Airbag control unit with part number 60587710

What is the function of Airbag Control Unit 60587710?

The airbag control unit with part number 60587710 is an original Bosch‑manufactured control unit (OEM), developed exclusively for the Ferrari 512 TR (F110). As the central brain of the occupant protection system, it processes data from the crash sensors and is responsible for deploying the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in the event of a collision.

This control unit is precisely tailored to the vehicle architecture of the Ferrari 512 TR. It continuously monitors all connected components of the restraint system to ensure constant operational readiness.

The proper functioning of this device is safety‑critical. A failure results in the deactivation of the entire airbag system, making flawless operation essential for occupant protection.

Why does control unit 60587710 fail?

The most common cause of failure for control unit 60587710 is the storage of crash data after an accident, which permanently locks the unit and generates error codes such as “internal error” (e.g., 65 3 550 or F0). Other causes include electronic defects in hardware components resulting from water damage, voltage issues, or age‑related wear.

After an airbag deployment, a permanent entry is stored in the control unit’s memory. This lock is intentionally designed by the manufacturer and can only be reset through specialized repair that erases the stored data.

Electronic malfunctions are another frequent source of failure. Intruding moisture can lead to corrosion on the circuit board, while voltage fluctuations in the vehicle’s electrical system may damage sensitive components. These issues often manifest as a complete loss of communication with the diagnostic tool.

Technically related control units, such as the Bosch‑made part number 60587700, may exhibit similar fault patterns, underscoring the expertise required for repairing Bosch electronics.

How do you recognize a defect in Airbag Control Unit 60587710?

The clearest indication of a defect in control unit 60587710 is the SRS airbag warning light that remains steadily illuminated or flashes in the Ferrari 512 TR’s instrument cluster. This signals an active system error that disables the airbags and requires immediate inspection at a workshop.

In addition to the visual warning in the cockpit, the fault can be diagnosed via a scan tool. Often, an unerasable error code such as “internal error” or “control unit defective” is logged in the fault memory.

In more severe cases, especially when there is a total internal failure, the control unit can no longer be accessed through the diagnostic interface. Communication between the diagnostic tool and the control unit ceases entirely.

In which vehicles is control unit 60587710 installed?

The Bosch airbag control unit with part number 60587710 is designed exclusively for the classic Ferrari 512 TR sports car from the F110 series. At Airbag24, we repair this specific control unit for models produced between 1991 and 1994.

The exact model designation is: Ferrari 512 TR (F110), manufactured from 1991 to 1994.

Due to the vehicle’s age and rarity, repair represents the most economically sensible—and often the only—available solution to preserve the vehicle’s originality and full safety functionality, as new parts are either unavailable or prohibitively expensive.

How is control unit 60587710 repaired?

At Airbag24, the repair process for control unit 60587710 follows a proven procedure. After submission, a professional diagnosis is performed, followed by elimination of the root cause—whether clearing crash data or replacing faulty components. The unit is returned “plug-and-play,” without reprogramming, including 2 years' statutory liability for defects.

Following online ordering, please send us the removed control unit. Our technicians conduct a thorough incoming inspection to pinpoint the exact cause of the fault on the circuit board.

The repair itself focuses on restoring the original factory specifications. Stored crash data is completely erased, and any defective electronic components are expertly replaced.

After successful repair and a final functional test, the control unit is prepared for return shipment. It can be directly reinstalled in the vehicle; no time‑consuming reprogramming at the workshop is required.
