Intermittent electronic warnings or sensor faults in the Stellantis e-CMP (e-208, Corsa-e, ë-C4…) engine: causes

In the Stellantis e-CMP (e-208, Corsa-e, ë-C4…) engine, 3 documented faults may be the cause: loss of traction from a high-voltage system cut-out (‘electric traction fault’ warning), astra Electric: communication fault between control units that can make the car move backwards (2023) and on-board charger and charging port: AC charging refused or interrupted.[1][2][4][5]

What to do now

Monitor

Note the exact messages and when they appear. Ask for a fault code read-out of all the control units, not just the engine one.

What it means

Messages that appear and disappear (driver assistance unavailable, parking sensors, lights) are usually caused by dirty or faulty sensors, connectors with moisture or software faults.
