Good day all!!

I am having an issue with the TCM that is connected to the valve body... I know there has been some debate as to what it is called... AGS/EGS... TCU... Anyway... I'm obviously talking about the Trans Control Module inside the trans, connected to the valve body... I am getting the range selection error fault that has plagued these TCM's for some time... So much so that there is a company in Bulgaria that fixes them for 300 to 400 Euro... HOWEVER, these modules are apart of a Bosch part that sit in nearly all six speed ZF transmissions from 02 and up Ford, Jag, VW, Audi and such... Of course the valve body's are going to be different... But, these should be the similar if they control like solenoids and such... I'm willing to do the experiment if I can figure out how to flash or reprogram the chip using whatever BMW software...

I do have an issue with communicating with the X5... INPA will only see the motor and trans modules... And the info from them is sketchy...

This is the only thing I got back from my read of the car...





All other modules had no communication... Frustrating cause my air ride is still inact...

Sooooo..... Still lots to work out here... Of course, any help from the amazing experts on here is always appreciated!!!

Cheers all!!!
