Digimaster 3 Mileage Tuning for Ferrari F430: (1EAF) Error

 I’m having some trouble trying to adjust the mileage of my Ferrari F430 2006 (24LC16B chip) using the Yanhua Digimaster 3. The manual instructs me to connect the 8-pin 24LC16B chip to the crystal oscillator, but I can’t seem to find it on the board.

Vehicle Model: Ferrari F430 2006 UK RHD

Instrument Cluster Model: Digitek D03FT36R4

8-pin Chip Type: 24LC16B

After sharing the image with Yanhua Digimaster 3 technical support, they confirmed that the crystal oscillator was indeed present.

However, the technician also stated that it’s difficult to read data directly from the 24C16 chip type on the circuit board due to CPU interference. We recommend removing the chip from the circuit board and soldering it to an OBP adapter before reading.

Of course, I hate desoldering chips, so I read the chip directly on the board, and an error message appeared: (1EAF)There is interference not supported, please short connect crystal vibration or reset grounding and try again.


The technical team clarified that this error confirms the existence of CPU interference, and the most effective solution is still to transfer the chip to the OBP adapter.

I did as he said, and luckily, I completed it in one go.
