Good day all!!

I found out that I have a trans gear selection wire that is not changing states once warm... Once I get to Drive, it faults the computer out...









Okay, I looked them up... The problem is that L1 is always "ON" and I know "D" should only have L4 "ON"...

This first one should be PARK... I pull actual readings from the x5 when it was working...



This second one is Reverse...



And this one is Neutral...



This one is Drive in a faulted state... Only L4 should be ON...



So, I guess I get to pull the pan again and take some readings... May have a chaffed wire... This is gonna be that fun gremlin to find...

Will keep yous posted...

Since I will be needing the wiring diagram to figure this part out, I figure I will add this info I got from WPOLL on a different thread... THANKS WPOLL!!!

This site will tell you where any electrical component is located: -

WDS BMW Wiring Diagram System - English

You'll need Java and Adobe SVG viewer but it's an amazing resource, with full component descriptions, locations and full circuit diagrams!
Oh, one more thing... I can't get the computer to talk to ANY module except the motor and trans, including the Air Suspension module... Frustrating!!!

Cheers for now!!
