This, or JBE on the passenger side. I bought a non-running 2007 4.8 and one of the pins that supplied power to the valvetronic modules had broken off due to corrosion. Mine was easy to troubleshoot since the modules didn't respond to ISTA and I found they had no power.

Thanks for the replies.
While I do own 3 BMWs, I am not up to speed on the forum acronyms.

Can you elaborate on FRM and JBE please?

Doing a search of FRM on the forum search comes back with nothing.

As you've discovered, using the site Search doesn't work well for short words. For FRM, use this in your search engine of choice:

frm site:xoutpost.com

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...3Axoutpost.com

Don't use the forum search at all. Google search the site as described above.

Nice the battery safety charge was an easy remedy. As others have pointed out, time to start looking for corrosion or water intrusion. Agree with Ard. Not likely a corrupt DME issue.
