What should I pay attention to with Ferrari 849 Testarossa airbag control units?
In the Ferrari 849 Testarossa, the airbag control unit evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and seat belt pretensioners, and monitors the entire system. If it detects a fault, it reports it via the airbag warning light.
After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. If the airbag warning light is on, the vehicle should be checked promptly, as the airbag system is safety-relevant. Work on the airbag system belongs in qualified hands.
Airbag24 repairs your own control unit, which you send to us. The repair includes erasing the crash data, checking for faults and testing the unit before it is sent back. Only the inspection shows which damage is actually present.
Which Ferrari 849 Testarossa generations are there?
Our data lists the Ferrari 849 Testarossa under series F173M, which has been built since 2025. The series shows which build phase a vehicle belongs to.
Within a series, equipment and control unit can vary by model year and market. Always compare the vehicle data with the control unit. The series does not replace checking the part number on the unit itself.

How do I identify my Ferrari 849 Testarossa airbag control unit?
The part number on the label of the control unit determines its exact version. Also check the model year and equipment of your vehicle.
The part number is a more reliable reference than the model name alone. It indicates the variant of the control unit and helps match it to your vehicle. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is listed in the vehicle documents and helps clarify model year and equipment.
Examples of fault codes are 01 (control unit faulty, internal fault) and 06 (battery voltage too low). A fault code alone does not prove that the control unit is defective, so the entire fault memory should be checked.
What airbag equipment does the Ferrari 849 Testarossa have?
According to published information, the Ferrari 849 Testarossa has front and side airbags at the front as part of its equipment. The exact number and layout depend on the market and trim level.
Check which airbags your vehicle has, based on its vehicle data. A defective control unit can prevent the airbags from deploying in an emergency. If in doubt, clarify the equipment before sending the unit in.
To send in the control unit, have the fault memory read, disconnect the battery and remove the control unit, ideally with the help of a workshop. Then create a repair order online and send the unit to Airbag24 by parcel. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: the unit is inspected, repaired and tested. The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for immediate use once refitted — no coding or programming is required.
