We have a fiat panda 2012 twin air and the check engine start stop unavailable message came on. Looking at posts I think it might be to do with the battery but am just checking it It is ok to drive home and book it in to get checked it is a new purchase (second hand) so don’t know the age of the battery Mechanic's Assistant: Does the battery look like it's leaking? And does it have a strong smell -- like sulfur? No Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model of your '12 Fiat? Ef62avy fiat panda 4x4 twin air 2012/13 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? The start stop has not worked since we bought it but I don’t like it so would have turned it off anyway. So we pulled over, turned off car restarted to reset electrics but the start stop button light stayed on. Have checked all the fluids and they are at the right levels
