Have a check tire pressure indicator on but there is no real issue with the pressure. Any ideas on how to rectify it other than taking it to the dealer? The car is still under power warranty so might still be covered. Thanks!
Any tire shop can replace the sensor and you can then push the button and calibrate it yourself. Probably best to replace all four sensors and you need Huf-Beru RDE-001s. TireRack is one source and here is another, swiped from the 599 forum. Most late Ferraris use the same sensor at 433 MHz. They are about twice this at the dealerships. TPMS fits Ferrari 599 2007-12 - OEM Tire Pressure Sensors SET
There's no button in the Scuderia, it will auto recalibrate itself. If it doesn't that usually means the TPMS' are incompatible.
The website appears to link to these as correct for the later 430s TPMS for Ferrari F430 2009 - Tire Pressure Sensors SET But someone would still need to confirm these work with the Scud as well...
So mine is replicar then Lol...if you look at the title, that is Scuderia Manual. I did the calibration about a month ago. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have a 2008 US Scud and there are no buttons on the bottom of the dash. Interestingly, in the manual under table of contents it does list a calibration button on p.67, but pg.67 is empty page. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
boom hence the difference. US spec Scuderias definitely don't have the button and tpms is auto-calibrated.
I replaced my TPMS units on my 2009 Scuderia Spider 16M when I installed new wheels. I was not about to use the original units that were coming up on six years old. I purchased the new units from TPMS.com. They are Huf S0103 units. They are about $72 each there. If you buy OEM Ferrari units from Ricambi, be prepared to shell out over $250 each. The Huf units that I got are EXACTLY the same part, except that they do not have the little black horsey stenciled on to them. They work perfectly. For the later cars, there is no calibration button under the dash. The units calibrated themselves instantly the first time I powered up the car after the new wheels were installed. Easy Peasy.
I should have looked that up before posting. Many of the OMs have incorrect data in them because they used an earlier OM as a template and then missed removing the old data.
By the way, I would only replace the TPMS unit that is malfunctioning. There is absolutely no reason to disturb the other three tires on their rims if they are working properly. The old adage says "If is isn't broken, don't fix it.".
Well more often than not if one goes out, the others will shortly follow. The batteries in those things only last for so long. I'd do a clean sweep and keep the ones that are still working as emergency spares.
WJ- Why continue to fiddle with something when you can fix it once and not have to worry for 5-8 years? Afraid I disagree completely with your incremental method of maintenance.
