Fiat Petra electrical malfunctions

I own a 2015 Fiat Petra with a diesel engine. The onboard diagnostics show an error stored in the error memory. I am also experiencing general electrical malfunctions and the navigation system is non-functional. Could this be caused by implausible programming of the control unit?

Sounds like ECU problems. I had similar issues with my Opel Astra, although it was a petrol model. Did the error occur after a software change or after battery replacement?

No software change or battery replacement preceded this issue. Is a software reset the only option here?

Software reset is likely, yes. With my Astra, a full control unit replacement was quoted, but a reset sorted it. It sounds like you need a professional to diagnose the issue. I would suggest a trustworthy workshop.

Thanks for the info. Will get the car checked out by a workshop. The final repair bill was 240€.
