BMW Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Hi, please take your car to your local autozone and allow them to run a free diagnostic test on the car to see if the same error comes up on their end. If so, then the error is real and they can advise you on the next steps to take to overcome it. Thank you.

I'm going to say that is either caused by an out of balance tire or a warped brake rotor.

ok posted 2 times ANON but this time, tells BMW. so get the free manual on the car and read the radio setting features or pull the RADIO fuse for 10mins and put back the fuse. to reset. it.

It appears that the EWIS module is responsible for triggering the starter...

what is the question sure all the above. how to DIY a very complex trans, (super complex)\ it is no 4R60E , easy send on GM products. oops, last line says how to search for the problem. well this is common vast cars and truck this failure. howto best search means how to diagnose a failing transmission, (get the service manual on it,would be first. this box is complex 7 solenoids or so. , 5 speed box + oD + TTC LOCKE. ZF5HP19 causes: 1: external PCM/TCM error, or wiring from tcm to box bad, damaged. 2: bad solenoid TCC in the box. 3: bad TC the TCC locker inside TC is bad. the shop manual told all that. lacking the real manual ZF one can google the parts and they do have names, the connector as pins and all SOL can be Ohmed out, PAN ON . Measure ohms first, to all SOL. they are not using ISO names (ASE OR SAE) names for soleniods MV, EDS, TOT, OSS, TSS. so one must dig deep to learn those. OK TOT is box temp, sure. OK ss = speed sensors output and turban(input to box) so which one MV or EDS is it of the nifty 7 PAN OFF ANDSince one of the 5HP19 solenoids is located on the top of the valve body, it also has to be removed. CC is normally called EDS4 in this diagram it's call EDSWK. free manuals here https://at-manuals.com/manuals/zf-5hp19/ google finds this all in seconds. MORE LATER

TO DO WHAT, OF 1000 THINGS, THE SERVICE MANUAL COVERS THIS. ,USA/? CAR>?

Well, that is a pretty broad question. In my experience, the highest failure item on that car as far as the cooling system goes is the surge tank.

No needle nose plyers drain pan to catch fuel and follow your eyes Good Luck hope this helps you Mike L.

there is no reset button. it is a fully secure system.(as in NOT HACK-ABLE) they only passive reset is pull main battery NEG LUG for 15min to 1hr. and put back check all fuses then scan the PCM, to see why the IMMO is not happy. car came new with 2 keys, lost the 2nd?

moved you out of cars, to BMW Motorcycles. if I leave light (heads/) for 30minutes, (engine running or not)>?????? if engine not running, that is NORMAL if engine is running that is AbNORMAL and Alt/Gen is dead or fuse blown.. no you have 2 problems?, GEN dead and injection issues. the cold start fails for these reasons of vast. 1: bad fuel, filters clogged. 2:injectors partially clogged from #1 3: spark weak , plugs bad. 4: or starting it with a DEAD Gen that caused battery to be weak. but weak batteries do not crank or crank slow. so.... or does barely and now spark is weak with 11v battery weak? TBO, fix bad gen first so it says running and not flat line the poor battery. I guess you have battery charger and using it to hide the bad GEN sure. in all cases for sure this , check all fuse for sure all related to GEN.

Those look like like communication codes on the computer network. I can't find anything specific to them but they all lead to this. You need a good auto electrician with experience of the oddities of BMWs. https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+BMW+X5+3.0i.+005EB0%2C+000004%2C+0055C4 ..

in Aaska ot Florida keys? well 2 things. 1: lock jammed and bad mechican lures 2: lock solenoid, bad electric coil same as above cure. new. 3: electrics side bad switches bad, to it. do all switches fail to it master and or itself? if all fail the door is bad or wires to it. why not get shop to fix it. like most do, we use voltmeter in 1minute flat, ahhhh 12vdc reaches this solenoid, and lock is bad. or read the users guide yet. have child locks some hidden in doors door jamp or master lock driver , rocker switch kids safe. but kills all rear doors. no told you what all doors do first/????

post a problem first, not a hunt for things not there. let me guess engine cranks but does not start and run and stay running , right <must we beg? is fuel pressure zero 0- or too low , not even measured/? no starts short list of huge. 1: fuses blown. we test those first. 2; bad fuel. (old or diesel over gasoline put in). 3: pump is dead or FPR bad and fuel pressure crazy too low. 4: no spark the PCM cuts fuel if SPARK fails by law, so does. if did. 5: scan tool shows DTC errors you ignore, even cranked? CRASH CONTROL MODULE , DETECTED CUTS FUEL INERTIA SWITCH.? what the logic does here, I have no clue, ask a German? 6: ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM LAMP SHOWS noT HAPPY/?

Compare it with one from another door.

When you disconnect the battery, it causes the anti-theft system pairing to break. On reconnecting the battery, the key and transponder chip need re-pairing. There are some ideas in the link, but with a BMW your best bet is to call a mobile auto-electrician or an auto locksmith. They both have pro grade scan tool computers that can reset the anti-theft system and diagnose any other electrical issues. https://www.google.com/search?q=2011+bmw+328i+reset+anti-theft+system ..

Sonds like the lift motor has stopped working.

Sounds like you might have popped a fuse.
