Or you could just run a wire from positive to negative connections without being connected to battery. Make sure battery is disconnected and turn on your headlights, that will drain power out of capacitors. Thx

I'm not sure if you still respond to comments but I have a 1997 BMW Z3 The ignition went out so we wired a button in still had to have the key in the ignition to get it to work it worked for almost a year All of a sudden I was driving and it just died. When I flip the switch to go into accessory 2 it won't go it just goes into accessory one. It will crank but not start none of my dash lights come on. All the lights that come on in accessory 2. By accessory one comes on for my stereo

N47 116d had a 4b90 low rail pressure on start and only getting 150-250ish bar fluctuating at rail so changed hpfp (cp4.1) cam follower and pump head which gives me 400bar at rail now but still no start. Only get 0.3v signal on rail pressue sensor with ignition on and increases to 0.8v on crank, 5v and ground are good. The rail pressure drops away almost instantly too. Does the dde need a reset, faulty sensor. Thoughts please really appreciated.

I probably need to give this a shot myself with my 2014 BMW X. I cant sseem to diagnose the issues ita been throwing at me. Im thinking it's probably the DME/ECU but there's many different things that could be wrong because there's a lot with the same symptoms m High Pressure Fuel Pump, knock sensors, cam sensors, mass Air Flow, Map sensor the list goes on. Maybe this will buy me some time.

Get a good scan tool. I'll be doing a video on what I use and it's a good starting point for diagnostic tools besides the laptop software or a GT1. You can see real world data from the ECU.

This is called a capacitive discharge. It doesnt "drain the juice out of everything", it resets all of the modules in the car by forcing them to essentially go to sleep, and come back when you disconnect the connection. We do this at Subaru as part of the diagnostic process.

I mean the description was explaining in layman terms. Capacitive dischage - removing the juice, yeah I instantly thought that when he explained it like that. Capacitors essentially hold electrical energy so he did remove the juice from the system.

Do you possibly know how to do this? If you need any more info please let me know.

I don't know much about BMW but I know they save memory longer in the ECU or ECM so you have to leave battery terminals disconnected for at least 24 hours and turn on headlight switch to make sure any power left in the system is drained before ECM will reset.

This works great on Tesla model S

Do you still repair BMW cars?

In this case it was the alternator, bad diodes caused the battery to drain while not running. No amount of Diagnostics could have found this, After the hard reset I had no problems, and had to either pull fuses to see if the amperage dropped, or get the volt meter and test components manually.

How to fix cc-id 415?

Why you need to research issues before taking hearsay as gospel. When you have to change a battery in the MW X5 (from 2005 with E53 or N62 chassis but pretty well any BM after 2002) it is important that you update the ECU to register the change. The main reason for this is because the ECU stores electric energy which varies from the battery power. Registering a new battery also updates the computer controlled alternator. If you do not do it, you may set in motion the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) / Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). Not doing a battery reset may cause other problems like shortening your battery life or in the worst case, damage other electrical components. And that will cost you BIG-TIME.

@Jay-May

Жыл бұрын

I agree, registration of the battery is important and I did that. This was one of many things I checked. In this case the problem was actually the diodes in the alternator, the gates wouldn't shut and drained the battery. I have a video about parasitic drain and how to test the alternator to make sure your alternator is good.

Basically we are connecting the positive to the negative. This drains the power to capacitors and clears codes that are stored in the ECU and various other systems within the car. Programming is retained, just error codes are removed. I used jumper cables because the two wires are short and can't connect normally, so I used jumper cables to complete the circuit.
