612 trunk/boot release button

From another thread:

 

Yes, what Rex said may do it. I had the same thing happen years ago. I don't remember what fixed it, but it sort of self corrected with normal operation.

 

You must reinitialize the door lock system any time the battery is disconnected.

Lock and unlock the car with the remote. After one lock and unlock cycle the trunk release and fuel door release should function normally. If you would read the owners manual, you would know this.

 

Brian, in fairness you have to realize you're a Professional Ferrari Technician. That's all you deal with so of course you have extensive knowledge of the vehicle.

I can't speak for the others, but I have multiple automobile makes from Ferrari, to Porsche to Jaguar to Lexus to Infiniti to on and on. I actually do read all my manuals cover to cover when I first acquire the vehicle, and frequently refer back to the manuals. However, I can't retain everything in all those manuals. Some manuals are almost 500 pages, and that doesn't even include the separate infotainment and navigation manuals. Some are better organized than others, but try to find specific information in some them and good luck with that.

 

Yes, I realize that there is a large amount of information in the owners manual. But when you have a problem, the first thing to do is read the manual.
In the Ferrari manual is says specifically what to do when the battery has been disconnected and reconnected.

I work on a lot of of different makes/models of cars, and I always read the owners manual when I am having an issue with a system on a car. That said, some manuals are better than others. Some have almost no information at all, which is why it is a good thing that these forums exist.

 

Hi Motob,

I am having a weird issue with my 612 that I was hoping to get some insight on with regards to the trunk release button. When pressed, it opens the trunk and the gas cap at the same time instantly. If I close the gas cap it still shows open on the cluster. I also have a full brake fluid level that says its low so I assumed to replace the reservoir which I did but still shows brake fluid level low. My light switch buttons seem to be one position away from the correct reading and it shows the brake pads are worn on the cluster only when headlights turn on but the break pads are brand new. Does this sound like a BCM issue? or some sort of a specific circuit issue? Much appreciated!
