    Hi - some help please. Driving my 612 today, daily-ish driver, and a warning sign popped up out of nowhere. Turned it on and off - no joy. Any other suggestions?

    Greatly appreciate any input.

    I would try replacing the battery first.

    Why is the tire pressure monitor light on? Might it somehow be contributing to the warning?

    It is common if:
    * The battery is low
    * You start it before the check is complete
    * It is feeling cantankerous today

    It comes up periodically and goes away when I start the car the next time. I believe it is a transient voltage issue and maybe battery related. If it goes away next start: don't worry about it.

    612s are very sensitive to voltage issues. I keep mine on a charger all the time when it's in the garage, and replace the battery regularly (3-5 years). This seems to minimize these issues.

    Issue solved!! Went to Autofficina , my usual service provider, really great service. They tried to connect diagnostic, wouldn’t connect so Mike knew where to go , small fuse under steering wheel- 10 amp. All sorted!

    Glad it was resolved.

    I have so much experience with the 2000's Maseratis (same build/factory as ferraris) and 90% of all electrical issues are low battery related, especially a battery on ite way out
