SSS/DIS
 

So guys i got dis sss from that Romanian guy the problem is DIS works like everything is smooth when i try to erase a code i get this error about some er check some. The other problem is SSS when it tries to connect to zke3 it says you need a edic/icon to connect to my thing. INPA works perfect everything works so i am guessing i m doing everything fine. Any help would be appreciated ? I just need to fix my sss bc i need to program something.

What DIS version do you have? IIRC, DIS v45 and higher cannot program/code only diagnose. Can it clear faults/codes though? I assumed not. Interesting.

I never got my SSS running (vmware version) and used with the DK (yellow) diagnostic head successfully. Supposedly "01 BMW_X5" was successful in getting it work though. Also, I think "rogerkiu" has SSS working but not sure if he uses the DK or the OPS head.

Ok to clarify things for you i got SSS running it is actually a very good program. I have DIS V57 so are u saying if go with DIS V44 i should be able to code with it. And yes dis 55 does let me read and clear codes. I have this weird problem with my x. The dsc light is on the 4x4 with the triangle it is giving me an error "Wipe blade 90 degree difference" cant figure out wat to do.

Okay, I've never used DIS v45 and higher but I was told those versions did NOT have program/coding capability. I just did not know that didn't mean it can't clear faults - as you have just indicated it can do.

Yes, DIS v44 and lower has coding/programming functions. I use DIS v43. For v45 and later, you have to use SSS(progman?) to code/program.

Okay, with the fault you should be able to run a test plan. Did your DIS v55/57? not have a test plan available? That doesn't sound right.

EDIT: To clarify, my posting about SSS was to inform you that I've never been able to successfully use SSS. One person indicated they were able to run it AND use the yellow diagnostic head to communicate/(assume program too) with the X. Also indicated another member has the GT1 but I don't know if he is successful and even don't know which diagnostic head he uses with SSS. I'm interested in knowing if BOTH can work or if only one was designed to be used for SSS. I don't know the answer.

Can you tell us what diagnostic head you use to connect to the X? Is it the yellow (DK), orange (OPS) or something else totally.

I am using and obd2 cable from ebay i bout it from an ebay seller for $30. It is one cable that work with everything the programs came preloaded no installation what so ever just straight up unpack and open. As you said test plan, i tried running it, i tried reprogramming the steering angle sensor with no luck, sometimes the error pops in in dsc sometimes in LWS. I just have 1 cable working for everything and everything works perfectly fine anyone needing help i can teamviewer and set up if necessary.

Would you mind posting a pic of your OBD2 cable?

Well, if the steering angle sensor can't be recalibrated (which is what I assume you were trying to do) then its probably bad and needs replacement. What did the error say when you tried recalibrating? Are you replacing the steering angle sensor or recalibrating?

Have you double-checked the wheel sensors? I assume the GT1 would have picked it up with the short test but can't hurt to check manually through the module functions.

Here is a picture of the obd head.

The error just kept coming back even if i delete them.

I see. You don't use the diagnostic heads at all - just straight to the OBD2 port with USB to the laptop I assume.

So, the error that keeps coming back when you delete. That's the error causing the 4x4 (DSC/xdrive) error? Can you take a pic of the DIS screen where you can see the fault. Also, a pic of the short test result where it shows the symptoms.

I'll try and see what I can find in the control modules section even though mine is a different version of DIS.

well yes i can just to tell you when i first got into DIS the error was coming up in the DSC module but after i deleted it, it started coming from LWS(Steering angle sensor). This week i will try to hook up my computer because i dont use a laptop to the thing and take pictures for you. Thank you for your helpful tips i will keep it updated once i have picture
