I had it once when i "turned" the steeringwheel before the "start-checkup"
has finished. I mean when you turn the key to MAR, then all the checklights
come on. It shouldn't make any difference but it does with our 2000 Punto
Sporting. In your case, however, i don't really know. :-( Maybe someone
else around here has some more useful information.

Mine failed after 2 years and had to have the entire steering unit
replaced - had only done 2,000 miles as well cos I was hardly driving it
at the time!!
