How to remove the EHC module?

Any luck coding out the error? Or coding out the module altogether? Is the module something you can physically pull out?


BMW Scanner 1.4.0 finds a module called "Electronic Height Control" but there are no coding options. Can only read and write the raw hex. There were a couple other related errors like in the anti-lock brakes about the failure of the height system.



Running the scanner finds the modules that are installed and doesn't find the ones not installed. Which makes me believe it's possible for this one NOT to be installed. So are we talking a software module or an actual thing that can be pulled out somewhere?

One option is this module from Suncore that tricks the computer in to thinking everything is fine. I goes in place of the old EHCII module.

But I think I'd prefer to edit the VO and just have the truck know to not look for the air ride.



You know my philosophy. It's only money and you can't take it with you. Skip the Variant/GC setups and buy one of these for the e30 and the e53. Why decide?

I still have my module connected. I don't see an error anymore on the dash after installing the resler ibus interface. Unless I scan through the obc functions using the stalk. Then it will pop up. But if I scan the truck the ehc still reports all kinds of errors due to the missing equipment. Ultimately I want to get a laptop to edit the VO and then I can physically remove the ehcii module and not have ghost errors.
