Ferrari California airbag control unit repair(1)
1 product
What should be considered with Ferrari California airbag control units?
The airbag control unit of the Ferrari California evaluates the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and reports faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself. Airbag24 repairs the control unit you send in.
The control unit is safety-relevant, because in an emergency it decides whether the airbags and belt tensioners fire. Work on the airbag system should therefore be left to a specialist workshop. Improper intervention can impair the function of the entire system.
If the airbag warning light stays on permanently, the system should be checked promptly by a specialist workshop. Not every fault lies in the control unit itself; only a diagnosis shows the cause.
Which Ferrari California generations are there?
Our records list one series for the Ferrari California: the F149 series, built from 2008 to 2017. The series sets the framework; the model year and equipment show the exact variant.
- F149 (2008–2017): the series of the Ferrari California, built from 2008 to 2017.
The model year matters for assignment, because control unit variants can differ within one series. If you are unsure, check the model year and the vehicle identification number (VIN) before you start a repair.
How do I identify my Ferrari California airbag control unit?
The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version. In addition, check the model year and equipment of your vehicle. The vehicle identification number (VIN) helps with the assignment.
The part number shows which version is installed and is therefore a key reference point for the assignment.
Known part numbers for the Ferrari California, without claim to completeness:
- 14305324
- 220244101
- 236543
The fault memory can show fault codes. Examples from our records are B1000, B1001, B1002 and B1004; B1001 stands for an internal fault in the airbag control unit. A single code does not prove a defect, however; only a diagnosis shows the cause.
What airbag equipment does the Ferrari California have?
The Ferrari California has airbags for the driver and front passenger. Spare-parts catalogues also list head airbag modules and parts for side airbags for this model. Which modules are fitted in your vehicle depends on model year and equipment.
The exact equipment of your vehicle is clarified with the vehicle identification number (VIN). Without the VIN, the equipment status cannot be determined reliably.
The steps to a repair are as follows: first have the fault memory read out. Then the battery has to be disconnected and the control unit removed; a specialist workshop should carry out this work. Next, create a repair order online and send in the control unit. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days (checking, repairing, testing).
The repaired control unit returns with all vehicle data and is ready for use immediately after reinstallation — no coding or programming is required.
