How to Fix F1 Light - Bleed the F1 Actuators on a Ferrari F430
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Our Ferrari F430 which is for sale through our dealership, NG Supercars, has been having a F1 light come on occasionally. We had a hard time trying to consistently reproduce the problem but we finally figured out a way to get it to consistently fail. Then we bleed to F1 actuators to purge any air in the system. This required us to remove the F1 actuators (the squid) from the transmission, and run a bleed procedure through our Launch X431 computer. Once the bleed was completed, we had to reattach the actuators then recalibrate them. This seems to have resolved our F1 issue and now the car is completely sorted!

For the friggen life of me I cannot imagine why Dan only has 77k subs. Ive been watching him for quite some time, he's the reason I bought my 458 and put a IPE F1 exhaust on it. I know he doesn't do stupid nonsense like most other car KZread channels but it just baffles my mind how normal exotic car lovers dont love this channel watching all this.

I am often surprised when I talk to Ferrari owners that they don’t know of the NormalGuy channel. I don’t get how you wouldn’t know it as a Ferrari owner, given how NG videos show up in so many Ferrari related searches.
Love that you’re doing more of these common failure item repair videos. Selfishly, this saves me a ton of time trying to explain issues on FB. Now I can just point folks to your channel. Keep up the great work, Dan and team.

@@normalguysupercar it’s just dropping to N when braking from 4 to 3rd, you still think pump or accumulator? Looking at you other vid, it holds pressure for far longer than 2min
Thanks so much for sharing your Knowledge on this ,and how to solve, I have f1 Quattroporte, this will help me I think it will work on 360, Ratorossa did clutch on his 360 and done clutch pis and calibration on launch x431, going to 430 section in launch menu not 360 menu when doing the procedure. He has a video on you tube.

It does blend in a bit better than red. :)
Possibly the shifting solenoids have leaky seals such that the accumulator and pump pressure cannot keep up with fluid demand during quick successive shifts. The duration between the hydraulic pump runs during standstill to maintain pressure will give a good indication of how much leak is going on in the system. New solenoids could be the solution.
@normalguysupercar
Жыл бұрын
The solenoids were fine in this case
I use the Launch on my 360 to change the PIS setting and do the bleed procedure. I have an updated TCU, though, so that might be the difference. I've heard that the updated TCU makes a huge difference in shifting, so you might want to do the upgrade anyway.

Dan, the man. When I was a Junior in college (‘89), I put in a booming car stereo system in my car the night before I had to drive from NY to ATL. I finished the install at 1:00am. I went to turn it on and nothing. I went to bed frustrated. Next day drive the 15hrs to ATL with absolutely no tunes. Next day took everything out reinstalled and still nothing. I noticed my interior light wasn’t working. Turns out it was the frickin’ 10amp radio fuse. Lesson: Start small.

Couple questions / points: - Does the actuator have to come off to bleed it? - I had a 2000 360 Modena that DID talk to a Launch X431 Pro, for what it's worth (pretty sure that was before and after I put a CS TCU in it) - Ah! I remember now - the 360 communicated better when the Launch was in F430 mode, so try that.

You have to unscrew the bleed screws, so yes it needs to come off.

Dan - great video. I’ve got a very similar issue and it’s occasional (more so in 4th gear). It jumps to 6th or 3rd and sometimes N. I can also hear the f1 pump very frequently… you or anyone think it’s the same issue? Replaced clutch, potentiometers etc but hoping this could be my one hope 🙏🏽 value any comments

Anyone try bleeding the system only to find no fluid exits the bleeder screw? My car is stuck in neutral, can’t shift even with key on engine off, F1 pump comes on for 5 seconds and stays off for >5 minutes in between, and never had any issues with shifting out of or missing gears. No F1 or ediff lights on dash, and yes all doors and hatches are closed. Tried extracting old fluid from reservoir, filling with new, and then bleeding system. Pump operates during bleed procedure but no fluid comes out of the bleeder screw when opened. Ordered a new accumulator hoping that solves it….

If you have to replace the actuators, it's about $8k. I'm guessing having it bled at a Ferrari dealership might be about $1-2K.

Couple of questions Dan: Did you have to put the car into Neutral before you removed the actuator from the gearbox? No fluid came out of the 3 bleeders? Did air come out?
