About Your Vehicle - Ferrari F430 Owner's Manual

1) If the code is recognized, the
warning light on the instrument panel
goes off within a second, while the
EOBD 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.
���� ����
2) If the CODE warning light stays on
and the EOBD warning light does not
go off after the four seconds required
by the ECU to run a diagnostic cycle,
the code has not been recognised. In
this case, it is advisable to turn the key
back into 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, do an emergency start
(see the chapter "Emergency starting")
and contact the Ferrari Service
Network.
• When driving with the ignition key in
CODE
position II:
1) If the CODE warning light comes on,
it means that the system is running a
self-diagnostic cycle. At the first stop
you can test the system: switch off
the engine by turning the ignition
key to position 0, then turn it back to
position II: the
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 the Ferrari
Service Network.
2) If the CODE warning light flashes, it
means that the vehicle is not protected
by the immobilizer device.
Immediately contact the Ferrari Service
Network to have all the keys stored in the
memory.
Strong impact can damage the electronic
components in the key.
Each key supplied has its own specific 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 (maximum 7
keys) must be carried out for all the keys,
including those already in your possession.
Directly contact the Ferrari Service
Network, 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 carried
out will be deleted from the memory to
CODE warning light
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
light comes on fixed and the
warning light goes off after four seconds
and then comes on 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.
