Hi,

I have two BMW X5 E70 3.0D LCI 2012 and 2012), both have the same fault code:
49A6 - LIN bus Communication fault

The first car (2011) had problems starting on cold morning, with lots of white smoke…
For this car i bought a new Beru glow plug module and fault was cleared 👍🏻

The second car (2012) has no problem on cold mornings, no white smoke…
On the second car I did the same procedure and fitted a new Beru Glow plug module, but the error won’t clear…(no other error codes on this car at all)
(Maybe it’s a faulty module…but it’s a brand new Beru GS108)

Has anyone had this fault and found any other solution than to replace the glow plug module? What was the problem?

Extra information:
In ISTA-D both the old and the new Glow Plug Module (in car 2012) reads:
Current status of preheating control
Reference field dependent glowing
Power consumption 6553.5W
