Granturismo Warning Lights

[Michael Hunt]

Any other GT owners suffered from the multiple warning lights when the battery gets low?

I normally leave the car on trickle charge when not being used but I forgot. I guess the battery charge got low and now the car thinks there’s plenty wrong with itself: ASR/MRT/ESC, suspension, etc., etc. The battery is now fully charged but the lights are on and the EPB is on so the car won’t budge. Starts no problem and sounds just great but can’t be moved.

Any tips on how to perform a reset? Anyone used an ODB II tool before to do that?

Thanks – Mike

When I had my 3200, the electrics went a bit strange when the battery was flat. I would charge or replace the battery then do a reset. I would always disable the alarm before disconnecting the battery cable.

Hi Michael,

Did you get to the bottom of the problem?

I do use an OBD II tool (EOBD Facile) with a decent bluetooth code reader on my 3200 (one of the late ones with a proper OBDII connector) and on our Alfas. Great for reading the error codes, via the app on a smartphone, and then a google normally tells me which ones can be reset safely.

I would suggest if getting an OBDII code reader to not bother with the very cheap chinese ones available on eBay (~£5) – heard too many horror stories about them….
