Hello guys I need some advice for my cruise control issues.
I’ve got a Fiat Grande Punto 1.4, 8v from 2007 born with cruise control.
This happens 2/3 times I try to use CC:
Cruise control turns on with the display text and dashboard light, but it doesn’t engage. When turning it off on the stalk the dashboard light doesn’t turn off and the car needs to be turned off for a while before the dashboard light turns off.
This error can be triggered stationary and while moving in the highway, however it has never occurred with the engine turned off.
MES gives me the error code: U0405-81 “lost communication with cruise control module”.
Everything else works and I have no other error codes so the CAN bus connections should be ok? I’ve checked the earth connections and they are fine. A new battery was fitted 2 years ago. MES reports no problem with clutch switch and brake switch and can see when they are pressed. MES reports no need for proxy alignment and CC turned on.
Any suggestions? I really want to use the cruise control again.

- this error code was hard to find, it isn’t always logged.

- Funny thing, when the error occurs MES can see the CC be turned on and off however the dashboard light stays on.
