Ferrari 812 Competizione A airbag control unit repair⁽¹⁾

What should be considered with Ferrari 812 Competizione A airbag control units?

The airbag control unit evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and monitors the entire system. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself. Airbag24 repairs your own control unit.

In a crash, the control unit decides within fractions of a second which restraint systems are triggered. A defective control unit shows itself through the airbag warning light in the instrument panel. If the airbag warning light is on, the system should be checked promptly.

Work on the airbag system belongs in the hands of a specialist workshop, because the system is safety-relevant. Whether a unit can be repaired is only shown by testing in our workshop in Berlin. Repair also includes deleting the crash data.

Which Ferrari 812 Competizione A generations are there?

For the Ferrari 812 Competizione A, the F152M production series is known, built from 2021 to 2024. The production series helps to assign the correct control unit variant.

Whether your vehicle belongs to this series is shown by its build year and chassis number (VIN).

• F152M (2021–2024): version with a removable roof panel

How do I identify my Ferrari 812 Competizione A airbag control unit?

The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. Together with the build year and equipment of your vehicle, it allows the unit to be assigned correctly.

Note down the build year and chassis number (VIN) of your vehicle. Do not remove the control unit yourself; a specialist workshop checks these details before removal. For this model, the following fault codes are known as examples:

• Fault code 01: control unit faulty (internal fault)
• Fault code 06: battery voltage too low

A fault code alone does not prove that the control unit is defective. Only testing in the workshop shows the cause.

What airbag equipment does the Ferrari 812 Competizione A have?

Which airbags are fitted in the Ferrari 812 Competizione A depends on the specification. Binding details are found in the vehicle documents or from the manufacturer.

Airbag control units in modern vehicles typically trigger the front airbags and, depending on equipment, side and head airbags as well as belt tensioners. Which systems are fitted to your vehicle can be checked in the vehicle papers.

The route to repair follows these steps. Have the fault memory read. A specialist workshop then disconnects the battery and removes the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send the unit to Airbag24.

Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: checking, repairing and testing. The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted; no additional configuration is needed.
