How to VO Coding?

1. What I need? I have e-sys 3.22.5 (payed version) & 49.0
can make change vo with esys?

2. If VO coded... Can revert to Original VO?

Thanks...

1) You can use any version of E-Sys. You do not need a Patch or Token for VO Coding, only FDL Coding.

2) You can change your VO, VO Code, and change the VO back to original and VO Code it again. To change your VO, read this:

3) To VO Code:

Connect => Read FA => Activate FA => Read VCM => Right-Click on ECU (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

Is there anywhere all this is explained i.e. what does and does not require a patch/token? what is FDL?

 

Yes. Straight from the E-Sys Help File:

FDL:

"A function data list is in principle a CAF (Coding Application File) which is aggregated with the data residing actually in the ECU.

A CAF exists prior to ECU coding as data record. But a FDL is generated by readout of data from a ECU and the input of the result in the corresponding CAF."

EST:

"The EST is needed to open the modules CAF-Viewer, FDL-Editor, and Coding-Verification. An EST with role ADVANCED is needed to code FDLs."

 

THanks...!

 

Shawn,

Here's what I've done so far. While not connected to my car:

• I loaded in my PC my latest FA file into E-Sys
• Using FA Editor, I opened this FA file
• Clicked on FA Zuftragung (spelling) & Type SALAPA
• Then I entered the proper option codes in alphanumeric order, separating each entry by a comma (and no space) -- BTW, I used TokenMaster's new tool to confirm these option codes
• Verified edited FA by selecting calculate FP and had no errors
• I then saved this FA file with a new name

Over the weekend, will connect to my car:

• Will read in this FA file
• Activate this edited FA
• Click on Read SVT(...
• Right click on the affected ECUs (again, TokenMaster's new tool helped me ID these)
• Select CODE
• Repeat for affected ECU

Have I done or will do something incorrectly or omitted anything?

 

That looks correct.

 

Thanks! !

Shawn,

For various reasons, never got around to doing the VO coding, but will finally get to it in next day or so.

I am VO coding to add three options: PDCs (front & rear) (508); rear camera (3AG); and side cameras (5DK). Have added these to a VO that I did on my PC while not connected to car.

Using TokenMasters CAFD/NCD tool, seems like there are only three ECUs affected: HU_NBT; REM; and ICMQL.

I have two remaining questions before I do this:

• First, how does the TRSV module get coded since it is not currently in my SVT? Will it appear after VO coding and do I VO Code it as well as the other three?
• Is there anything else that I ought to do, perhaps another ECU?

Again, thank you for your super help!

 

CAFD/NCD tool is Great, but it isn't perfect. Both 3AG and 5DK require VO Coding TRSVC too.

TRSVC should appear after Rear Camera is installed, FA Codes are added, and you Read SVT with E-Sys. If it does not, try Read ECU instead of Read SVT.

 

Your reply helped me figure out why TRSV doesn't show up yet -- it is not connected yet as current REM doesn't have connectors for PDCs. Before I VO code, I'll put in new REM with needed connectors so TRSV should show up; then use new VO (with 3 new options).

After I do Vehicle Order: Read, the Edit button is greyed out so I cannot edit. What am I doing wrong? Trying to VO code the ASS & seatbelt reminders off.

E-Sys 3.24.3
v.55.1_PSdZData_Lite
I-Step: F010-15-03-502

Thanks.

 

Save FA first, then you can Edit it.

 

I got a question on the e-sys program. I see that it also use psdzdata lite and full version. Can I use the psdzdata full version from ISTA on e-sys program? Are they the same ?

 

Same. E-Sys PSdZData is ripped from ISTA.

 

Hi Shawn
I think I screwed up something using the E-sys software. Do you have the FA file for 2011 F10 535i?
I got the Chassis Stabilization Malfunction error every time when I start the car, I can't switch to sport , sport +mode. Then last night when I tried using this e-sys program, I went to DSC (screen shot) and using the FA file that came with the program it saids FA Sample or something.
I select F010 and it shows active. Then i went to DSC section, right click the CAFD and coded it. When it starts writing the code, I got the ABS error
Instead of trying to fix it, I rather wait cause I have no idea I what was doing lol. I just want to fix the problem.

Or I should right click on DSC to code the whole section? Any help will be great. Shy

Right now lots of errors on dash. Thanks god car still drivable. I am so lost now.

You are supposed to use FA read from car, not FA Sample.

Read FA from car and VO Code DSC:

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read (ECU) => Right-Click on DSC (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

Oh I am doing it wrong then. So when I get home tonight. First I connect the e-sys then read FA.
do I need to use the full version of PSdZData or I can still use the Lite version to fix the problems?

Do you know if this e-sys program can fix my Chassis Stabilization Malfunction error ?

Cause I don't know if the Chassis Stabilization is under which module. Is there a cheat sheet I can find out what is for DME , DSC, EGS....etc.

Any help will be great.

Thanks Shawn

 

Shawn I can't get it to work

If I click on DSC, I see Detect CAF for SWE , click on it then I got this error
When I try another one like DME, EGS, click on Detect CAF for SWE, I can open it and see a list of file.
So is my DSC broke? Is there a way I can restore it?
I mean restore the whole thing as default ?

 

Why do you insist on injecting CAFD into DSC?

Is CAFD missing? No. Is CAFD corrupt? No. So Why????

Where is EGS CAFD?

 

Since I am not sure exactly what I am doing. Can I just click on anyone of them like EGS and do Detect CAF for SWE . Once I see the list, I select the very bottom one and code it ?

 

I am not sure if your EGS needs CAFD or not. Not all do. You can try and inject CAFD into it and see if it works. If it does not, leave it alone.

 

ok Shawn thanks. 😯

 

I found a zip file SDP_4.31.21 I think this one has the full psdzdata

 

Yes, it does.

 

Hi Shawn, quick question on this steps Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read (ECU) => Right-Click on DSC (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

So After Activate FA , then Read (ECU) right. what is read (SVT) ? What is the difference ?

 

Use Read (ECU) as I wrote.

 

Hi Shawn, I just notice one problem. Before I continue I wanna consult you first. This might be my big mistake from the beginning.

When I installed the e-sys program.. Run it, I click on read FA (VO). The program came with FA file named FAListSample and I ran that file. then coded with it. I just opened the file and see it is for F001 bmw ?
Here is the file

FaListSample.xml | Powered by Box

app.box.com

My file should be F010 right Cause its 2011 F10 535i

Is there a way I can get the factory FA file which is for my car? VIN WBAFR7C59BC608288

Cause I remember once I click Active with that FAListsample file and coded it. I got more errors on the dash.

All CAFD file shows F001

 

Read FA from car, hit Save and then Edit. Do you see your VIN? If so, it's your FA. Activate it and VO Code with it.

And make sure your Connection Target is F010, not F001.

 

or this one ?

 

Click on the Master Tab and then Read ISteps.

 

sorry shawn, i dont know which is master tab, but i-step shows f001

 

 

Looks good. Read FA and VO Code it.

 

i just coded this and my date time running light are off 😢
right side window now can't close it

how to roll back?

 

Unless your FA has been modified, this is correct Coding. If dealer programmed car with ISTA, this is what you would get.

 

Do you think I need the FA file from factory?

 

Morning Shawn. Got an error when reading the FA you sent me.

 

Change your time criterium to 0910 and you are missing 8SC in salapa
3.4 KB file on MEGA

 

Shawn, please forgive my ignorance. I am old lol. How do I change the time criterium to 0910?
is it from the e-sys program?

The file you just sent me has the 8SC ? I just need to load it in FA right?

 

See in my preview post and download file

 

Thanks
