A few 360 Techincal problems...

Nobody has mentioned de factory recall regarding the ABS/ASR modules.
AIR BAG: Electronic Control Unit
BRAKES: Anti lock braking system ASR traction control system electronic control unit is affected by an error in production by the supplier.
Check with an authorized dealer before digging for your wallet.

In the future, if you do need to "jump" the 360, here is how to go about it. First, disconnect the power between the battery and the car using the master kill switch in the front compartment. Once this has been done, then connect a charger to the battery (which is now isolated) and recharge it (or replace the battery with a new one). Remove the charger from the battery. Then turn the master switch back on.

Where people get into problems is just attaching a charger to the battery with the car "live".

Always wear protective goggles when working with any battery (due to the risk of explosion). Batteries can give off hydrogen gas in some cases.

Also, when charging any battery, always remember the motto "Never leave the ground alone". This will help you connect and disconnect the charging wires in the correct order. Hot first, then ground second. Remove the ground first, then the hot last.

On the 360 (and probably other Ferraris), you are dealing with very sensitive and expensive electronics. Suddenly adding 10 or 50 unregulated amps into any circuit from a battery charger is never a smart thing to do when dealing with IC's or ECU's, etc. Especially very costly ones made in Italy.

Turn off the master power switch when dealing with the battery on the 360. That will save you a lot of headaches.

Ray: I believe there are a couple steps in there about charging up the ECUs carefully and then, letting the ECUs mange the system before even driving off.

IIRC, turn key to "ON" position, let sit for >30 seconds, then turn on car, let run @ idle for a few min....many in fact, THEN decide to drive off when the ECUs have recalibrated....BUT, as Rifledriver states, people who know better should dispense advice and I am going into that description based on recalling severall threads....many cobwebs in this brain.

but, I do believe there are steps to take after an ECU has been powered down.

Thanks to all for the info. Always something new to learn about these cars.

Correct but I too would have to look this up
