4.8What is a Ferrari 456 GT F116 airbag control unit?
In the Ferrari 456 GT F116, the airbag control unit is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS). It evaluates what the crash sensors report and, in an impact, triggers the appropriate airbags and seatbelt pretensioners within milliseconds.
The unit continuously checks whether all components of the system are working properly. If it detects a fault, it draws attention to it with the airbag warning light.
This control unit is installed in the Ferrari 456 GT F116 (1992 to 2003). If an accident has occurred, it stores the crash data and locks itself.
Why is the Ferrari 456 GT F116 airbag control unit defective?
The most common cause is crash data left in the memory by an accident, even if no airbag was deployed. Ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture with corrosion on the connectors and voltage spikes are also possible causes.
An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot remove this stored data. That is why the warning light stays on.
Over the years, the components on the circuit board also change. Solder joints become brittle and contacts oxidise. A weak battery or a jump start can produce voltage spikes that put additional strain on the electronics.
Signs of a fault are: a permanently lit airbag warning light, a fault memory that cannot be cleared, or a diagnostic tool that fails to connect.
Common error codes for Ferrari 456 GT F116 airbag control unit repair
The codes stored here relate to the internal state of the control unit and the power supply in the Ferrari 456 GT F116. What exactly is being reported is stated next to each code.
These codes are known for the Ferrari 456 GT F116:
- 01 → Internal control unit fault
- 06 → Battery voltage too low
Codes are read out with a diagnostic tool. A code alone does not mean that the control unit is defective, since connectors, wiring or an airbag module may equally be the cause. Which part is affected only becomes clear during testing.
What part numbers are available for the Ferrari 456 GT F116 airbag control unit repair?
The part number, which determines the exact version, is on the label of your control unit. Depending on equipment and year of manufacture, the numbers differ even within the same model series.
Known part numbers for the Ferrari 456 GT F116 are listed here, although the list is not complete:
- 158122
- 169711
- 174765
Compare the number on your unit with this list. This only tells you that it is the matching unit. Whether it is defective is only established by reading out the fault memory or by testing.
The route to repair can be described in a few steps. First, have the fault memory read out. Then disconnect the battery. In the third step, remove the control unit, in the fourth create a repair order online, and finally send the unit to Airbag24. There your own unit is tested, repaired and checked, usually within 3–4 working days, and then sent back to you.
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.
