    +1, I've had this same exact issue. The OBD2 reader is erratic when reading two separate banks. In my case, I had a brake light switch error showing, then I cleared it, but the light stayed on. When I hooked the reader up again, it read a similar code from the other bank. Once I also cleared that code, the light went away.

    Stopped by "Concourse Cars" in Old Colorado City (shop that did extensive work on my 348). I described the code, showed him the code read out, and basically sad many of the same things that have already been said here. His methodology is to take the simplest route first, possible carbon build up, and the car now residing at higher altitude.. and he sent me on my way with a bottle of this....w/ the instructions to fill the tank and then drive the hell out of it.... We will see what happens.

    I use Techron, probably very similar. That is basically fuel system cleaner, and is not going to do much, if anything, for any carbon in the combustion chamber. Carbon is not normally a problem with modern emissions controlled cars, so not to worry, but injectors do tend to get dirty in Ferraris.

    I just got my ferrari 360 f1 two weeks ago. Drove the car from home to the mall about 10 miles, and coming back the engine ligth come ON. This is the 2nd time it happen. The dealer wide world ferrari says was a exhaust valve unplugged. Now I check and the valve look ok. Do you guys think by driving on F1 auto will affect my car ? And ligth is coming on for that reason?. I turned the car On, wait 5 mins before I go and keep it under 3000 rpm until oil warms up

    Have the code read. Most common reason would be improperly tightened gas cap. However without code it’s all speculation.

    I topped off my fuel tank too much. Check engine light went on. Drove it to lower fuel level. Turned off, then turned on cutoff switch in trunk. Light did not reappear. Problem solved

    ... And also a reminder to check posting date. I pm'd the original poster to offer to assist only to discover he'd sold it 2 years ago. This is a resurrection thread from circa 2014
