Coding out annoying errors
 
Does anyone know of a good how to or paid coding service to remove errors? Ive had enough of seeing my parking brake malfunction light on. Ive gotten a new unit, Switch, checked fuses and still cant solve it. Only thing to do is to try and update software but that would wipe my tune. I figure this way I'd have results for sure. I recall bimmeroem.com had a service but don't see them around anymore.
Any help is appreciated

Coding out what could be a critical system warning? I'm sure it's possible but what company would invest in such a service that a litigious society or government wouldn't enjoy destroying?

Could try bimecu.com I know he does some higher level coding stuff.

Same ones that bypass egr urea systems id assume

Probably not. In fact, most assuredly not. To equate a parking brake to an EGR or NOx reduction system is simplistic at best. Does your parking brake even work? Have you performed any troubleshooting? I mean, besides throwing parts at it.

What error codes are showing when scanned?

AlpineD 06-28-2019 01:00 AM

Plenty of trouble shooting just kind of fed up with it, believe me it wasnt fun getting a new actuator. But any guidance will be appreciated maybe something ive missed

AlpineD 06-28-2019 01:05 AM

I dont believe even the new actuator is working and a steady parking brake malfunction light is on. Ive swapped switches, checked fuses as well as connector to the acutator all with no success. Some troubleshooting on bmw software to no avail

absentmathis 06-28-2019 01:36 AM

What part are you calling the actuator? The cables are more prone to failure than the module itself.

AlpineD 06-28-2019 12:28 PM

The actuator is essentially the whole module, ive never heard of the cabels breaking or do u mean the harness?

absentmathis 06-29-2019 07:47 PM

Can’t speak for all models, but on my car there are cables (maybe what you’re calling harness, sort of like bike brake cables) that run from the actuator to each brake assembly. One of mine broke which caused the fault.

Wow I've never seen those break but no those steel cables are intact, my error is present ss soon as the key is near the car before i would even use the parking brake so that would lead me to assume its electronical/programing

It could be a module; I don't know which one but I'd guess the FRM which has its issues. Maybe the JBE module? Then there's the EMF module itself. You've replaced the actuator, I gather, but not the EMF module? Then I'm thinking of all the interconnecting wiring. I get the frustration. I troubleshot a PDC error that ultimately turned out to be chafed wiring. That took some time to find.

Put the car in workshop mode and it went away hoping it stays lol. Clearing it would cause it to return immediately

That’s not how it works. Did you code the new module to your car? How do you know you don’t ha e a broken cable?

AlpineD 07-06-2019 01:41 AM

I know due to not having broken bowden cables before and after i switched the parking brake module plus new cables, as for the programing i did it through nscs but i will be running an series of electrical tests between the parking brake switch and module harness
