Rain Sensing Wipers

[flg8r90]

Don't mean to hijack the thread but what software are you using ? And where can I purchase the program and cable ?

Thanks

The intermittent wheel passed the test and as I turned it the wipers wiped once.




Afterwards the ! was present instead of the X. It said reinitialize and replace if the water did not cause function (I had no water) It never gave me a prompt to do the initialization.

I don't know the steps order but you should figure it out by playing with the Next arrow or going in Function selection...

I tried, eventually the arrow goes dark & function took me back out of that module.

I'll try again tonight.

Thanks

Tried again, seems closer but never allows me to shut off/restart.

What about if the error is highlighted and you select "control unit functions"? Anything able to be done there? It looks like the sensor has a problem but I don't know what it is.


And to the guy looking where to purchase the software/cable, search ebay for "bmw inpa cable" the package is $38 from Romania, "bmwfanatiq" was the guy I bought from.

I got mine same place, can't recommend him highly enough. Great seller.

I was able to get through the diagnosis, and to have it tell me to do what fmugur said but I don't see anywhere to do it. Clicking any of teh buttons on the bottom takes me back where I came from. There is a kind of schematic on the left pane of the diag and some components appear "clickable" but none labled as I was looking for & I am hesitant to mess with it.

The really odd thing is all my lights are fine & the AUC sensor works, I have repeatedly smelled an odor from outside for a second which goes away & comes back if I switch to recirculate.

at this point not being able to figure it out is aggravating me more than the sensor not working.

for the AC odor, just take a can of Lysol and spray the A/C intakes (I'm also assuming your cabin filter is fresh) by the wiper cowl, put the A/C on full blast and close the doors and let it circulate around the cabin a bit, should help.

Been doing this on my cars for years with no issues.

[e30cabrio]

I changed the filter when I got the car. The one I took out was pretty clean.

I mean when driving through a smelly area. The AUC sensor powers that second recirc circuit and switches to non recirc automatically.

My AC smells just great!

Thanks

4 more 30+ minute attempts cannot find terminal 15 and r. I have looked through sensors, control modules etc. Someone has to know where it is.
