Emergency Call System Error

I've got a 2012 Fiat Petra, diesel engine, with about 232980 km on the clock. Recently, I've been getting an error message in the speedometer, along with a warning light, related to the emergency call system. The error memory also stores this. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it really just be a faulty cable or plug connection like I read somewhere?

Summary of the thread

A 2012 Fiat Petra owner reported an error message and warning light related to the emergency call system. The issue was suspected to be a faulty cable or plug connection. After consulting with others who experienced similar problems, it was suggested that the problem might be more complex, possibly involving the telematics system. However, upon taking the car to a workshop, it was confirmed that the issue was indeed a defective plug connection, which was replaced, resolving the problem.

That's odd. I had a similar issue with my old Opel Astra, although it was the model from 2016. Same symptoms - error message, warning light... Drove me nuts! Could be a connection, yeah, but are you sure it's not something more complex with the telematics?

Interesting that you had the same problem with an Opel. More complex, huh? Like what? I'm not really a car guy, so I'm hoping it's something simple I can sort out myself, or at least not cost me an arm and a leg at the shop.

Well, in my case, it turned out to be a module issue. But honestly, with those symptoms and the error code pointing to a connection, it's best to get it checked. I ended up taking mine to a workshop, and they sorted it quickly enough. Could save you a lot of guessing and fiddling around.

I took it to a local workshop. Turns out it was just a defective plug connection like I initially suspected. They replaced it, cleared the error, and everything's working fine now. Cost me 95€, which isn't too bad. Appreciate the help!
