Ferrari 360 Challange Stradale F1 Warning light

[Royalr]

Hi Guys,

Not driven my car much this year and has been standing for a few months. Tried to start today and it struggled to start and noticed the the F1 warning light and the ASR warning came on and a long warning beep.

I opened the engine bay and could hear the f1 throttle clicking. The car starts but runs very rough

Has anybody got an idea what could be the problem?

[Royalr]

yes the check engine light is on.

Try the battery reset as recommended above. When turning the car back on let it idle for 3-4 minutes.

I turned if off with the cut off switch over night. I'll start it later today and let it idle for 4 minutes.

Will let you know how I got on.

Thanks

Make sure the battery is good before you try again as per Voicey's advice.

I had a similar issue with the ASR light when cranking that I chased to a poor earth connection off the battery cut-off switch. Same effect (low voltage), different cause.....

Didn't start it but put the ignition on was was still continuously beeping with fault light, put it on trickle charge and will start it tomorrow. Also cut the power from the battery cut off switch.

Will see what happens tomorrow.

quick update, left it on trickle charge all night and did all of the above but still no luck.

You need to get it connected to an SD2/3. It could be a bad ECU, but when one of mine went down the car wouldn't start at all, so it may be something else, such as a faulty throttle body.
(If swapping the ECUs over moves the fault to the other bank, then it is ECU related.)
Note: right ECU controls left bank and vice versa.
If you do need a replacement ECU don't go to Ferrari, there are much cheaper options.
Best of luck. As said above, feel free to drop me a line.

thanks for the info what are the cheaper option?

[Royalr]

had to have both the ecu's replaced one had blown but ferrari only sold as a pair

From memory I think it was about £4200 that was with the programming
