Battery light on and break light on
Break light is no joke have the brake system checked for internal and external leaks . If none are found then itspossibly the brake hand / foot switch.
Battery lite could be incorrect battery or alternator is defective or the wiring behind alternator is corroded and lastly voltage regulator may be defective.
My vehicle is losing coolant with no signs of any leaks
Have you pressure-tested the cooling system? Has the engine been overheated? If there are no signs of external leaks, you may have an internal leak. You may have a cracked cylinder head or a blown head gasket. Check the engine oil on the dipstick- is it pure oil or does it have bubbles of moisture on it? Does it smell like coolant? The ticking may be a result of little lubrication of the engine oil due to the presence of coolant. It would also cause your power issue.

Hi Mal, Take the vehicle for a diagnostic scan. The flashing light is indicating a fault in the system, which will be identified by the scan report. Regards John

Hi there:Other than a bad connection / chaffed wire etc - which can happen - so be sure all is ok there - then the problem is going to be a faulty TPS ... throttle position sensor / switch..This isn't unusual to happen / go wrong on these - No amount of re learn procedures will cure a faulty one Im afraid - so its a new one that is needed to cure these issues that you have with this one.The TPS ( sensor ) is at the pedal on this one.... and its this that Im referring too. This can be checked using diagnostic equipment - using live data - it can be checked to see f its working and when its not etc.Not all garages would be able to do this depending on what equipment they have and their level of knowledge - but I would suggest it would be a good idea to have it checked out as above to confirm the fault .. You have the TCU - Throttle control unit - but thats inside and a part of the TPM - Throttle position motor ...on the engine. Your fault codes though would indicate the TPS - at the pedal.There is also a common fault on these that causes throttle / power loss... Im not so sure this fits the symptoms you describe but it might be worth a consideration... For this - a reprogram / software update has to be performed by either a Fiat dealer - or some garage that has the equipment to do that ....It might be worth you having a word with the local Fiat dealers to have that side of things done in any case - again - as its a common fault.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
