05 360 Odometer problem!

I haven't heard or read about this particular problem but I have read about various problems which seem to be associated with low or near dead battery. From recollection most issues seem to resolve themselves over time.

I'd suggest you replace the battery or at the very least give it a full charge. While doing that you'll obviously have the battery master switch turned to off for some time.

Try it next day. Might well resolve the issue all on it's own.

 

I had a bad bat on my 360. The dealer but the new battery in by installing it in parelel. They told me if you lose voltage compeletly the dealer has to be reset with the CPU at ferrari. They also told me if you do not do this the car would drive poorly and you would lose some elec functions. They told me it would usually relearn after sdriving it for awhile, The technicain also told me how do help it along by coding it somehow. Sorry I can not remember how it went. Some relearn as the car was designed to do but as the cars age the capaciter which helps hold the logic can fail.

My Lambo also had a dead battery also and my local service guy did some coding things under the hood for the same reason. These are completely different guys.

I wish I new more. Iwould drive it for awhile it may go away.

this link should should help...good luck

although you didn't jump start it, when the car starts and the battery voltage is low the alternator kicks in at a higher charging rate and could damage electronics. put the car on a battery tender, it saves a lot of headaches

 

Perhaps some of the electronics need to be dumbed down.
Low voltage wreaks all sorts of havoc on the "brains".
Discharging the capacitors in controlling computers will cause them to forget perceived malfunctions and start learning over.
Disconnecting the battery cables and connecting a jumper between them will discharge the capacitors. Some, like an Audi I recently serviced, will require this connection remain for several hours.

 

AB- Here is the factory procedure for resetting the ECUs by disconnecting the battery.

The odometer readings for 360s are contained in a 2 MB chip that is mounted in the instrument panel, but it sounds like you are actually having trouble with the button. If it does turn out to be an instrument panel question, these are the guys who can repair it.

Does anyone know the outcome of this issue ?

 

He posted twice and disappeared, so nobody will likely ever know, which is actually fairly typical.

Thanks.

 

I am experiencing the same problem now...
I cannot revert to the original odometer reading and i am stuck at the trip odo.
This may have been the result of the car sitting 3 months during which it was driven only 3 times... low battery?
I am wondering how was the problem solved... already sent a PM hoping it will be seen soon

Regards to all

 

Has anyone figured out how to resolve this issue. I am having this exact issue right now with my 04 360. Trip odometer is showing and will not switch to regular odometer. Battery was very close to being dead but the car did start... right after that I noticed the problem. I just installed a new battery today but the button still does not work. Any help would be appreciated
thanks,

 

Well, I have the same issue. My 2004 360 F1 Spider sat in the garage without a battery tender, but the battery never went dead..... but it was close. After the car was started and driven, it was parked and has always placed on a tender.
The trip odometer does not display, only the trip.
I DID remove the instrument cluster and sent it to Ferrari Electronics in Costa Mesa, California. They hooked it up and confirmed that the cluster was working properly. They were able to cycle through all displays. No charge, and they returned it back. (Great Guys!!).
Installed, back into the car, started....AND...... same issue.

I wonder if there is something that keeps the switches from working properly with low power. But the car stays on the battery tender ALL THE TIME. Even after 10 months on the tender, it still has the issue.

Any new ideas??

 

I had the same issue, was convinced that something within the cluster was fried after my battery went flat.
Anyway as you've just discovered the cluster is ok! and the issue is actually within the white connector on the back of the two buttons (bad connection)

here's the fix...
1. Remove the button panel
2. Unplug the white connector (note I removed the four screws for trouble shooting, no need to do this)
3. Ever so slightly bend pin 3 (Black wire, yellow trace)

Just one of those coincidental things, button b most likely hadn't been working for some time before your / my battery issues!

Nice! This is why I love FChat. Hoping this works for OP.

^Did you notice that OP's post was from 2010. Probably he has gotten it sorted out in seven years =) But will help others definitely who continue to have this issue.

 

FChat is a great resource! It's one of the reasons I ended up with an Fcar, there's just such a great knowledge base here.

 

I will try this repair this weekend...as long as the rain holds off.

 

I've had the same problem intermittently since I bought my Spider.
I will try this procedure and report back.
THANKS!!!!

 

I just tried this trick and it worked, just by bending the flat connector ever so slightly up, it gave a better connection to the wire! Thank you so much.
