I guess this has been posted earlier but I try again.. I was out driving normally today ( no high rev ) suddenly the slow down light started lightning. I stopped the car and waited 2 hours so the engine should cool down, when I started the Slown down started at once. the car runs normally Is this just the sensor that is broken? and what can I try do to? I live in Norway and have to bring it to Sweden for a Ferrari garage. Is it possible to make a "shortcut" on the wire harness or something? any thing?
Use the Search function on the website. There are only about a zillion posts on this topic. You probably need a new ecu for the slowdown light.
Thank you for the help As I`ve understand the ECU is mounted behind the rear shockabsorber, is this ECU connected with a wire or a tube to the thermocouples? does anybody have a picture of te ECU so that I can see how it looks? Thanks
Hello again It was really that easy! I just did this easy operation on both ECU, but before I sealed them I took a hairdryer an blow the moisture out. Mounted everything, started the car and NO SLOW DOWN LIGHT.. Thank you everybody Image Unavailable, Please Login
What did you seal it with? My guess is that the problem will reoccur. That is an old ECU with the bad 'black' epoxy seal. New ones have a green seal which will last much much longer -- in fact, I have yet to hear of a green sealed ECU that cracked. http://www.ricambiamerica.com/product_info.php?products_id=208023
I used a black silicone that handles temprature -> 800`C. This silicone doesn`t get hard an crack. Washed the engine today and there is still no SDL flashing/lightning. I also think that it`s really important to use a silicone that handles heat without getting hard
