(Solved) Transmission Failsafe Mode

[TheFixer]

So, a couple months ago I bought a pretty junky e53. The main problem was the transmission was in failsafe mode and there was codes for egs not found, egs signal line disturbed, egs timeout.

Solved the problem today and fixed it. This isn't related to the egs at all, but it was from the pre cat o2 sensor wires shorting out and blowing a 30 amp fuse that controls the power to the egs.

Fixed my wires and replaced the fuse. I now have a working transmission.

What is strange to me is I checked those fuses that are next to the ecu and egs and I was certain they were fine. But somehow I missed one.

I only caught this because I was trying to troubleshoot the o2 sensor problems today.
