Why would you change the crankshaft position sensor on a code for the brakes/transmission? P1774 code description Low Coast Brake Solenoid Valve is turned "ON" or "OFF" by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the Park & Neutral Position (PNP) Switch, Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), and Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor (Throttle Position Sensor). Gears will then be shifted to the optimum position. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when the Low Coast Brake Solenoid Valve does not respond from the TCM signal.

Go in check control menu then hold the BC button. Should display a CC-ID of the problem.. That should point you further to the specific of the problem file:///C:/Users/john/Downloads/E92%20checkcontrol%20symbols.pdf their are a few different reasons from a light to inspection

Hello. It seems your B.M.W.'s PCM (Powertrain Control Module), inadvertently, 'engaged' 4WD on it's own; without your knowledge. Disconnect your Beemer's battery and wait 10-15 minutes then reconnect it. Start engine and drive your Beemer somewhere. If it stays in 4WD, then, another 'reboot' has to be done. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

door change doesnt affect the immobilizer ---depending on how hard or the extent of damage sounds like theirs more damage else where to wiring -electronics -components

Mr. Nkosi. for the BMW X3 2000 over engines there is an issue with their engines. The threads on the cylinder block where the compression gasket and cylinder head torqued just pull off and lost the correct tightening torque and starts the problems with loosing water or burning oil etc. Ask you mechanic to do a search about it and also check your engine for this possibility.

Mr Thomas. Since you renewed the master and slave clutch cylinders and do have pressure to release clutch but not engaged, means that either you have broken driven clutch plate or pressure plate broken. Means you need new clutch.

Mr Hans. You said replaced the sparks as no7 was missing or missfiring. I take it for missfiring. Now you removed 8 ht leeds and removed and renewed 8 spark plugs. Possible cause of the random missfiring you have is, either not properly clicked the leeds to the spark plugs, or your leeds are old and by removing them are cracked, or slightly moved from the distributtor cap. Check for these issues. To disconnect the battery is not the solution. I believe you have HT leeds issue.

Mr.Ramage as an Automotive mechanic with many years experience happened and still happening this issue for a new electronic part to work for just once and never again,or just bought put on not working and try for another one. Mostly the aftermarket parts - not all - depends where come from are on balance to good and no good. Are Electronics. The same happened with tvs,mobiles, toys etc.

Mr Goforth. I just read your question. what you have scanned fault codes have nothing to do with your today issue. Since you tried starting the car by jumping the battery tapping the starter motor with negative results, I advice you to check whether you might face : a) not clean to contact battery terminals, b) no good Earthing wiring, c) Ignition Fuse or Relay blown, d) Ignition switch lock not working. Good Luck.

Do they stay on a few mins or stay on tell the battery discharges?

Check exhaust smoke color when engine hot. If there is white smoke, there may be oil in the pipes. Means the valve seal is leaking oil into the cylinder. Another way to check is to look at the spark plug tips. If is full of soot like burnt oil then the oil is leaking into the cylinders. If yours is E60 turbo, check the presence of residue oil in both the exhaust and intake turbine. If there is, the oil seals in the turbo housing is leaking oil. They do sell service kits for turbos.

Install a fully charged battery. Put on the parking brake and see if the key can be removed. If you need further help, please specify year and exact model. A VIN number would be helpful.

Read out the error Codes ( poss. 2750 and/or 2751 ?). It could well be that the throttlebody or maybe cables/plug connection is causing this problem and the 4x4 as the dsc may also be disrupted (error Code 5f1d ?) if the throttlebody function is defective. Try cleaning it & check all its electricals are good. Clear the faults and test drive. If you're still getting transferbox problems, check the actuator/plastic gear and maybe change the transferbox oil AND reset the adaptions. Hope this helps

In the manual it should show how to insert the code using the radio screen and station numbers , the screen starts to flash when the right numbers are pressed you can enter the code using the station keys 41555 .

It is located on the right side of the trunk of the car, behind the trim panel.

If the vehicle isn't over heating and operating as it should, I wouldn't think you have a bad sensor. Possibly a bad bearing in the fan motor.

Easiest way to locate your leak is a spray bottle with some soapy water. Raise and support the vehicle to where you can safely be under it. Run the car and get the suspension fully raised then spray all fittings in the system. Listen for leaks too. When you find a spot that creates lots of bubbles when you spray it, you have found the source of your leak.
