    Hi I have a 2000 360 f1 and its multifunction warning light comes on at times while driving. This is the amber light that indicates a spension system failure. It goes off after the key is turned off. It was doing it now and then and now it does it each time I run it. I have 18,000 miles and original owner.

    Any ideas what is causing the problem or what the fix is? I normally deal with the Ferrari dealer in Oralando Fl. about 135 miles away not easy to get to them. Any checks I cam make will be appreciated. What trigers this is their sensors on the body ?

    Thanks Peter Barone

    Are you talking about the "icon" that shows the car with arrows pointing to the wheels?
    I get this all the time, too. Was told that it was due to my after-market wheels. Was also told of a similar 360 with wheels like mine that also has this warning indicator.


    I know this probably doesn't answer your question, but I had wondered if this was instead (or in addition to) a low tire psi warning?
    If so, I was thinking that I get this message because the new wheels likely don't have the low tire sensor. So, if this is the case, then perhaps your tires are low.... or you have faulty sensors?


    I guess I've gotten ahead of myself; do 360 have low tire pressure sensors?

    I have the same thing on my 2000 360 after changing to custom aftermarket wheels. I checked all the sensors and have had no luck getting it cleared so far.

    It's either a bad shock or a lateral acceleration sensor as stated above. A good scan tool will pin point which one.

    This is SO often due to the rear vertical acceleration sensor. It is not in a great location for longevity. If more advanced diagnostic techniques are not easily available (Launch device is not helpful), this is the culprit in so many cases that it may be worth replacing it to see if it helps. This did the trick in my case.
