EHC Module

Well, after an exhaustive three weeks and visits to multiple shops we have FINALLY figured out what the issue is with the SLS. I found a guy in town that has all of the stuff to work on and diagnose issues with BMW. He started with the Fuses, all good. Next up was the checking out the connections to the pump and other places. Everything seemed to be good. Hooked it up to the computer and immediately pulled the pump apart. He was able to "Jump" two connections to each other after pulling the EHC module in which the pump started running and raising the vehicle.

When he pulled the Module out of the vehicle it was extremely warm and had a burning smell to it. Ordered a new one that will be here tomorrow. I have to pick it up from a dealer but oh well. Problem solved and fixed - Hopefully.

The ride is so much better now with the car raised and my trip to the dentist for preventative maintenance has been postponed. Everyone having problems with this system should find a shop that will really take the time to diagnose the issue from start to finish. It only took and hour to get to the problem. He said every time he has dealt with this issue, it has usually been the Module which in my car (03 X5 4.4) is next to the battery in the back of the vehicle. You have to remove the pump and the braces first to get to it. Next you will remove three Phillips head screws to get to the module. Don't let dealers and other shops give you the run around.

Hope this helps.
