1) If the code is recognized, the CODE
warning light on the instrument panel
goes off within a second, while the
OBD warning light goes off after
about four seconds once the ECU
diagnostic cycle has been completed.
In these conditions, the protection
system recognizes the key code and
deactivates the engine immobilizer.
CODE OBD
2) If the CODE warning light stays on
and the OBD warning light does not
go off after the four seconds required
by the ECU to run a diagnostic cycle,
the code has not been recognized.
In this case, it is advisable to turn
the key back to position 0 then back
to II. If the immobilizer stays on, try
with the other keys. If you are still
unable to start the engine, perform
an emergency start (see the chapter
“Emergency starting”) and contact your
Authorized Ferrari Dealer .
• When driving with the ignition key in
position II :
1) If the CODE warning light illuminates,
it means that the system is running
a self-diagnostic cycle. At the fi rst
opportunity, you can stop and test
the system: turn off the engine by
turning the ignition key to position 0 ,
then turn it back to position II : the
CODE warning light will come on and
should go off within one second. If
the warning light stays on, repeat the
procedure described previously leaving
the key at 0 for more that 30 seconds.
If the problem persists, contact your
Authorized Ferrari Dealer .
2) If the CODE warning light fl ashes, it
means that the vehicle is not protected
by the immobilizer device.
Immediately contact your
Authorized
Ferrari Dealer
to have all the keys stored
in the memory.
Strong impacts can damage the electronic
components in the key.
Each key has its own specifi c code, which must
be stored in the memory of the system control
unit.
Duplicating the keys
When ordering additional keys, remember
that the storage procedure must be
performed for all the keys (7 keys
maximum), including those already in your
possession. Contact your
Authorized
Ferrari Dealer , bringing with you all
the keys in your possession, the CODE
CARD for the Ferrari CODE system, a
personal ID document and the registration
documents proving ownership of the car.
The codes of any keys that are not available
when the new storage procedure is
performed will be deleted from the memory
to prevent any lost or stolen keys being
used to start the vehicle.
Emergency starting
If the Ferrari CODE fails to disable the
engine immobilizer, the CODE warning
light illuminates steady and the OBD
warning light goes off after four seconds
and then illuminates again immediately,
and the engine will not start. In this
condition, the engine can only be started
with the emergency starting procedure.
It is recommended to carefully read
through the whole procedure before
carrying it out.
