Can't get to position 2 on Ignition DME,EKPS,DKG,LMV not responding
I am way out of the depths here. But I hope you guys can help me solve this issue.
Car was running normal, AT ran smooth, never an issue, I heard a weird intermitent clattering noise while idle. I stopped my car to check under the car and then it wouldn't start up again... - Transmission malfunction & parking brake limited notice on dash with 4X4 symbol - Can't get out of parking (I know I can if i go underneath the car if i have to) - Lights on dash flicker when i press push-start (won't stays in Position 2) - won't stay into position 2 even with brakes off (Ista didn't like that, kept losing connection) - No crank, No start - Voltage was 11.6v at battery, T30, T15 and inside engine bay cleaned ground wire on the leftside of engine bay. - Checked fuses for power and continuity - checked power at battery distribution fuses - ordered a Oscilloscope but not sure how to use it yet. Learning how to read wiring diagrams as I go Trying to learn as much as possible from a BMW F01 Workbook on modules. Any help is greatly appreciated!! |

Other more seasoned folks like chime in but culprit #1 is your battery. 11.6v is dead. Modern cars do funky things when batteries get too low.
Have you tried charging the battery? It may be time to replace it too. |

But i charged it overnight till its stable at 12.6v and passed a volt drop test. I really need to get these modules to communicate, atleast then i can try flashing them. I believe my primary fault is something to do with the Gear selector switch. GWS to EGS/DME. But what do I know xD |

This is why I think its due with the GWS. Test plan is prioritizing it.
Is it possible to maybe run a service function to override my car to put it into Position 2, just to run the ABL? |

SOLVED! I think... Only drove it for 15 kms so far
But it turns out it was the ground strap that is near the transmission. Even though once i used a multimetre and tested the voltage and continuity and passed that test. I guess it wasnt a great connection. $80 CAD at the dealership for this wire but worth the pain of finding out it didnt work. |
