To help reduce issues with your Ferrari, you must follow the System start-up. Before starting the engine, make sure that the antitheft system and the electrical devices that absorb a great deal of power are deactivated. • Make sure that the electric parking brake is applied and that the doors are closed. • Hold the brake pedal down when starting the engine. Warning Do not press the accelerator pedal. • Turn the ignition key to position II and wait for the “Check OK” icon to appear on the TFT display. • If the “Check OK” symbol does not appear, turn the key back to position 0, wait a few seconds and repeat the procedure. • Press the ENGINE START button and release it as soon as the engine starts. • After the engine has started, the “Check OK” will appear.

thats horse crap - there is no "system start-up" - i've owned my Cali for the past 4y (30,000 miles) - just turn the key! This isn't like the old 360 or 355s...

Quick tip, disconnect the battery negative terminal for about 10 mins, then reconnect and run diagnostics again. You will see some of those messages are removed. Problems will remain but the electrics have chance to reset.

Will give that a try. Thanks for the tip!

And make sure you plug in the Battery tender/charger whenever your Cali is parked. It will eliminate most if not all of the electrical issues you have. Having owned so many different brands of sport/exotic cars and super cars over the last 40+ years, I found that the Ferraris draws a lot of voltage from the battery whenever the car is parked for more than a day, and all kinds of weird electric issues or service lights will pop up, and so it is critically important that the battery is kept fully charged at all times by plugging in the battery tender/trickle charger at all times its parked, so you can keep the electrical gremlins away!👍👍😎🏎️

@@gregwang168 is that true? Even if you drive it a few times a week? I’ve never used my tender…. Does it really matter if driven a few times a week? Wont alternator recharge both batteries?

@@steve0504That’s what I thought when I first bought my Cali 3 years ago. And because I did not drive it daily, and only drove it a few times a week it eventually drained the battery. And so I connected the battery tender/charger directly to the battery upfront and charged the battery overnight, and the next morning it started right up with no issues. I have since learned my lesson and I religiously connect the battery tender to the car whenever it’s parked back in my garage, even if only parked for 1 day, to avoid any and all electrical gremlins from a discharged battery.

You can have your factory shocks rebuilt but some down time waiting on the shocks to be returned Your soft close feature on the Trunk is not activating soon enough, needs to be adjusted. Should not have to slam the lid shut to activate the soft close feature.

RMT = rebuild master tech out of Florida. They did an awesome job on my rear shocks (Magne-ride)

when you buy a CPO or well taken care of car with records, you get just that! ZERO problems. My car has 49,000 miles now and is as good or better than when I bought it with 19k miles. I had to rebuild the transmission, rebuild rear shocks, and replace the window motor, and replace 2 oxygen sensors. Also had to repair both headers. Joys of ownership, but if you take care of the problems as soon as they arise Like I always say, if you take care of her, she'll take care of you ;)

If you didn't fix it yet - you can get all 4 shocks rebuilt by RMT (in Florida = Rebuilders master tech) - I got my 2 rears rebuilt for $1000. The shock error codes went away.
