Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Passenger side air bag fault

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

I’ll have to look into my late-father’s stuff and see if he had any saved. With a career spent working with chemicals, he had saved a lot of neat stuff (I remember as a kid getting my hands on a vial of Gallium he had. It was quite cool to see metal melting in the palm of my hand... Probably didn’t do me any good though. Oh well).

 

Although there must be some lead solder still available.

 

We use lead pipe dope exclusively on all of our petroleum threaded pipe connections at work and it can be easily obtained at our suppliers. Simply put, it works the best (much like many other “dangerous” substances).

YES!  I have a ( my lifetime) stash of leaded solder.  

Any time I change components I flood, wick and re-solder with leaded solder.   But, I do use a fume extractor on my workbench!

Erik’s tin whiskers and boundary embrittlement are just 2 of the issues exacerbated by removing Pb from solder.   Thank you Nanny state!! I’m 

RoHS electronics are only durable when switched off and sitting on a shelf in a cool environment.

So just a quick stab at it... Should we go back to using lead in all electronics?

I'm a masochist for lengthy Google shit, so I just might do that

It shouldn't but it does. Why not design the circuits to work on 9V, so if it dips, there isn't a problem.

My QP will trigger an occasional TPMS malfunction, which has been traced to a transient low voltage issue. Hook up a Foxwell 520, clear it, good to go for another few weeks.

Fault lights can be weird.  I was driving from Sydney to Melbourne in the 599 (about a 900km trip).  Got 150km into the trip and warning lights came on about catalysts overheating and it went into limp mode. Stopped, waited, restarted, still the same. Nearest Ferrari dealer back in Sydney, so rang them. Eventually, they suggested disconnecting the battery, wait a while then reconnect; easy to do because of battery isolator switch.  Did so and all good again.  Drove to Melbourne – dealer there put code reader on – said nothing really wrong so they cleared the codes.  Been fine for over a year since!  My Mercedes ML had lots of codes on the code reader – Mercedes dealer said they didn’t have a clue what it all meant – cleared the codes – end of story.  Random electronics???

Obviously dogs and oranges, but my similar vintage Aston has had an airbag light on for ages. Had the code read at the dealer (they never could reproduce until I showed up to load it on my trailer to take it home) and it was a seatbelt pretensioner sensor fault.

 

Just a data point for you that it could have nothing to do with airbags – a lot of safety-related stuff is balled up into that light, sort of like the CEL.
