Ferrari Mailing List: Re: My first check engine light on the 575

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

I've wondered the same thing myself. It seems to possible to get stuff for domestic cars, but the Italians seem to ignore it.

Is there anywhere on the darkweb that one can get a dondle, or other

hardware and/or software that’ll crack the proprietary codes?

A "dongle" has nothing to do with the proprietary codes.  It's simply
a security device to (attempt) one from using pirated software.

The codes are easily readable.  But their meaning is what is
proprietary.  For example, a cheap generic OBD scanner showed that my
Maserati was throwing a Body code - don't recall off the top of my
head, but it was something like "B0321".  So the code is readable.
But what does it mean?  *That's* the proprietary part.  Could not find
a reference anywhere that explained what the code meant or what to do
about it.

The Leonardo system isn't a total solution.  For example, it will not
even reset the Change Oil Light on my Maserati.  Supposedly only an
SD2/3 would do it. But someone on the Maserati forum discovered a
cheap Chinese tool called an "OBDStar X-200" that will reset the
Change Oil Light.  It will reset other dash warning lights as well,
but I haven't had to experiment with any of the other functions.  I
think someone reset an airbag warning light that came on after
temporarily disconnecting an airbag.

And, BTW, the Foxwell 510 has been superseded by the 520.  The 520
seems to be the only consumer level tool that will reset the Maserati
"TPMS system malfunction" warning message.  It will also read/reset a
handfull of other pesky proprietary codes - but certainly not all of
them. And when I say "read", I mean explain what they are.  BTW, if
you are interested in the Foxwell 520 - or the older 510 - be aware
that it ships with software for just one make of vehicle.  They charge
$60 for each additional manufacturer's software.  (Although the
Maserati software on my 520 has support for the Alfa 8C.  Go
figure.....) For a Chinese company, their customer support is decent,
quickly answering my questions about software compatibility.  Best
(cheapest) sources are the Foxwell stores on Ebay or Amazon.

Also in my arsenal is the Autel MaxiTPMS tool to activate the finicky
TPMS wheel sensors that seem to be proprietary to some Maseratis and
Ferraris.

So 3 electronic gadgets to keep my Quattroporte happy.  And I'm
thinking of adding the Autel MX808 just for good measure.

Hans.

I’ve got a Snap-On code reader (Ethos

Edge<https://store.snapon.com/ETHOS-174-Edge-Scan-Tool-ETHOS-EDGE-Scan-Tool-P928828.aspx>),

which comes loaded to scan all domestic and Euro cars... Sadly, not

Ferrari/Lambo/Maserati. Although it’ll read Fiat and Alfa Romeo (with the

recent update, to 2019). All the info is stored in a micro SD card. I

haven’t used it on my Fiat yet, but have fixed many coworkers vehicles. I

got it when it first came out and my Snap-On guy had them at a blowout

introductory price (almost at wholesale).

I think the only aftermarket system is the Leonardo scanner for these

exotics (still, at five figures $, if I remember correctly).

This is one of the reasons why I wouldn’t want to own a “modern” Ferrari...

If my scanner could read them, then I’d consider it.

Nope.

But when you said you needed to bring it in to clear it, I figured it threw

one of the propriety codes.  Ferrari mechanics need to eat, too.

Well it finally happened

Knew it would, got a master caution light( sorry guys to you it’s a check

engine light, still to much aviator in me) yesterday

Nothing I could figure out

Will take it in get it cleared and move on

Seat stopped working again

Then it did !

Bought this

http://www.diagnostic-world.com/pages/ferrari_code_readers__diagnostic_scan_reset_amp_tools_194245-z=582963&p=121451.cfm#content_item_121451

You know the Brits they say it works ( not so sure about BREXIT though) so I

want to see it for myself

When I get it I will report back on it, since it looks as if the 575 is a

moody beast when it comes to check engine lights

And if it is as advertised I will do what I’ve done with the shim kit

If a lister needs it they pay shipping both ways

I was thinking if Ferrari would have put just a little more into the

workmanship of the hoses and electrical system none of this stuff would

happen.

I mean look at Japanese cars and German cars, it’s seems as if the Italians

just under engineer the cars or just source parts from horrible suppliers

But in retrospect they know that they will sell everything they make so why

bother in making it durable, it’s a win for the dealership service

department

The new NSX has everything yet they can’t sell them, they are deeply

discounted with a finance plan to die for! My friend just bought one.

And you know that car will always work with no issues whatsoever

Well guys as I’ve always said it is what it is, will report back on the

check engine light issue. Not worried, I know it’s just a light and the car

runs fine.

Too my fellow warriors out the there, have a safe Memorial Day

Fly fast N’ Check 6

Push it up lead !

And if you see a former or active duty service member, thank them for what

they do.
