Please help!

I have issues using NCSExpert to code my car back to stock and need some assistance.
*I have a 09 BMW 335i Vert (E93) w/ comfort access.

I have been reading the forums on how to code.
I was successfully able to code many things (Kill Seatbelt Chimes, iDrive Disclaimer, welcomelights, unlockdoors when key out, etc).
But when i attempted to code close mirrors/lock doors (key fob), i lost the ability to drop the top.

I attempted a couple of methods to code the car back to stock but none seem to work.
I attempted coding with car on/off, Door Open/Close, Expertmode/FSW PSW MAN (Profile) but each time i went back to confirm settings, it seems that the coding I performed earlier is still enabled.

Whenever i went attempted to process car than code car..
The NCSExpert would throw out an error message & the car would throw a MIL/CEL.
*See attachment.

Any suggestions?

Method 1:

To load up the ORIGINAL factory defaults if you mess up.

Go to your /WORK/ folder. Open FSW_PSW.MAN, select all, delete, save & exit.

Load NCS Expert

Select "Expertmode" profile

Hit "VIN/ZCS/FA" to load your Chassis and Vehicle order info

Hit BACK

Hit PROCESS ECU

Select the chassis, then module you F'd up on. For example "LSZ"

On Pre-02 cars It will say "LSZ" and underneath "SG_Codieren" along with some files LSZ.Cxx, LSZ.PRG, etc etc. SG_CODIEREN is the correct job you want.

On Post-02 cars It will say "LSZ" and underneath "SG_Codieren" along with some files LSZ.Cxx, LSZ.PRG, etc etc. Hit CHANGE JOB, Select "FA_WRITE" Job.

"xx" is usually the specific Coding index used in your default module, its a number. think of this like "firmware version".

These files are basically from your /DATEN/ folder and contain the proper coding information specific to your car. How does NCS know which files to use? Because it knows by looking at your VIN and VO, then selects the correct files. NCS will then basically read these files, then read your VO and re-write the proper codes, features, activate, deactivate everything to your factory settings.

The job is SG_Codieren or FA_Write because you will WRITE your original settings back in.

Hit EXECUTE JOB.

Viola, your original data is re-written and your car will work again. Hopefully.

Method 2:

Yeah, whenever you do "Process car" in expert mode it resets all modules to their default values based on the VO. You have to redo any custom coding you've done up to that point.

Correct, make a backup of all TRC files. I'd grab the initial backup (~220 KB) which contains everything and then make a backup of each individual module after that, even ones you may not intend to code just to be safe. Technically you have an escape hatch anyway in that you can always click "Code Car" with a blank MAN file to restore everything to defaults, but backups can't hurt. Also make sure to clear your TRC before all captures and clear your MAN files after all code operations.

Personally what I do is keep a backup of all modules (in addition to the entire car backup) in their stock state and then never touch those copies. Then I have separate backups of all of the MAN files in the state that I've coded them into the car so I can always view my active config and run a compare to see what changes I've made from the stock config without having to connect to the car each time.

Forgot to hit "View->Error Log" (on the NCS Program Menu)...Will try again as soon as the rain stops!

Buddy don't ever do process car. And the error you are gettin is because you cannot code your mulf module via obd so it fails. Code each individual module separately in expert mode but I remember that you can close the top by messing around with the convertible module after you enable window close

This is the correct guide..Thanks for the confirmation BMW..

1. Load NCSExpert.
2. Load Profile and select Expertmode
3. F1 (VIN/ZCS/FA)
4. F3 (ZCS/FA f .ECU)
5. Choose E89 (for the E9X)
6. Select CAS
7. F6 (BACK)
8. F4 (Process ECU)
9. Select the Module I want to Revert back to Stock.
10. F2->Choose "SG_Codieren->ok
11. F3->to start coding the ecu with factory settings according to the vehicle VO.

Yes

[cewo38]

how long takes coding the ecu with factory settings according to the vehicle VO

thx

[redblackbmw]

Please help asap


ive followed this guide ,

however all my modules remain the same.

problem:
the key fob closing door, open windows, lock reopen mirrors stop working .
After I tried to code vr-keyout.
Ive followed this exactly .
1. Load NCSExpert.
2. Load Profile and select Expertmode
3. F1 (VIN/ZCS/FA)
4. F3 (ZCS/FA f .ECU)
5. Choose E89 (for the E9X)
6. Select CAS
7. F6 (BACK)
8. F4 (Process ECU)
9. Select the Module I want to Revert back to Stock.
10. F2->Choose "SG_Codieren->ok
11. F3->to start coding the ecu with factory settings according to the vehicle VO.


After i go back to check if anything is default everything is the same as i coded it.

Like komfortschliessung_fb stays active, the car process the code and turn off and turn on, but the default remains the same and the mirrors don't work with fob, the bc-velocity feature is the only coded feature that is still working.

Are you using an expert mode profile? Double check that manipulation is NOT ticked in the profile settings...

[redblackbmw]

yes im using expert profile mode

[redblackbmw]

fixed thank you bro!!!

[gabylonfive]

what was the issue?

[julienjj]

The issue was kind of easy to fix.... If you use a profile that has "manipulation" enabled in the settings, the software will upload the content of the .MAN file in the module when you do a SG_codieren job. If manipulation is off, the software will use the VO and the daten files to generate the default file that would have been found in the module originally (based on the vehicle options list)

[popwarfour]

thanks for the info everyone, good to know before I start any coding!

[Jozy]

well, if the man file is empty the default settings would be uploaded too anyway

[gorgeto]

Thank you for the guide it is really helpful!!!

I just got NCS expert set up on my computer and coded the digital speedo, scrolling through the code I found "SPORT ANZEIGE" - sport display, which sounded exiting. I changed this to aktiv and after this the car wouldn't start.

I tried resetting the code to default using this very guide:

1. Load NCSExpert.
2. Load Profile and select Expertmode
3. F1 (VIN/ZCS/FA)
4. F3 (ZCS/FA f .ECU)
5. Choose E89 (for the E9X)
6. Select CAS
7. F6 (BACK)
8. F4 (Process ECU)
9. Select the Module I want to Revert back to Stock.
10. F2->Choose "SG_Codieren->ok
11. F3->to start coding the ecu with factory settings according to the vehicle VO.

This did reset both the digital speedo and sport anzeige to nicht_aktiv but the car still won't start. I am however not sure if my FSW_PSW.TRC file has been correctly restored. By memory I don't remember seeing this at the beginning of it for example:

CBS_STAT_01H
anzeige
CBS_STAT_02H
anzeige
CBS_STAT_04H
anzeige
CBS_STAT_03H
anzeige
CBS_STAT_10H
anzeige
CBS_STAT_11H
anzeige
CBS_STAT_20H
anzeige
CBS_STAT_21H
sperre
CBS_MODE
level_4
CBS_GELB_HUAU
wert_01
CBS_RES_SPERR

Does anyone with expertise have any idea of what can be the problem? Might I have fried some module/electronics in the car?

As im sure you can understand I am quite devastated by the situation and any help will be much appreciated.

I just solved it by going in INPA > CAS > activate > sync motor ECU.

Can someone help me I think missed up with ncs expert as well my car won't turn on anymore after coding mk60 ?

What were you attempting to code within the module? And, how does your car respond when trying to start it? Is it possible you just killed your battery?

My ABS module needed to be replace but it also needs coding I tried used NCS-EXPERT
I loaded profile expertmode clicked F1 and then F3 I choose chasis e46 ECU AKMB , mk60,F6 ,F4 and then I executed job exited ncs attempted to start the car no crank sound maybe a dead battery ? the dashlights stay on even I when take out the key You think it need to be coded back to stock ?

Disconnect the battery and touch the positive/negative terminals for about 20-30 seconds. Hook it back up, and try to start it again.
