Checking for fault codes

Quick question... A few months back I was able to code a few things... mirror folding, side markers, etc... not a whole lot. Recently I experienced a loss of power while driving home. I found this threat that mentions a possible problem for my case http://www.f30post.com/forums/showth...7#post13929107

Is there any way for me to check if there's any engine or electrical fault code logs using E-Sys or any other way? Any help will be much appreciated.

Assuming the fault condition no longer exists, to clear the fault code.

1) Launch C:\EDIABAS\Bin\TOOL32.EXE
2) Hit F3
3) Load C:\EDIABAS\Ecu\F01.PRG
4) In the "Select Job: F01" window, select FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL
5) Hit F5
6) "Results" window should show "JOB_STATUS = OKAY"

Hopefully, Problem Solved.

Note: fs_lesen_funktional only read fault codes, FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL will delete it.

It sure does, but in my 2012 ZSL car with 2VL (but NOT the adaptive suspension that was bundled in 2013s with 2VL) it enables exactly...nothing. :-)

I might turn it off next time I code the car because there's nothing worse than having the ability to set options for hardware that just doesn't exist in your car.

I've been a little too loosey-goosey about my coding and now the payment is coming due.

I've been very happily coding my car with Esys 3.18.3 and PSdZData 48.2 -- the car is a 2012 F30. I've been coding along without keeping track of what I've set.

Now, the car is coming up on its first service interval and I am sure the dealer will update it so that I have to upgrade to a later Esys and PSdZData (and I will get my own personal "PM sent" reply from shawnsheridan when I ask for the new files and contact info for the seller of the Esys token).

My question is: can anyone suggest a technique I might try to save the changes I've made, as compared to the base files, so that I can reconstruct what I did when I start with a new, updated level of software in the car?

(I promise to keep a personal cheat sheet next time, which is what I should've done from the beginning. )

You're probably out of luck. I would just re-code the features you know you use and if you don't remember or miss one, then you didn't need it coded anyway!

One thing you definitely don't want to do is to take one of your existing .ncd files and apply it to a newly updated ECU. There is a very high likelihood that the FDL layout has changed and pushing an old .ncd file will change settings you don't want to change and/or completely mess up your ECU.

I've seen that there is a CAFD comparison utility floating around on the other forums, but it's of no practical use to me because it requires decrypted CAFD files and I have not seen any tool out there to do that.

Frogman/Shawn, trying to code FEMBODY and i'm getting this: File for "cafd_00000794-004_228_010" not found!

Either of you can link me to this CAFD file?

Sorry, I don't have it. It's not in 2.49.2, so it's probably in 2.49.3.

Yes, this is 1 of 6 new CAFD's added in 49.3.

49.3 CAFD's though cannot be added to 49.1. Full 49.3 is needed.

SPORT +
Yes
ICMQL
3000
IcmKod_B_Sportlenkung nicht_verbaut
verbaut
Enables SPORT+ mode (You'll get an error about RPA after coding. Restart car and it goes away)

Additional coding required to get the FDS menu complete will come in a later update.


What does this part mean?

Is it worth coding this??

Hey guys! I got it working and coded some stuff today (All thanks to Shawnsheridan, you rock!)

I just wanted to share this piece of information incase if someone is having a hard time establishing an ethernet connection. I was using my work laptop and the ethernet controller was set to static IP. I tried & tried for an hour and it I couldn't connect to the car.

Go to Control Panel > Networks and Internet > Network Connections. Right click on your ethernet controller & click Properties.

Make sure "Obtain IP Address Automatically" is selected.

Figured the above out, it enables Sport+ as an option.



Hey side question, is it just me or is it so hard to remove the coding cable from the car by hand I have to use pliers to rip it out with force???

is there an easy disconnect method I'm missing??
