair services for your unit at variable costs ranging from £49.17 to £162.50. The website also provides a helpful video guide for disassembling and reassembling the unit.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
