Do you have multiple sas modules? Most common reason no connect is trying to use a module your car didn't have

modules
Thanks for the reply. There seem to be 2 for the SAS-LEW and LES if I remember correctly. Neither one will connect for some reason. Everyone raves about the Foxwell. I am not "raving" yet. Time will tell.

Use auto scan to discover available modules. I can't get into any of the abs modules listed from "control units" only from "service" but i can control abs from there (just kicked on my left front abs). I could read live data for my steering sensor from both options in manual control units and also from auto scan. You may have a hardware problem that the car can't "see" the angle sensor. That will of course trip the trifecta

NICE. So are we saying that itty bitty foxwell will let you do a full brake flush, including activating the abs ?

Oh yes hence the "rave" mentioned earlier. It's slow and cumbersome at times but has five what I needed for 1/3 the price of the next best babe for buck.
Feels like it was written in DOS the interface is terrible but it will get the job done I even bumped my idle up a bit to run smoother at red lights.

Activation of components is also a huge win: wondering if your aux fan is defective, or the system that controls it? Command the fan on. Or ac blower or tailgate release etc.

What model Foxwell do you have? I have two; a small one that only reads the general OBDII codes and an NT510 which goes into the BMW propietary codes. If you have a 510 or similar, does it have the BMW module?

Are you testing with key in the correct position?

A 'generic' code reader is a valuable tool no doubt, but it is no match for ISTA/D. Why not buy a $10 ebay cable? Often times they come with the software.
You will need to solder some pins, but I can definitely confirm it works! https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...ml#post1135510 Then diagnosis is easy peasy - just read the live data coming out of your ABS sensors, roll/yaw sensors, steering angle sensors. If one or more of them don't agree with reality, you know where to start. PM me if you need help. |
