New warning lights and issues

RED-d · 10-09-2017, 05:48 PM

I just finished trouble-shooting a boost issue. After taking the car off the jack stands and going for a test drive I have these issues:
Red warning light of a car lift, door open warning, dash lights and blinkers don't work, keyfob doesn't work, and who knows what else.

The car was on jack stands for 3 days and I needed to jump (actually a battery tender, not a jump) the car when I was done. Pretty much the same scenario when I did cbu cleaning a couple months ago. No issues then.

Does something need to be reset in this car, or did I inadvertently disconnect/break something? maybe a fuse?

Going to try disconnecting the battery for awhile.

How old is that battery?

Good question. I don't see a date stamped on it and the date stickers aren't punched. It's a 6 year Interstate battery.

No joy after having battery disconnected for over an hr. Windows also don't work.

Two fault codes on instrument cluster:
1. Message error (lighting state. 0x21A). receiver instrument panel, transmitter footwell module.
2. Message error (footwell module. 0x4F0)/ receiver instrument panel. transmitter footwell module.

One ABS fault code:
1. D35A/not present: No message (CAS 0x304). receiver DSC. Transmitter DAS

One EGS 6HPTU fault:
1. CF35/not present: message from CAS. receiver EGS, transmitter CAS

These are with engine off in diag mode, using Schwaben scanner.
With engine running, I just get the two instrument cluster codes.

Hmm...now I am worried your FRM is potentially toast. Were you doing any coding or programming this go around?

That thread also links another with some insight.

Thanks, I'll read those. But no, all I did was notice my intercooler hose blew off giving me lots of smoke and no power. I took off all the panels to take off the engine cover so I could visualize everything from the top. After looking below I discovered the hose off.
That was it. Now all these issues.
I was in denial that that issue was a sudden mysterious vacuum issue (and it wasn't). Now I'm in denial that this is another mysterious catastrophic ghost, although I'm looking at everything.

CO335D · 10-10-2017, 08:33 AM

Can you throw the battery on a charger, and get it charged all the way? I know these cars do very mysterious things when the battery isn't up to snuff.

Your FRM probably fried. The good thing is BMW has a reimbursement program to get it fixed. See if your car is covered here: http://www.bmw-rp.com/production/isg...nsf/submit.xsp

Does this repair need to be done by BMW to be covered?

I wonder if having the battery tender connected (under hood) while the pos+ cable was still connected to the car may have caused this?

Actually yes. I was using my scanner to check for codes after I finished with the boost hose, both with and without the engine running because I wasn't sure what was the best way. Now I know. Prob not a fully charged battery when scanning. I bet that is #1 on the scanning 101 thread.

As long as you keep receipts and records of repair, you should be able to be reimbursed. Low battery voltage can fry the FRM. That's all I know.

Do your windows work. Do your headlights stay on when the car is running. Do your blinkers work.

No, yes, No

I'm sure it's the FRM module. Having trouble getting the panels off to get to it. I started another thread for that.

Yozh · 10-11-2017, 09:51 PM

It’s your FRM.

Mik325tds · 10-16-2017, 06:19 AM

Yes, your FRM has corrupted it's EEprom which is a known bug in the FRM SW. If you don't have a tune, just bring it to your BMW dealer. If you do have a tune, PM me, I can help you with revived one.

Yozh · 10-16-2017, 09:53 PM

Mik helped me with my FRM when it needed it and I’m forever grateful.

RED-d · 10-19-2017, 11:34 PM

Mik has my board now and is helping. Thanks for all the advice.

Question: Will my car still run without the FRM board in?

Reason: There is a diesel (truck) drag race event this weekend and they will have a mobile dyno doing 3 runs for $100. I'd love to see what I'm pulling.

It would be advised not to drive your vehicle with it out.

Wise advice I'm sure. I'm taking the TDI.
