e53 Vtg module - no comms - only 4x4 light

[ddrrift]

Ok so iv been trying to sort this for a while and am no further forward.

I bought this jeep blind for little money. The transfer case motor and resistor had been removed and were completely missing. The only light on the dash is the 4x4 light. ABS etc come on and off as they should, even when the motor and resistor were missing, i only had the 4x4 light on. I found this strange as i expected the trio to be on if the motor was disconnected. I have now replaced the motor and resistor but still cannot talk to the vtg module.

In BMWScanner it shows as 'not found' and DIS OR SSS cannot find it either.

I bought a replacement module, fitted it and still 'not found'

Anyone any ideas? I need to do the calibration badly!

I have power at the module so i can only assume that the CAN is down? Is there any other module that would cause no comms with the VTG module? Is it possible that the VTG has been coded out? or that a pre facelift abs module is fitted?


Help!
