    Code P2185 (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2 - High circuit High)
    Codes P2418 (Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control/Open)
    Code P2400 (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Control - Circuit/Open)

    Can someone please point me in the right direction to the location of the sensors and explain the problem a bit so I can replace it?



    Thank you in advance!

    coolant sensor is at the oil/water pump, somewhere under the engine, at the RH, inner, you can use the oil filter as a basic navigator ----- #30 in the pic below

    evap valve is at LH of the engine bay , towards the rear, #18, maybe even #11, or #8. Anything with a connector ( no connector = no code, general rule of thumb)

    note that coolant sensor picture has 2x #30.
    my experience is that usually the #18 in evap diagram went wrong.( 2 times during my tenure). It can be tested by removing it, clean it, and blow it using your mouth ( if you aren't ocd hygene-ist)

    just a basic guide... not an expert, not a 100% correct evaluation of your problem.

    Thanks I appreciate you taking the time to reply in such detail.
    Do you happen to know which #30 is is number 2?

    ha? The coolant temp sensor? Should be the top one on the diagram. Ferrari diagrams are sometimes confusing. So take it with a grain of salt.
    once you spot the part, see if it is inserted to coolant passages, that's the best way of determining it.

    F430 has 2 coolant sensors one near the crankcase and another one deep down have to remove undercover to access.
    But I have no clue which is which so I'll try unplugging one and see which is number 2 since it says number 2 is stuffed

    I see. Couldn't help more from this point. THe sensor is only like $20, so I guess its not too much of an expense to try.
