Hello I'm getting the error 5e34 after replacing an faulty dsc unit that was bad (the module not the pump was bad)

the new module is from 2011 and my car is an 2006 e91 325D

Programmed the vin and everything else looks good!

Steering angle is also calibrated.

Ista+ can't calibrate the longitudinal acceleration sensor

Neither other programs that I have tried

Any ideas? Really lost and thinking that it maybe could be that the actual sensor is different in my compared to the sensor under the seat in the 2011, what do you think and is there somebody that got something I can try?

Thanks

It's possible you have installed the wrong DSC module. There are several different DSC modules depending on what engine and build date your car is. Im pretty sure 2006 cars had a seperate LDM (longitudinal dynamics module) if you post your vin i can check

My vin is WBAVU71080KC10836

I have seen some posts that states that as long as you get an module from the same size engine I should have been fine.

Is that not true then?

No that is definitely not true

Your car was built in Nov 2006, so that makes it a 2007 model year car.

Two questions. Did you code the DSC module after programming it? Do you have the vin of the car that your new module came from so i can cross check the part numbers?

No i don't have the vin of the newer car but it is an 2011, yes it is coded to my cars vin number successfully!

I first changed vin and then coded it to remove fault codes, there were 6 codes from the beginning now I'm stuck at this one

Could you please check which numbers would fit my car?

What's the reason that makes the newer ones not work?

Thanks for your help

So unfortunately it looks like you have put the wrong DSC unit into your car. According to ETK you can't use an LCI DSC unit in your particular model. I don't know why. The DSC that fits your car was also fitted to the E81 120d, 120i with n43 engine, and 130i. And was also fitted to the 323i, 325i, 325d, 330d, 330i, 335d and 335i E90, E91 E92 or E93. But if it comes from ANY of these cars it HAS to be a car manufactured from 09/06 to 09/07 or it won't work.

Do you think this module will work then?

From an e92 330D 06 produced in October

Vin on that car: WBAWD52000PD50230

NOTE: my car is LEFT hand drive and the part car is an RHD, does that matter?

Module number on DSC: 3452 6778239-01

How can I see when the module is produced?

And I really appreciate your help really needed since I'm new to BMW

No that car comes up with a slightly different part number. I think it's because it's a right hand drive car. You will need to find a left hand drive car i would say.

With your vin, the parts numbers on realoem are here... https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...&q=34502460506

Yeah I have seen them numbers but it's wired to me because the number it says is fitted to my car does not match.. my module had the number

:3452 6778237-01


And it seems like you posted repair kits and not the actual unit, have looked at realoem but their numbers is just a mess. At least for me, can't make anything out of them

[TunafishE93]

The part number you referenced is the whole unit with hydraulic and module. Just the module is what i linked, which might be easier to find a module that will work. Going by the whole unit you wont be 100% if the module is compatible.

How can I see the number of the module? Is there a number on the sticker which tells me what the module number is?

I guess I'm locking for the bmw oe number how can I find that?

[TunafishE93]

Should be on the back of the module as seen in picture. You cant miss it..

If it is the 3452 ..... etc number on the picture that's the number I was looking at and the one that I referred to.

But it's wierd because realoem numbers don't match at all from the model year 2007 ones on the internet :/ (the numbers from the link that you sent or the numbers I looked up myself)

Found one pricy unit with the same number as mine but I'm not really keen on spending 500€ on the module

If the 2011 dsc has programmed ok into your 2006 car apart from the 5E34 fault, you need the acceleration sensor from a newer car. From around 2008 I believe, they changed the sensor type, so although you've sync'd the new dsc to your car, the old sensor is not comparable to the new dsc as the wiring is different therefore the 5E34 fault.

Thank you so much, as you might see in my original post I was thinking that there was a possibility that exactly that was going on!

Will it work if I swap to a newer one? Or is the actual wiring different like you mentioned and thus making it incompatible?

Or is it just plug and play just that the values from the sensor makes an intermittent error?

Thanks again much needed input

[Lostswedishcarguy]

I noticed that the actual contact socket or whatever it's called is that same just that the number of pins isn't the same, so do you think it will work if I swap them?

Would be amazing if it would

[fergusond]

You need a second hand sensor and it's plug, the plug will need a small length of wiring so you easily attach it to your wiring. The 2006 car has a 6 pin 4 wire plug, the sensor to match your new dsc will need a 4 pin 4 wire plug which is a different shape to the old plug so you cannot bolt down a new type sensor with the 2006 plug.

[fergusond]

I just done all this by fitting a dsc from a 330D to my 2007 335i.

Thank you dude <3

You just saved me a ton of money

Gonna order one right away

[fergusond]

The orientation of the pins are different but the colours the same, that's why you need a small length of wiring with the plug, unless you want to unpick the pins from the plug and reposition them.
