Hello I'm currently working with a 2008 Ferrari 430 with intermittent ABS/CST lights on. Problem is I can't read codes on ABS, it says No communication with control unit. I tried to read codes with both Launch PAD V and TEXA TXT Multihub with Supercars Package and none could access ABS module. Here is a report of modules and erros using Launch and TEXA(Report in Portuguese): Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login I've done several tests with the scope, ABS module gets power supply, grounds and sensors. Can H and L working properly... Do you think all my scan tools are unable to read codes on ABS module, or ABS Module has an internal problem? Thanks! When scoping abs module signals I've noticed that this digital Line from PIN 11 of ABS module to pin 2 of OBD2 port gets constant 900mV and when I try to access ABS Module with TEXA it reachs 2.3 V, like it was trying to access but without proper response. Every other pin of ABS Module diagram below were tested and seems fine. Image Unavailable, Please Login
One of these days, someone is going to create a scanner which produces messages people can understand. Does ABSENT mean the fault is in memory, but not currently active? Guilherme, what does ATT and MEM mean in Portuguese? 1. U1706 No communication with NFR (brake module) 2. U1700 No communication with NBC (body control module) ... The message is not shown on the TEXA scan... The F430 doesn't have an NBC. If E11 is the OBD2 port on your wiring diagram, then what is X1? In my Scuderia diagrams, nothing appears to be attached to pin 2 of the OBD2 port. Shouldn't you be looking at pin 16 on the OBD2 port for the K line signal?
Yes, absent = memory. ATT = active and MEM = memory. Basically ATT are the codes that come right back after erasing codes. E11 is the instrument panel and X1 is the OBD2 Port. But I checked OBD2 port and there's no PIN 2 so maybe that TEXA Wiring diagram is not 100% correct. Maybe pin 11 of ABS Module goes straight to Instrument panel?
Big question is: ABS isn't communicating because there's a problem or my TEXA and Launch can't read codes of ABS Module? I bought TEXA because it was supposed to access cars like that...
Thanks. The Scud diagram was confusing me: Image Unavailable, Please Login I have the CAN C Bus H & L lines going to pins 6 & 14 of the OBD2 port (and I saw these pins used in the Texa wiring diagram). The K line goes to pin 12 of the OBD2 port on the Scud. There is no Bus A (as mentioned on the Launch readout). Also, I mean to say pin 6 on E11, not 16 in my previous message, but disregard that anyway. For what it is worth, on the Scud, pin 11 goes to pin 12 of the OBD port.
As there is nothing on pin 2 on your car, perhaps the Scud diagram is correct for your car: Pin 12 of the Scud OBD port, is attached to: Pin 6 (plug B) of the Instrument Panel Pin 11 of the Brake ECU Pin 18 (plug B) of the Window ECU
Just confirmed you're right. Pin 11 of Brake ECU goes to Pin 12 of OBD2 Port. Weird thing is that if I let battery unpluged for a while and connect it again, it starts with ABS/CTS lights on but once I drive it forward and backwards inside my shop lights turn off... And you can drive for a while without any warning lights on the dash but randomly it come back on. I scoped every signal from ABS module with error present and not present and they are the same... Bad ABS Module?
Even when lights are off and there's no warning on the instrument panel I can't connect to ABS Module via TEXA...
It kind of makes sense. The ABS ECU is responsible for putting on the light (for at least some issues). ABS dead, so no light... but can the Instrument Panel also put on the light when there is no comms from the ABS? If so, perhaps there is a time delay or some other logic for this? It seems that numerous computers are reporting the failure.... Instrument panel, Suspension ECU, RH Motronics, etc, so it's either the bus wiring or the ECU.
I know I am coming here late but you had a lot of codes that are absent and we're most likely caused by low voltage (most likely on cranking) .. have you checked your voltage when cranking to see if that explains the issue ..if not you may have a ground issue for all thoae errors to show up Also know once one control unit goes bad on a bus usually it causes others to report errors Ignore the first skyhook error since it most likely was set by health check To see if codes exist ..go into the individual module ..clear code ..drive and then see if it came back by again only going to that specific module Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk
Yes I checked voltage drop on startup and it’s fine. I did what you said, when I have no lights on instrument cluster I’m able to erase all codes so if I access each module separately it will show No Fault codes found, except transmission module that shows P1781 and won’t erase -nothing related to ABS though. Weird thing is that even when there’s no active fault codes, I can’t access ABS with TEXA. It was so expensive to buy that scan tool and not being able to access all modules is very frustrating… I’ll be getting in touch with TEXA support tomorrow to check if their equipment is really capable of reading codes on ABS module of F430. Another weird fact is that I can’t access other modules like AIRBAG, ALARM, IMMO, E-DIFF and TPMS. And TEXA provides Wiring diagrams for all these modules. I’m an experienced mechanic, but to be honest this is the my first deep diagnosis on a Ferrari - this car is the main reason I bought the TEXA tool… Are Ferraris a PITA to even read codes without the OEM SCAN tool?
Ok - i think the ABS/CST light may be coming on due to the p1781 .. low pressure in f1 circuit / Ediff circuit If you want we can diag together with some basic timings etc and see it we can fix the issue In terms of not getting to the ABS system - i can't remember if the launch can read it .. I only remember than it has problems resetting airbag I sent you a PM to discuss this issue .. I may be off but I think 15 mins on the phone with the car we may figure it out
Thank you all for the help! I believe I have a theory for what's happening with this car. Let's se if you guys agree. Image Unavailable, Please Login Line 12 is dead? This car doens't have CET and NTP, so every single module (ANF alarm, NAB airbag, NFR Abs, EDIFF) of line 12 isn't communicating. When I scope line 12 it gets constant 0,9V and if I try to communicate with ABS module for example, while it's trying communication voltage raises to about 2,3V for a while and a few moments later scan tool says it's unable to communicate with the module, then voltage drops to 0,9V again... I'll be doing more tests on LINE 12 and keep you guys updated about it. I've worked a lot with BMWs with K-LINE communication disturbed, it's pretty common to have issues with bulbs and xenon lights and because it's a serial network with other modules you can't communicate with Airbag, Instrument panel and so on... So you just unplug one module at a time and try to communicate until you find what's putting down the network. Do you guys think we are on the right path? Cheers
There’s a limited number of devices on pin 12 (at least on the Scud). Do you think other devices on other lines would be affected?
Yes As mentioned above ..when item on bus fails the bus doesn't work like the bmw I believe it is the ediff module/subsystem (solenoid /sensor) that may be causing the issue or something in F1 system tricking down ..speak to later Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk
The wiring is broken up into dozens of different OEM diagrams and some details are missing. However, I've provided links to my custom diagrams where available. On the Scud.... I couldn't find an Alarm diagram which shows the OBD2 pin (but comes from pin 2 plug A on the ECU). Airbag is on pin OBD2 pin 12 (and comes from pin 3 of plug A on the ECU). https://www.dropbox.com/t/swtGnhCPE8z8beuo Instrument Panel is on OBD2 pin 12 (and comes from pin 6 of plug B on the panel). See Airbag diagram. The Braking diagram for the Scud is different from the standard F430 (different ECU pinout). Standard 430 diagram here thanks to @mike32 : https://www.dropbox.com/t/LO9X1zPIv4Ts48pB I have a very blurry picture I found online of the Parking Sensors and that is on pin 12 (I can't clearly read the pin number on the Parking Sensor ECU, but it may be pin 12 on plug B). https://www.dropbox.com/t/giqjWGGo5pRpQyeJ The Window ECU is on OBD2 pin 12 (and comes from pins 18 on plug B on the ECU... but different cars have different pin numbering... it may be on pin 13 (whichever has the white/red wire). https://www.dropbox.com/t/sgfIqsw9Ri6DK96F Immobiliser is on OBD2 pin 3 (coming from pin 5 of plug B on the ECU). F1 is not on OBD2 pin 12. The other systems also seem to be on other OBD2 pins.
Ian I am working offline with OP ..there is an issue with the F1 system and will fix that first .. i think the ABS/CST light is all related to that SO lets hold off until we fix it .. may take a few days for parts
Seems I missed this diagram... It shows most of the pin 12 connections: Image Unavailable, Please Login As mentioned before, the ABS system has a different ECU on the Scud. Also, the Parking Sensors ECU is not shown. EM27 is the E-diff. in case you're not familiar with the symbol.
We are making progress guys... Thanks a lot for all the help. I'll keep this thread updated as we evolve on the diagnosis and repair!! Cheers from Brazil!
My theory here is OP is losing pressure fast ..maybe a bad accumulator based on first test .. then when the pressure gets low enough it sets off the cst light because the ediff is getting the pressure it needs Let's fix the p1781 first and then see what's next Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk
Did you mean to say the ediff is not getting the pressure it needs? Would the scanner show this (if it was working)?
Just as an update about the no communication issue, line 12 of OBD2 goes to the following modules (at least the ones I know so far). The ones with "OK" were disconnected one by one in order to check if communication comes back for others with no success. ABS -OK- Alarm System -OK- Power Windows -OK- E-Diff -OK- Instrument Panel -not tested yet- Airbag -not tested yet- Parking assist - not tested yet- Dominick is helping me a lot troubeshooting the F1 system, so right know I'm ordering the pressure accumulator and we'll se the effect. F1 system was low on fluid and system isn't holding pressure like it should. I'll keep you guys updated and again I have no words to thank you guys for the help...
