Day 2 with my SF90, Engine Control System failure?!

in FF/lusso land it means your battery has a bad cell

 

None of us can know for 100% sure- but… it likely means you didnt get enough volts into the system when starting the car and that freaked out some computer. Try parking and locking the car (this will get things to reset as much as you can do it without disconnecting the battery which I dont know if thats OK with the SF90) and then put it on the tender, wait for it to charge up and then try restarting in a few hours/ tomorrow…. In addition to the hybrid battery, these cars still have the regular battery and the odds of you getting a bad one are higher than anyone would ever like.

no biggy.
If you can not charge, then drive for a while(15min) and park then lock unlock 3times, and warning will be gone.
That is my experiences.

Like others say, it is 12V battery that has low voltage. Have a long good drive once a week

A lot of the warnings and bugs usually disappear after a small drive and a restart. Of course check and see if the car feels in order as well before going for a drive.

 

Keep your keys away from the car while it’s locked and charging. Apparently if they’re too close m. they can turn on certain systems and impede charging.

 

And this is the same company that is going to try bringing a 100% electric to market one day? Or better yet, 'mass' produce an SUV intended for daily use?

I love these cars, don't get me wrong. But rebooting a $400k car which is supposed to be an engineering milestone.... well, that just ain't right.

Goodness me.

 

Unavoidable issues when it comes to new technologies

And they said that electric cars would be more reliable as they´re simpler.

Ha, ha.

 

It is true that an electric motor is much simpler than an internal combustion engine. These are teething problems, because electric cars are new. Imagine what a nightmare ICE cars were when they first got out. That said, nothing beats the emotional attachment one can have with a good ICE powered car, be it pure ICE, or hybrid.

 

Yes, at some moment they should be vastly more reliable than petrol engines. But still, I´m a bit disappointed about how crude the electric cars that they´re selling now are. It looks as they just don´t give a **** about getting them right as EVs are still a small part of their business. With the current technology they could be slow or short ranged but at least reliable.

 

You get similar problems with pure ICE cars nowadays, since they have become so complicated. Most of the times it is just software needing resetting, or something like that. Sometimes an ECU needs to be replaced, that's a bummer.

 

Glad to hear it sorted itself out.

 

The first electric car was built in the 1830’s, definitely not a new idea! Lol!

The idea is not new but the current level of technology and implementation are.

 

With the complexity of the SF90 and the hybridization, and it being Ferrari’s inaugural attempt, not expecting reliability issues is simply naive. There will be many more on the horizon. Being the first owner of this car is courageous or foolhardy, depending upon your perspective.

 

As much as I am into Ferrari, their quality system issues keep me on the outside looking in

The SF90 (most amazing car) and Roma issues illustrate why there was a shift in management to a techy

My Gen 2 NSX is over 5 years old and has been great and doesn’t have to live on a tender

 

Replace ion module. Perform software update and clear faults.
