Ferrari Roma Spider airbag control unit repair(1)

What should be considered for Ferrari Roma Spider airbag control units?
The airbag control unit manages the entire airbag system of the Ferrari Roma Spider. It reads the crash sensors, triggers the airbags and belt tensioners, and reports faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.
A defective control unit can cause the airbag warning light to stay on permanently. The airbag system is then no longer fully operational. As airbags are safety-critical, diagnosis should be left to a specialist workshop.
Airbag24 repairs your own control unit, sent to us, at the workshop in Berlin, and erases the crash data in the process. Whether a fault can be rectified in an individual case only becomes clear once the unit has been checked on arrival.
Which Ferrari Roma Spider generations are there?
The Ferrari Roma Spider was built as the F169 series from 2023 to 2026. It is the open-top version of the Ferrari Roma.
The production period of the F169 series is therefore clearly defined. Within these years, equipment and control unit version can vary depending on the year of manufacture. For this reason, the model year and part number should always be checked together.
- F169 (2023–2026): open-top version of the Ferrari Roma
How do I identify my Ferrari Roma Spider airbag control unit?
The part number on the label of the control unit determines the exact version installed in your vehicle. Before sending in the unit, also note the year of manufacture and equipment of your Ferrari Roma Spider.
The part number is printed on the label of the control unit. For the Roma Spider, the following part number is known, among others:
- 851126
This list does not claim to be complete. Examples of fault codes are code 01 for a faulty control unit with an internal fault and code 06 for battery voltage that is too low. A single fault code alone does not prove a defect in the control unit. It is an indication that an inspection needs to clarify.
What airbag equipment does the Ferrari Roma Spider have?
According to vehicle descriptions, front airbags for driver and front passenger and front side airbags are standard equipment on the Ferrari Roma Spider. Which further airbags are fitted in your vehicle depends on the specification.
The front and side airbags deploy when the crash sensors detect an impact that requires deployment. The airbag control unit determines the timing and extent of deployment. Whether additional head, curtain or knee airbags are fitted can be checked in the equipment list or in the vehicle documents.
If the airbag warning light is on, have the fault memory read first. Then proceed as follows:
- Have the fault memory read
- Disconnect the battery
- Have the control unit removed by a specialist workshop
- Create a repair order online
- Send in the unit
Processing usually takes 3–4 working days: we check the unit, repair it and then test it. The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is required.
