    Hello F Chat, after weeks of searching the forums and internet, I decided I need to ask my specific question.

    I sent my car away for service and to install Fabios header back exhaust system with cats.

    I received it back 11 months later and it now has new error codes it never had before, P1040 and P1038. It had a major service done and I have the header back exhaust in. It idles mostly smooth with some burbles that shake the car a little every couple seconds. The engine seems smooth at speed.

    I did the ECU reset procedure and the learn process as posted by Taz elsewhere on here, the CEL hasn't come back after 20 minutes of driving but P1040 is present again on the scanner. Also the air bag light now came on which seems to be related to disconnecting the battery switch and doing the learn process based on my research.
    I looked at the o2 sensor contacts and they seemed OK, the only thing I noticed was darker tips on some of the contacts but it didn't seem like corrosion.

    Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated as I was hoping 11 months and 15k would yield me a turn key car. The shop has offered to take it back and look into it, but I would like to avoid the car going away for an unknown amount of time again if there is something that is simple.

    I run the same setup in my 575. You likely need o2 spacers or a ECU tune from Trev.

    PS the suspension errors are likely from a bad battery or being unhooked for a while. A fresh/fully charged battery and a few drive cycles should fix that entirely. The 575 Sachs suspension while not bulletproof is far more robust than the Bilstein on the 550/456 (not just repeating rumors, its well known and I have (unfortunately) direct experience as I also have a 456m).

    PS you can test yourself if the flow issue is the cause of your CEL after your other errors clear/settle down and fresh gas (this is exactly what I did).

    Light (<50% throttle, <4500 RPM) driving with all lights cleared should be uneventful. Your idle should settle quickly with fresh gas/drives cycles (exactly what happened with mine)

    Then hard throttle and high RPMs on a warm engine (remember you have secondary air) with valves open would trigger a CEL until I got Trev's remap. Trev's remap fixed that (again after a few drive cycles), and further will boost your HP by a 100 or so while giving you 599 level smoothness of the F1 system. The cheaper/faster solution is to get O2 spacers as to slow down the flow.

    Feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to chat.

    Lambda refers to the air/fuel ratio the ECU is seeing. On my Toyota, I run a wide band O2 gauge and run it in Lambda mode, as opposed to air/fuel ratio for gasoline.

    I second getting a tune. If the idle is unstable, most likely you're running a bit lean.

    There have been a few niggling CELs with Fabio's headers. A Trev reflash, which Fabio himself will likely recommend, should clear them up as well as unleash a few lost horses. If interested, he can speed up and smooth your F1 shifting, too.

    I'm working to link up with Trev as I contacted Fabio and he sent me his way like you mentioned (very different time zones). I guess I will be researching how to remove the computers next.

    I do find it odd that it is only the left bank. I'm not surprised such a high flow exhaust would need a tune, just wanted to rule out any scary issues like intake gaskets.

    Is the car ok to drive in this state or will I smoke the cats from un-burned fuel?

    I appreciate all these helpful responses on here!

    I ran that way for about 100 miles. Doesn’t seem to have hurt anything but YMMY

    I did my own intake gaskets (while changing all of the coolant lines under the manifold). It's not that scary, just tedious and guaranteed to make your back ache! I'd be glad to help you with yours if you ever need to do them.

    The tune has the CEL gone....now for the airbag light that came on when I did the ECU reset procedure to try to clear the CEL (before the tune).

    That procedure should not have set an airbag light. That usually only happens when someone jump-starts a late model Ferrari. You will need a high end diagnostic tool like an SD2 to reset the airbag lamp.

    Agreed. Hopefully in jumping you didnt fry an airbag ECU. I know thats a common issue with jumped 550s and 456s; I also heard it happening with a 575 but that is hearsay I dont know the details

    Strange, I only used the battery disconnect in the engine bay. I did use an Autel scan tool and Sam said doing an "auto scan" can cause errors. I should only individually scan each module. SD2 is difficult to come by where I am, I read somewhere (on here?) it may be a way for dealers to notice the ECU has been reset?
