Hi there, so after several years without issue my 156THP after being left standing for a few weeks decided to throw up a Engine Fault check message on the centre display yesterday, checked the codes and it’s P0070 & P0494 - then given the battery was slightly sluggish on first turnover I took it for a long run and the engine temperature gauge instead of being at 90 as it always is was reading only 50 ish and would rise up and then drop back again over the course of the journey….. in the past I’ve had some wild external temps showing on the screen like -40 but these always sorted themselves and no codes/engine warnings, so I’m thinking battery might be the cause but I tried clearing the codes but they return immediately upon restarting the engine…. Is there an issue with the coolant thermostat that is causing the issue (no leaks etc I can see) but not sure how that would affect ambient temp sensor? I did also get some weird messages flash up once yesterday about brake fluid low (which I know is ok as I checked it)
Not sure if I should go get a new battery fitted and see what happens or if there are other tests needing done before I spend money in the wrong place appreciate your thoughts
