All BMWs Using ESYS --- Issues and Solutions

List of problems you may encounter and solutions to fix them


1) Problem:

When i choose "Read Coding Data" I get this error:

Transaktions-Report: Aktion: Codierdaten lesen

CAS [40] [C271460]
readCPS o.k.
cafd_0000000f-005_022_007 Fehler:
File for "cafd_0000000f-005_022_007" not found! [C012]

Solution:

Make Sure you have copied the SWE contents from PSDZData/SWE to C:/EsysData/SWE (You should have it in both the locations)



2) Problem:

I open E-Sys and when I hit connect get the pop up which has my VIN next to that radio buttion, but nothing shows up in the Target box.


Solution:

More than likely the "dist" folders missing from your installation. The folders should be empty, but they need to be there:
and make sure the folder names/directory is correct.

OR, you could have followed the EXACT letter of Shawn's instructions and created:

C:\ESysData\psdzdata\folders_1-7\ for the vehicle data...

Yes I put everything into the "folders_1-7" folder

I didn't get it until I looked at the path in the referenced post.

But I fixed it and did a test code with the L7 slider thing which is now on my F07 so I'm offically off and coding.

DreamCar,

You've been connected to your car for too long.

He created a folder called "folders_1-7" and put the data in there. Just like the instructions said. Then he looked at the directory structure and had one of the "Oh!" moments.

dmunz, we've all be there and had one of THOSE moments. Glad you worked it out.

Oh thats classic.... thats reminds me of a saying Mukki to Mukki

I downloaded all the files and installed. Copied SWE files to correct locations. I opened the options and pointed to the EST file location.

I can connect okay but when I try to read vehicle info I get the following errors:



Close it and get this one:



When I try to read VCM I get this error:



Please help.

Make sure your car's Ignition is turned on. Otherwise you'll get all kinds of Ethernet errors.

Ignition was on but not started. I just hit the start button once without my foot on the brake. Also, I don't know where the PIN number comes into the procedure. I find it odd that a PIN is provided but I haven't run into where to input it.

You have to hit twice and instrument cluster should be active during coding.

I will try tomorrow. Thanks, Kevin

I think I got the similar/same error couple of times as other have suggested just disconnect and reconnect again.

Let me add this to our list.

Thanks! I haven't been able to spend much time with this because of work. I appreciate everyone's willingness to help.

I followed ShawnSheridan's instruction and connected to the ECM the first time...with my homemade cable.
"WHEN EVERTHING ELSE FAILS, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS..."

I got it to connect and read today. I disabled my wireless and reconnected to my X3. Everything worked after that but I'm not quite sure if disabling the wireless was the fix or just using "repair" to reconnect to the X3. No changes made to my F25 X3 but I will do more when I have time. I had a tough time trying to find what I wanted to change but I was in a hurry due to lack of time.


Thanks for all the suggestions.

Kevin

Just took delivery of a brand new 2012 f10 535i yesterday. Went to code it because i had the cable, software, etc waiting. Could only read some modules.... (FRM, CAS, KOMBI) were ok. HU_CIC and JBBF gave me the error listed above when i tried to read them. I am running 3.18 with the EST token and 46.3 data. Checked that all the proper files were in the correct folders and still can't read HU_CIC, JBBF. Any ideas? Maybe my car has newest software and needs 3.20/3.22? Thanks for any help

esys version shouldnt be a problem.

what version of data files do you have in your esys? i am guessing you have have higher version CAF files in your car than the one you have on your laptop

did you retry? diconecting and connecting?

Thanks for the reply. I'm running 46.3 data files.

I tried copying over the data files and SWE content and also tried disconnecting/connecting... no luck.

I am running the latest Data files correct? unless i'm missing a newer version somewhere.

46.3 is the latest i know...

Just curious what is your production date

05-2012 is the build date.

Like i said, strange how i can code windows/mirrors/digital speedo, but not idrive accept screen etc. I figured 46.3 was latest, unless there's a new one out we aren't aware of yet.

subscribed to this issue that nj323ci is dealing with. So basically you cant even code VIM We need to know anyone with 5/12 or newer build has this issue too.

That's right. Cannot code VIM or rear windows auto up with door open. Those 2 modules I cannot read from and give me the error above. Frm, kombi CAS I can read and code fine.

Strange indeed

I'm not the only one with this issue.... same build date as me, 05-2012. Check this link out:

Oh. Lol. Ok. Thanks
Seems like there is a 46.5 and 46.6 version out there. That might be the solution to my problem. Anyone have access to the newer data files? I can test it ASAP!
