Hi Yani,

I discovered a detail that might be useful.
The old instrument panel showed the temperature indication of the decimal (ex. 15.5, 5.0, 25.5 etc.).
The new instrument panel, indicates only the whole numbers (eg. 15, 5, 25 etc.).

Could this be the reason that it leaves to display temperature?

P.S. I also did another test, I changed the temperature sensor with that for Stilo> 2006, the situation has not changed. NPG to the node temperature and proper, after the body temperature is -40.
I conclude that the problem is 100% in the body computer programming.

Please do not give up!

Ok, but the problem is definitely not in the number format.
I don't have any new report from a 2006+ Stilo since the last time I sent you a test.
When I receive a new report (and find something interesting in it) I will give you a new test...

Hi Yani,

I have some news on the problem ...

I connected the instrument panel to a Fiat Stilo produced in 2006 and the temperature is displayed correctly.
I connected the same instrument panel in my Stilo and the temperature is no longer displayed.

In the Driver's Door node the signal is ok, in The Climate Control is ok, in the Instrument cluser in -40 and not displayed.

The problem is 100% CAN communication between Body Computer and Instrument Panel.

In addition, I have a permanent error, non-erasable, in the ABS module: "Failure to communicate with the instrument panel." So the instrument cluster is not communicating properly even with ABS.

You could prepare those old test for the new multiecuscan 3.4.2? Because I would try again!

Thank you!

Did this ever get sorted, having the same problem with mine. Fitted the 16v mutlijet cluster and even though the temp symbol shows when MES is connected i.e. like this --:-- °C and MES can read the temp from the sensor. Once it's disconnected the area for the outside temp remains blank. I've checked in MES and it says it's activated etc. done a proxy alignment which went ok but still nothing. The old unit does display it though. Any Ideas ?
