JBD install and check engine light came up?
I install the JBD on thursday set up at 80%, i have been driving the car normal for the first 5-10min after morning start. Today i was coming back to my house and i step on the car a couple times and then the check engine light came on, i step on it but it does not feel as fast anymore, car drives normal but it feels stock. Did it go to safe mode? If i buy the tool scan from burgertuning and i delete the codes will the power come back?

Thats one reason I have RENNtech although JBD is very good for the price I did not want this nightmare, get it scanned it probably is in SAfe mode, eventually the car will catch up with the program

I know what u saying but with the ecu flash when you have a recall and they have to reflash the ecu at the dealer, you will lose the tune

Get the CANtool from BMS. The cheapest weapon against CELs and limps caused by JBD.

Scan Tool
Has anyone used the Scan Gauge 2 tool that you can get for about $150 at AutoZone? From what I can tell it should work fine, but wondered if anyone had any experience with it on the BMW? Jack

I would suspect that this would work for the basics, but you would not be able to view the BMW-specific codes or any shadow codes. I have a pretty decent Actron guage which does not view the shadow codes either (although it is good to use for the clear-language display on standard codes and various mapping functions. The bottom of the barrel BMS guage is not exactly a User Interface marvel,but it does the trick for viewing and clearing the shadow codes which can have an affect on BMWs views of your warranty. If you want something nicer or more intuitive, I believe that many recommend bavtechnic (sp?). Hope this helps! |

I didn't get the code reader, i was looking on line and saw the one on Bavarian Autosport, i know is more money $179 but is it worthy to get it or just go with the JBD one

Personally, I would stick with a Baverian Technic OBDII cable or alternatively go with the CAN tool/reader if all you want to do do is read/delete tune related codes. The BT cable provides a lot more functionality such as data logging things like AFR's, intake temps, EGT etc... http://burgertuning.com/CAN_reader_tool_for_BMW.html |

Lol, in this case I have to agree with you as most folks if doing research would've purchased a Scantool capable of clearing codes concurrently with the purchase of the JBD. However, I believe that you were implying a different connotation. I'm rusty on my Latin, how do you say "make sure that you rule out installation of an installed product as the cause for error before blaming the product itself?"

No you do not need to remove the JBD to delete codes. I would however check to make sure your JBD connection to the rail pressure sensor is tight. Better yet, you might want to unclip and reclip it to make sure you have a good connection.

I did a comparo with another member today and we found that the side-by-side difference b/n JBD (@90%) and stock is noticeable but nothing dramatic from 30-80. We ran a few times from 30/40 to 100/110 using stock shift points and (while there was a difference) the difference was fairly nominal (maybe a car length or two?). My suspicion is that a 0 to 100 run would be somewhat more noticeable, but tough to arrange safely on an off-track comparison. |
