    May be the ECU of the LH thermocouple is defective.

    First, if you have access to a infrared heat gun, take the surface temperature of the catalytic converter that is "supposedly" over heating, and them compare it to the side that is "okay". We want to rule out a genuine overheating cat issue.

    If the temps check out okay then....

    Try swapping the thermocouples from one side to the other. The reason is to see if the fault follows the "bad" thermocouple. If you still get the fault on the left side, swap the catalytic converter temperature ecu's from one side to the other. Again to see if the fault follows the "bad" part.

    Ferrari's are NOTORIOUS for having the cat ecu's go bad. Try that and see what you find.

    Thanks for your reply frist...I'll try to use my friend's F360 ECU,catalytic for make sure which part could be causes of the failure ....
    I've took 2 NEW thermocouples already so swap ecu and chek all of rube and connector would be enough I wish...

    Thanks

    In that case I think it's has to be a bad cat ecu.

    Or.....

    You may want to have a close look at the condition of the wiring for the plug connecting to the cat ecu. It could be that the ecu is "good" but the problem is a bad connection, or broken wires.
