A car shop should really be able to figure out a brake pad warning light without help..It isn't that hard..They can only work two different ways ..1.) ground through the rotor 2.) break the circuit open.. Jason

So the shop figured out the brake sensor issue without any feedback for me by the time I called them back their “ electrical guy” took care of it. He is now running through modules and believes there could be a BCM that needs to be replaced so it sounds like there may be a trip for me to the Maserati dealership. they did state with other dealerships that they’ve had luck with getting them to give them codes for BCM’s. I don’t know in holding pattern now until I hear more tomorrow.

Yeah, crossing my fingers that the dealership will work with them, but I’m not holding out any hope. Jason you’ve been spot on, I appreciate all your feedback. I’ll follow up when I know more, it will probably be validation for what you’ve already said. You definitely know what you’re talking about. Wish you were closer.😂

That "electrical guy" definitely twisted those sensor wires together. 🤣💯
 
The brake pad sensor is one wire with a loop at the end..We just did brakes on a M145 car all around...We didn't do anything with the sensors except cut them..As long as it doesn't ground..So a twist does work, but you can just cut them..Don't count on the dealer to help you much...Jason
 
Well, bad news swapped out the battery and everything was the same dash still shows multiple errors.
Did you hit the brakes, I forgot about that after I found a mouse had made a home just under the hood near windshield after I vacuumed it out I tried to start it and lit up like a Christmas tree also wouldn’t shift out of reverse and I had her in neutral when I shut her down , hit the brakes went to neutral and started right up.
 
Well, looks like I’ll be at the Maserati dealership Friday morning 7:30….🥳
I don't think this gonna be a good experience for you...In the South, we call it getting taking out behind the woodshed...Jason

I was at the Maserati dealer today for four hours from 8 to 12 that charge was $400 for diagnosis, the concerning part is they were still still scratching their heads a little bit they believe it is a body computer control unit but they said if that’s not it, they will not charge me, but they are ordering one in, should be in a week and I’ll be back at the dealership. I was told the body computer control unit is $600, so as it stands at $1000.
