458 AVH, ESC, ABS, Manettino Errors

Hi everyone, I'm getting the dreaded rolling AVH, ESC, ABS, Manettino error messages. I've seen a few threads discussing this but not really sure I've seen a resolution.

Here are the facts: I somehow forgot to put my car on the trickle charger for a while and the battery completely drained. I had to jump charge it from a different vehicle to move it and drove it a bit without fully charging it. It's has been fully charged and on the trickle ever since.

Ever since this all happened, I have been getting the AVH, ESC, ABS, Manettino error messages. The car drives fine and all of a sudden the errors appear. They go away once the car is shut off, sits for a while and is restarted but they constantly come back. It's driving me nuts.

I have done the factory reset procedure and the errors continue to come back. My battery is probably 1.5 years old.

Any ideas/suggestions on what I need to check/do now? Thanks.

 

I had this on my 458. Does it revert to wet mode when this happens?

At first the dealer thought it was maybe bad wiring, and did a few fixes, but that didn't fix it. The failures really only happened when the car went over a bump or gravel, and we ended up figuring out that it was a faulty traction sensor. Not sure if that's what you have, but I would get an error code reader and see if you can connect it when the errors happen to narrow down the issue (this is what helped me, just kept the reader in the car waiting for the issue to happen and then plugged it in).

Good luck, and hopefully it's an easy fix (might also want to put which model you have in the title).

 

Thanks for the feedback. Mine has reverted to wet mode a few times it has happened. Thanks. I will get a code reader and see if I can nail it down. My apologies -I was so frustrated when I posted. My car is a 2011 458 Italia. No sure I can change the title at this point.

 

Solution :

By new battery and get Ferrari dealer to get rid of the codes. Full Stop.

Prevent happening again:

Always keep on battery conditioner.

Age of battery has nothing to do with it, its the condition of the battery that is important.

To jump start most likely a cell or 2 are stuffed.

 

Hi hgoodwiniii
Had exactly the same problem one week ago.... it's not the battery like many Ferrari workshops think.
It's an easy fix... change the brake light switch on the brake pedal and all the problems will be gone like magic
You have to remove two screws, then turn the switch about 90 dergrees pull it out and insert the new one. It's a
15 minute job and it'l cost you about 50$

Thanks for the feedback; I will pull the battery and have it tested to eliminate that it as the problem for peace of mind and I will certainly look into the brake switch. Thanks.

 

This. Do not start replacing parts immediately. That error will come back if its not cleared. Get a lithium battery, clear the codes, check again. Only once you've ruled out battery start replacing other stuff. To be completely transparent. Mine was still acting up with a brand new battery. The voltage sensitivity was still too much and triggering false positives.

 

My car is fine however reading this post makes me wonder how you came to find the brake switch as a solution to your issues??

 

Because all this systems need the information from the brake switch, to put it simply and not to describe it in a too complex way.
I hade exactly the same issues and the fault code on the diagnosis was, among all other unimportant faults, the brake light switch.
Then to be on the safe side, I searched here and found another thread with exactly this issue.

 

Can you post a link to the other thread you found?

this and it has two or three others. Simply google "Ferrari 458 break switch" and you'll get
them, and many many offers from several parts trader to buy the switch

 

I have had this problem and it seems it is the ABS module electronics that are faulty. I went through all the usual suspects, ABS sensors, brake switch, new battery etc. Even had all the wiring checked and everything was as it should be. I’ll get it back in a few days and fingers crossed this is the issue because after that I’m stumped.

 

Ok, thanks. I am going to look more into mine today.

 

Here are some DTC codes from my car:

P1569 Cruise Control/Brake Switch B Circuit (Bank 2) - Malfunction (Plaus)
P0571 Brake Signal Invalid Signal
P0572 Brake Signal Too Low
C1161 Brake Light Switch Invalid Signal

I'm thinking my rolling AVH, ESC, ABS, Manettino error messages may be due to the brake switch. I will change it and report back.

 

I changed the brake switch in my car and have put about 100 miles on my car and so far the rolling AVH, ESC, ABS, Manettino error messages have not reappeared. So far, so good!

 

Guys, thank you!!!

Just got my 458, and got this exact issue showing up. I was panicking, but the symptoms you guys listed were exactly what I was seeing. If this is the issue, you just saved me a ulcer!

 

Just to follow up, my issue turned out to be the speed sensor in the right rear wheel. Turned out to be a simple fix, just like the brake sensor.

 

For my 488 it was the handbrake out of sync, easy fix done by dealer.

 

I replaced that switch and it's been about a week without the recurring error. Thanks for posting this up. Just fyi the circled switch in the picture is incorrect; the actual switch you need to replace is right behind the black vent and it's immediately visible after you remove the two screws and pull the vent off. Turn it 90° clockwise to remove, then insert and turn it 90° counterclockwise to reinstall.
