Update that might help some owners.
Bought my 2017 Quad on 7-8-2017. (Well, leased it
)
I had a situation where often, the car would start flashing warning lights - like, ALL of them, across the main display in the center of the instrument cluster, while dinging:
Service Engine
Service ATV System
Service Dampers
Service Electronic Throttle Control
Service Electronic Parking Brake
Twice, this caused Limp Mode where the speed limit and tach indicators would drop to 0 (while the car was driving down the road) and the A/C compressor would go off.
There was no recognizable rhyme or pattern to this. It would happen at various speeds, warmth of the car, length of the drive, etc. But it would clear itself after a few dozen miles and stops/restarts of the car. So I had a problem.
I finally got it to the dealership WHILE it was happening though so they could read the codes !! They kept my car for 17 days. Called in an Alfa tech from wherever they come from. They changed the battery, took the car apart inside and in the trunk, had all sorts of things taken apart.
Here was the solution and what they fixed:
M5300: INFORMATION LINE
Caused by FOUND INLINE CONNECTOR NOT FULLY SEATED NEC TO CONNECT PROPERLY. INSTALLED 6NS79U4TAA :SHIFT TOWER INSTALLED 68377658AA :BODY CONTROL MODULE
RRT FLASH
Caused by RRT 17-081 NEC TO REPLACE GLOVE BOX TO CORRECT CONCERN INSTALLED 6RL83LXHAA
OOR, GLOVE BOX
And guess what? 11 days, not a single glitch !! Car is acting like a new $80K car is supposed to act.
All that hassle, multiple trips to the dealership, from an electrical connection that was not all the way seated !!
So if anyone sees that symptom, this might be your solution.
Hope this helps someone else !! :nerd:
