F1 shifter gearbox failure code - what to do ?

Do not pay any attention to anyone who wants you to turn the battery off. All that can possibly achieve is to make it more difficult to diagnose.

Some people have the proper equipment to work on the and a very few people are capable of diagnosing and fixing the. Find someone who fits both descriptions and take it to them asap.

I'd be happy to suggest who that might be you have chosen to be secretive about where you live.

 

There have been threads about this sort of issue before and whilst not wishing to pre-empt the above recommendation it could be as simple as a loose reverse lever which is why as the wear gets worse or the pins break there is a simple upgraded Hills lever - my point is only to try to reassure that it may not be a significant issue

 

Use Google and put ferrarichat at end ..it will be better than the search on site

Like Brian said, take it to someone who knows what they are doing and has an SD2 or equivalent to diagnose the problem. Also have them do an F1 service where they change out the F1 fluid, bleed the system, do a self-test, check for leaks, and optimize PIS. Note below that Ferrari finally figured out the F1 system needs regular maintenance and fluid changes.

I do not believe this is a DIY and I try to do DIY any time it is feasible. It requires an SD2 to really do the job. I had a leak in one of the hoses and had the job done by Ferrari guy about an hour away.

Brian Crall should be able to provide a name for you.

 

I use Tutela CS Speed, which is now produced by Petronas. It is expensive at ~$50/liter here in the States, but has been worth it. One thing you can do is change out half of it at a time without introducing air into the system, but that will not eliminate air that is already in there. Eventually it will get rid of some contamination. My techs swap out half every year and every three years they do the full fluid change and bleed. Note this involves removing the actuator to get at the bleed screws, so somebody really needs to know what they are doing and have the SD2 equivalent tool. My techs use Auto Enginuity, which ran about $3500 when I bought it for them.

Ricambi carried Tutela CS Speed for a while. You might check with them. Every time I see some, I buy a couple.

Ferrari Atlanta. Best in that corner of the country.

 

SD2 stands for System Diagnosis 2 (translated from the Italian), the factory analysis tool for Ferraris through about the 575 and 360. Earlier Ferraris used an SD1 and later ones an SD3 before it all went online.

Check with Daniel at Ricambi and see if he still carries the Tutela CS Speed. I find it in weird places, although it is easy to find in Europe. Do not have a current source since I have a stash of several year's worth.
