Punto emergency call system error

My 2006 Fiat Punto (gasoline engine) is showing an error with the emergency call system. I'm getting an error message and warning light, and there's an error stored in the memory. I'm suspecting a defective cable or plug connection. Anyone else experienced this?

I had something similar with my Punto. It was indeed a faulty connection in the control module. Have you checked the diagnostic codes? That might give you a clearer picture of where the issue lies. It could be a simple fix or require a replacement part.

Thanks for the hint. What exactly do you mean by 'control module'? And, how did you find out it was a faulty connection?

The control module, or ECU, is the car's computer basically. It manages a lot of functions. In my case, the diagnostic tool pointed to a specific error code related to the emergency call system. The mechanic then checked the physical connections to that module and found a loose plug. I suggest going to a workshop to get the error memory read.

Thanks, I'll take it to the workshop for a diagnostic check. The invoice says 'Cable or plug connection of the component defective' and lists 95€ for repair. Seems like you were spot on!
