    My brake fluid is between 1/2 and full so I wanted to top it off. Book says (see some owners do read the book) to do a complete ecu power off reset.

    Is this necessary?

    Can you cite your reference? I can't find this in either the 360 Owner's Manual or 360 Workshop Manual.

    Thanks.

    Brake fluid clutch fluid fill. I'm on the beach right now but think it was 5.11 or 5.22 in the owners manual.

    Maybe we are looking at different Owner's Manuals. Below is a picture of the manual I am using; in it, 5.11 is steering fluid and 5.22 is wheels and tires. Please post your reference.

    Thanks.

    5.15. "If level is low disconnect the electricity supply" I'm reading that as possibly turning the battery off which is why I asked the question

    I have attached Section A 3.18 from the Ferrari Workshop Manual. I believe that Connector 2 is what the Owner's Manual is referring to.

    I just unscrewed the cap, added the fluid, and good to go. No lights or warnings so I'm assuming it was like mentioned above, just the connector.

    More strange Ferrari (aka Italian) phraseology. :)

    360 WSM is really bad with all kinds of errors. Be careful out there.

    Good advice.

    Many of the translations are totally confusing, or just plain wrong; the wiring diagrams are especially bad.

    You sure as heck don't want to use the information verbatim.

    The wiring diagrams are the best in the industry if used decrypted on a computer the way they were designed. I can trace any circut on the car in about 15 seconds. I know geographically where it runs and every connector and every component it touches on the way there.

    Sorry, could not upload what you asked (size maybe?)

    Anyway, PM your e-mail address, and I'll send my marked-up version. Basically, some pins numbered wrong and missing connector diagrams. Appears mostly corrected in that separate Spider wiring diagram document.
