Fiat Punto engine warning light comes on if i take a corner too fast
Variant: Grande Punto 58 Plate
Model Year: 2008
Categories:
Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
Hi,
This only happens in a few places that I know of on my travels.
1st one is a left hand tight turn in which if I don't slow down and put into 1st in flashes
2nd one is if i turn right at a set of traffic lights without stopping (usually at a speed above 2nd gear)
3rd one is a left turn where again if I go round it at speed it will flash.
from this i can gather i'm taking turns too fast or that there is something linked to the steering where a loose connection is triggered..
Anyone any ideas? Should I take it for a computer test? Is it expensive?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like a connection issue you could get the codes read data logging in ECM should give a clue to the fault or just drive sensibly so as not to agrivate the issue and potentially wreck your engine,but that would be no fun would it.
