ROLLOVER SWITCH ?

2000 360 Modena running fine @ 12,000 miles.
Pulled into the drive a little too fast. Got slightly airborne.
No bottoming or any damage.
Engine died.
F1 failure light and audible alarm are constantly on.
Will not start or crank.

Anyone seen this before ?

Thanks

 

Wow!
I’m speechless.

 

DAMN!! you drive like my wife! j/k

Is it showing a symbol on the cluster? There is a shut off for fuel in case of accident but I am unsure if it involves everything being down as you are describing.....Have you tried turning off the master switch in the trunk for a minute & turning back on...?

 

simms- Download a workshop manual from this site and see what it says. The roll-over switch can be reset, so likely no damage done. Must have been a ballbuster of a bump. After you get it running, do an ECU reset and run cycle to get rid of any erroneous data generated.

A lot of useful documents on this site. Take a while to download, but worth the effort:

turn key and usual system check runs.
All looks OK except F1 Failure symbol on the multifunction display stays on
and the audible alarm stays one.
Both stay on constantly. No flashing.

 

Got the manuals.
Looked thru them but nothing seems to match these signals.

 

Any idea what section the rollover switch is in.
The PDF's seem to be not searchable.
I'll keep looking.

 

did you 'reboot' it by switching the battery switch off and then on again yet?

 

Not yet.
I'll give it a try.
Take about an hour to get back.

 

simms- On page 4-31 of the Owner's Manual is the description of the Fuel Supply Interruption Inertia Switch and how to reset.

Terry always post a lot of documents that help me before on trobleshooting my car without having to post questions.

Thanks man

 

Thanks A Lot !
Just getting ready to head back to the car and see what works.
It's still sitting in the driveway.
I'll post results.

 

Rob, David- Always happy to help. I get paid back in spades with help myself. Usually from pros like Rob.

Good grief!! You got airborne on your own driveway?!

Hope you get the car running again soon - good luck.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

It was the fuel / inertia switch.
.
Just for the record . . . I was not driving it.

 

simms- I love a happy ending.

Oh... that's even more amazing.

 

curious where is this switch located?

 

Just out of curiosity, how many here have read the owners manual?


All this information is in that book.



Or is it just easier to ask someone else?

 

Ahhh so this explains the user name "pilot"simms

 

LOL!

 

Drivers side footwell under that round plastic cover just inside the door I believe

 

Yes it's just inside the door.
Lesson learned . . .
Be careful who you let drive it .

Yes, this stuff is all in the books.
Someone should take the time to distill them down to english only.
Would be useful. and 1/4 the size.

Thanks Again.

 

I think there is a thread from a member who did that.
