You need a code EPS with Esys.

Hello,
I have same problem with my eps, i did all steps you show but the Detect CAF for SWE step i cant select it, its in shadow. Do you know what i did wrong. First time coding, thank you

 

Thanks

Will try this.

 

You need only VO EPS with your FA and everithing worked - tested on my Car 100% work dont need to flash ig but i suggest to flash it to have same I - level

 

Yeah, vo-coding the EPS should be enough. I once coded one replaced EPS and it worked straight after vo-coding. There is one thing, servotronic. It is adaptive power steering force, and it is produced via software on cars with EPS. You must install original EPS FSC code, if you can. Limiting factor is production date of this donor EPS (if it came from a car with servotronic fsc). If this donor EPS is without servotronic FSC, then you can install repair FSC. Also if donor is older than original, then you can install repair FSC. If donor EPS is newer, maybe it is easiest to just remove servotronic from FA and code EPS.

 

Thanks for the help. I got my EPS coded and everything is working great! :thumbup: to everyone who helped.
Now to off to ode other stuff to the car

 

Hi guys, my F10's rack is worn out and I've bought a used replacement.

I have ISTA-P + D running OK over eNet cable ... but I'm waiting for my E-Sys token to be activated (some time in the next 48 hours) - so I can't use that for the moment.

Can I use ISTA-P to code in the replacement rack instead of E-Sys ?

The plan is to check that I have a compatible rack by plugging in the replacement and coding it in - before fitting it.

Many thanks.

 

no token needed for this step you can do it now

 

Thankyou, SA.

:thumbup::thumbup:

I'll give it a whirl.

 

It turned out the PSZ data files were in the wrong location (garbled installation instructions).

So I've coded in E-sys to remember the last engine Start/Stop setting used.
And I've looked through some of the EPS FA settings - but I have no idea what to change to accommodate my (used) replacement rack !

Can it ALL be done in ISTA-P (rather than just the recalibratiion of the replacement rack) ?

Your kind help greatly appreciated.

 

I just re-read BMWzone's instructions - which I now understand, having used E-sys ... props and big thanks to you, BMWzone.

------------------

After connecting car with eNet : -

Expert Mode-Coding

Read FA

Activate FA

Read SVT

Select EPS ECU

Detect CAFD for SWE

Choose CAFD

Click Code

... and you'll finally be presented with a report in green font if coding was successful - or red if it wasn't.

The important thing when changing any rack is ensuring that the clock spring (which has an end-stop approx. 1.5 turns from centre in each direction) in the steering wheel remains in the centre position during operations.
Turning the steering wheel (unconstrained because it's disconnected from the rack) beyond the clock-spring's end-stop will break it.
The steering rack must also be in its centre position when re-mated to the steering column - or you risk breaking the clock-spring by taking it beyond its end-stop when turning the rack to full-lock.

 

Here's my old rack internals on video .... post-autopsy

 

I got this at the moment:

F31 Pre Facelift with a used EPS motor installed because the original motors plastic cover was damaged by an accident.
Injected a caf file and vo coded the EPS module. Power steering still not working and now this is happening when the engine is on:

Only way to stop this is by shutting the engine off.

Anyone an idea?

 

I recently installed used EPS on my car, but tried VO coding but fails.On diagnosing ISTA/D says there is no power to the module which i have checked to be false. Does it have anything to do with the used steering rack i bought, because the donor rack is a 2017 model while my car is 2012. Any info/help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Hi, im having this same issue, did you resolve it now ?

Is there power to the EPS?try turning the steering from right to left, if it turns freely fine, If not, check the B+ distribution box for broken fuse ? its on the passenger side of the engine compartment. The fuse to the EPS might be broken but there is a spare one in the same box. You will need to remove the cable supplying power to the EPS from the broken one to the spare. Also, ensure that all your power cables are well terminated. Finally you can get repair FSC code from user "acolt" for coding your new EPS with ISTA/P though you can still make use of the EPS without coding but you will always "drive rain malfunction" active while driving.

 

Check the link below to show you how the B+ distribution box looks like

I see ISTA-D ... but have you tried it with ISTA-P ? ... which offers you prompts to recode the ECU you choose.

eSys is a bit more hit and miss.

 

Thanks, i dont have ISTA-P, so cannot try it ,

Thanks again, will try to source for it

ISTA's not showing under his items for sale - but you can but ask.

Best is a clean install of Windows and a decent internet connection - then do a Windows image backup to a separate drive and you'll always have it for that laptop as a restorable backup.

 

Thanks, bro

To the same topic.
F45 donor EPS also requires only new CAFD and VO-coding to work again. Tested.

 

I also have to code an second hand eps unit but still waiting for the launcher activation code.
Does any one knows how long does it take to send the code? ask for activation on Friday

 

Dunno - but you can get everlasting eSys on Flebay for like £15 Ugandan.
All you have to do is remember not to let your clock pass the end of the year.

 

hey guys, will this work well?

I'm sure it would, although E-Sys and E-Sys Launcher PRO can both be had for Free, so I don't understand buying it.

 

perfect, thank you for your feedback! im still a little hesitant to purchase it

 

Hi! My F25 2010 have broken EPS,((( I finder good EPS, but this EPS 17MY... may be cleared old FSC EPS 2017, and set to virgin state? Or finding older 2010 EPS (very hard in normal satate) -> read FSC and wrifte FSC in replacement EPS? Or replace PCB in control module EPS on any good EPS?

 

FSC Code cannot be cleared from EPS. If your car requires EPS FSC Code, you must use an older Donor EPS, or one without EPS FSC Code.

 

Thanks! Yes, my car car requires EPS FSC Code (S216A Servotronic enabled) I have 2 varieties: purchase FSC code from dealer or read FSC from my old EPS, and coding new used EPS with E-Sys, but used EPS must be older my EPS....

 

One question: if purchase EPS with option S2VL, FSC code for added to FA options 2VL also required or not?

 

FSC not applicable for S2VL.
