Thank you
Hi
This X5 came to me after a conversion from Air Suspension to normal springs...
The car would throw an error for the suspension system, as no longer was able to adjust the height of the car...
The request, to code the air suspension off...
IMPORTANT:
The module also needs to be removed/disconnected.
It lives in the right hand side of the boot, and is a 1 plug small module.
Is made by WABCO, and is the ECAS module.
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!

You need to take the air compressor fuse out. You won't get any faults coming up. Dame thing happened to me. Was told to take fuse out and no more faults coming
Well done mate good video as usual. Does your maxisys allow you to carry out software updates?

it's freezing? nice and warm here but windy .. this is an interesting one, do you have a backup in case it doesn't work out? well done, I know you said it's only coding, but even so my stomach still fluttered when you started it running, we have all had things which for whatever reason just don't go well. That maxisys never seems to let you down, very useful video. thanks

Thanks for the video but it was incomplete for me. E70 - I never got rid of the EHC error until I deleted the adaptive drive 2VA from the Kombi. This should help the next guy.

The video is not incomplete... Obviously if you have different options that might rely on this system, other things might need coding... There is no such thing as one fits all... The video is only a guide, nice you found a way for yours! 👍👍👍

I still come across a lot of individuals who do not understand the difference between coding and programming . Maybe you experience the same ? They ask me to program their PCM which actually needs coding or vice versa . I sometimes ask these people where they studied that they know this stuff and why they are not working as diagnosticians . You know I like your videos Luis . My comment is just stating a fact that I regularly run into and I wonder if other professionals have the same experience . I sometimes feel like I am being fooled because these people pretend to know more than me .

Do you know if this conversion could be the cause of a battery draining while driving every 5 days aprox. without related codes or a failure related to the new battery and recently repaired alternator . Thanks

Exactly how important is disconnecting the EHC module? I did this process with my E70 and error came out of both the cluster and the CCC. However about 3hrs after switching off the vehicle. I decided to go back on the road and 5mins after driving boom the error came right back. Is this as a result of not disconnecting the module?

Hi In regards to what it doesn't matter? I never installed one of those, so can't really comment... On a BMW, all modules communicate between them, they are often all integrated parts of the entire systems and subsystem... What problem are you experiencing? 👍👍👍

@@LMAutoRepairs Just that it will be hard to encode without all the original parts there. I have been having battery drain since spring conversion. EHC module doesn't allow car to enter sleep mode, so basically it drains until IBS kicks in and overrules. Every day, every time its parked. I guess it's worth the shot.. but BMW technician told me that there is a chance I will need to find an OEM CCC unit to plug in during coding. Just here for your second opinion.

@@LMAutoRepairs Alright, will give it a shot! now.. if I told you that the car still has it's original CCC system, but that the screen simply is a android unit, and that you can actually toggle between CCC/Android(Apple car play) would you think that changes anything? I mean, the CCC system is obviously still there, just not the original monitor..

In that case, the coding should just work... As no coding is done on the screen itself... If not by changing the VO, and then coding, will work manually... 👍👍👍
