ever read a bentley manual?

 

I haven't been able to find the Transmission codes for the GS8.60.4 ECU, which is mainly why I opened this thread.
But I couldn't find the codes for the "steering angle sensor" either, nor for many of the other ECUs in my E39 (for example, the Bosch ABS ECU).

Of course I had first looked in the paper Bentleys & in the P1xxx thread BEFORE I posted.

Volume One of my Bentley is titled "Mechanical" while Volume Two is "Electrical" (which is 3/4 electrical diagrams and about 1/4 other stuff).
Looking in volume 1, the last 100 pages, after page 721-12 (Airbag System) are titled "OBD On-Board Diagnostics", spanning from page OBD-1 to page OBD-104.

My transmission ZF 5HP 19 & engine M54 and date mean my stuff is on page OBD-26.
The only things listed are these, which aren't at all what I'm seeking.

That's it.

1. Notice that's not even a full list of OBD codes
2. It doesn't include the full list of transmission codes
3. And it doesn't include the full list of DSC codes
4. Nor the codes for any of the other dozen-odd ECUs

I haven't been able to find the Transmission codes for the GS8604 ECU, which is mainly why I opened this thread.

I found elsewhere on line the Bosch DSC 5.7 ECU codes.

But even that Bosch reference didn't cover the codes from the other ECUs, like the transmission or steering angle sensor unit.

Just as an aside, the codes I have gotten with INPA in the past few days are:

• 49 Symptom Gangueberwachung [GS8604 ECU]
• 54 Gangueberwachung 4 [GS8604 ECU]
• 53 Gangueberwachung 3 [GS8604 ECU]
• 65 Gangueberwachung 4 [GS8604 ECU]
• 33 Drehzahlgeber Turbine [GS8604 ECU]
• 104 Fehler Lenkwinkel Steuergeraet [DSC57 ECU]
• 227 Lamdareglerabweichung Bank 1 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 228 Lambdareglerabweichung Bank 2 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 168 Thermostat klemmt offen [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 242 Verbrennungsaussetzer Zylinder 5 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 246 Verbrennungsaussetzer Zylinder 6 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 241 Verbrennungsaussetzer Zylinder 4 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 203 Lambdaregelgrenze Bank2 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 202 Lambdaregelgrenze Bank1 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 9 keine ASC2-Botschaft [LWS5_1B ECU]
• 16 Watchdog [LWS5_1B ECU]
• 1 Klemme 30 fehlerhaft [LWS5_1B ECU]
• 11 LWS-ID falsch [LWS5_1B ECU]
• 90 Grad-Differenz der Schleifer zu gross (Abgleichbetrieb) [LWS5_1B ECU]
• 227 Lamdareglerabweichung Bank 1 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 228 Lambdareglerabweichung Bank 2 [MS430DS0 ECU]

After saving those codes, and looking them up (finding most of the engine codes online), and then clearing those codes, these are all that remain:

• 227 Lamdareglerabweichung Bank 1 [MS430DS0 ECU]
• 228 Lambdareglerabweichung Bank 2 [MS430DS0 ECU]

In a PM, RDL kindly informed me that EasyDIS would give more information than INPA, because a BMW 227/228 can mean MULTIPLE things:
DTC FC Description

• P0171 227 System Too Lean (Bank 1)
• P0172 227 System Too Rich (Bank 1)
• P1314 227 Fuel Mixture Deviation Detected with Low Fuel
• ...
• P0174 228 System Too Lean (Bank 2)
• P0175 228 System Too Rich (Bank 2)
• P1314 228 Fuel Mixture Deviation Detected with Low Fuel

The great news is that I already found what seems like a good source for the Bosch DSC codes, so mainly what's missing are the ZF (GS 8604 ECU) transmission codes and the rest of the engine ecu codes, and the codes for all the other ECU modules:

• Engine (MS 43.0 for M54)
• Transmission (GS8.xx / GS 20)
• Chassis (ABS5 ASC5 DSC5 DSC3)
• Chassis (Steering angle sensor)
• Body (Airbag)
• Body (Electronic vehicle immobilization EWS)
• Body (Remote controls)
• Body (Trunk lid module)
• Body (Air conditioning)
• Body (Instrument cluster KOMBI / IKE)
• Body (Light and check module LCM)
• Body (Multi functional steering wheel MFL)
• Body (Middle console center switch)
• Body (Cruise control GR2)
• Body (Central body electronics ZKE3)
• Communication (Multi functional display MID (ZIS))

I realize this is a question that nobody yet knows the answer to - but maybe someone has done the research already (which will save all of us the effort)?
Does anyone know where the transmission code reference is?

 

You can find the comprehensive list, which include cross-references between BMW Fault Codes and DTCs in the "best links" thread listed as a sticky on page 1 of this forum

Post #21 of this thread also has a link to the cross reference
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5751833#post5751833

EDIT: the link noted above lists engine and transmission fault codes and DTC. There are similar lists of ABS/DTC around (I don't have links handy) and perhaps someone will have those bookmarked and can post them.

I've never seen a car wide comprehensive list including modules such as GM, LCM, IHKA, etc.

Thanks. I appreciate that you understood the question because it's a hard one!
And it might never have been asked before.

You probably didn't notice but the best links first page doesn't seem to work (it times out for me). This is the bestlinks page 1 which doesn't work for me (and never has worked).

I realize you're trying to help so it's my fault for not pointing out that I linked to the thread you referenced when I created the opening post, and, inside that thread I even ADDED, earlier this week, all the Bosch DSC codes (which weren't in there) for all the Bosch modules.

So I KNOW the transmission codes aren't in that thread.
The other ECU codes aren't in that thread either.
And they're not in the Bentley manuals.

I read that thread last week and ADDED information to it that was missing (see the ABS ECU codes I posted a few days ago).

That thread doesn't have anything more than what is in the Bentleys which isn't anywhere near the answer to the question.

Specifically, the TRANSMISSION codes are mainly what I'm looking for.
I seem to be the first person asking for this - so I didn't expect the answer to be easy.

I've never seen a car wide comprehensive list including modules such as GM, LCM, IHKA, etc.

Exactly why I opened this thread.
There are about a dozen ECUs, each of which have their own codes.

Maybe I will find them, maybe not.

If I do find them for my dozen or so ECUs, I'll post them here.

• Engine (MS 43.0 for M54)
• Transmission (GS8.xx / GS 20)
• Chassis (ABS5 ASC5 DSC5 DSC3)
• Chassis (Steering angle sensor)
• Body (Airbag)
• Body (Electronic vehicle immobilization EWS)
• Body (Remote controls)
• Body (Trunk lid module)
• Body (Air conditioning)
• Body (Instrument cluster KOMBI / IKE)
• Body (Light and check module LCM)
• Body (Multi functional steering wheel MFL)
• Body (Middle console center switch)
• Body (Cruise control GR2)
• Body (Central body electronics ZKE3)
• Communication (Multi functional display MID (ZIS))

 

I just tried & the best links work fine for me; the page is complete ~1 second after the click.

GS 8.60.4 fault codes are found on pages 42 to 44 of the BMW-Pcodes PDF I linked for you earlier.

Codes for engine control module for I6 engines that probably match up with the GS 8.60.4 (i.e. ZF 5HP19) transmission start on page 157.

Thanks for testing. I'll try a different browser. I also have my CP set to 80 posts per page.

I think the lists seem to be incomplete.
For example, I received transmission code 49 and 65 which are NOT in the transmission ECU list presented.

Here are just 20 of the codes I got out of INPA.

1. Transmission ECU=8604 Code=33 Drehzahlgeber Turbine (Google translate: Speed sensor turbine)

20. Body ECU=MRS4 Code=80 Versorgungsspannung (Google translate: supply voltage)

GS 8.60.4 fault codes are found on pages 42 to 44 of the BMW-Pcodes PDF I linked for you earlier.

I missed them then. I apologize. Will look again!
The PDF document is 220 pages.
Going to page 43 I find my GS 8.60.4 ECU by date.

The errors 49 and 65 aren't in that list, but the rest are.

RDL - Is my understanding correct that each ECU has its own set of BMW codes?

For example, if the Bosch DSC57 ECU has a code of 44 meaning x, can the Engine MS43DS0 ECU also simultaneously have a code of 44 meaning y?

If that is correct, does that imply that two different ECUs in a vehicle can both have the same code NUMBER but the number means different things depending on which ECU it came from?

If the numbers aren't unique to the vehicle - but just unique to the ECU - then we have to find all the codes for all the ECUs.

I think I found a good set of the ABS/DSC/ASC ECUs in these threads.
Do you have a better list of the codes for the DSC/ASC/ABS ECU?

Attached is a text compilation I made out of the following lists.
(Download the file and change the *.pdf to *.txt.)

• List of the Fault Codes for the Bosch ABS/DSC Module
• Bosch ABS fault codes
• Bosch error codes
• DIY ABS BRAKE DSC lights on (ABS Module & Wheel Sensor Test & Replace)
• DSC BRAKE ABS lights on => Diagnostic Procedure & Parts Location

 

RDL - Is my understanding correct that each ECU has its own set of BMW codes?

Yes

For example, if the Bosch DSC57 ECU has a code of 44 meaning x, can the Engine MS43DS0 ECU also simultaneously have a code of 44 meaning y?

Yes

If that is correct, does that imply that two different ECUs in a vehicle can both have the same code NUMBER but the number means different things depending on which ECU it came from?

Yes. Although the scanner should always list the module in which the fault code was found, which removes the ambiguity.

If the numbers aren't unique to the vehicle - but just unique to the ECU - then we have to find all the codes for all the ECUs.

I think that doesn't follow. The scanner should have a look-up table so that that the fault code from that module will display a text description of the fault applicable to the module in question.

Or in the case of hand held scanners listing only module & fault code #, a printed list pointing to the applicable description. This is especially important since I understand that some aftermarket hand held scanner report the fault code in hex rather than decimal. And that could lead to real confusion if for example scanner reported fault code as 03 hex (which would be 48 decimal) and the generic lookup list one happened to refer to was decimal with an entry of 3 for an entirely different fault. Or vice versa.

I think I found a good set of the ABS/DSC/ASC ECUs in these threads.
Do you have a better list of the codes for the DSC/ASC/ABS ECU?

No I don't

...

BTW, using ECU as an acronym for "electronic control unit" will lead to confusion. ECU is generally understood as "engine control unit"

I notice in other of your posts you quote your INPA results with German descriptions. INPA can provide English, in which case you would at least have BMW's translation to English which is likely to be more accurate than a generic Google translation, especially if some BMW abbreviations are used. I'm not sure if language is fixed at INPA installation or if it can be changed afterward. Try this forum for help with that.

I did find GS 8.60.4 fault code 65 on page 44 for a date range after yours.
P1732 65 Gear Monitoring 4 at Electrical Substitute Program
It probably applies to your transmission, but no guarantees.

I don't find fault code 49 though.

 

I think it could be as complicated as every module having its own codes.

If that's true, then it means that there can be a BMW code 22 in my MS430DS0 engine ECU and a BMW code 22 in my GS8604 transmission ECU and a BMW code 22 in my DSC57 chassis ECU and a BMW code 22 in my LWS5_1B chassic ECU and a BMW code 22 in my MRS4 body ECU and a BMW code 22 in my ZIS communication ECU - all meaning different things.

So what we need is a list of all the modules in the E39 and all those module's BMW codes.
I haven't found that yet but I did find just now this nice list of BMW modules and then the codes specific to each module.

BMW DME M1.1, M1.2, and M1.3
The BMW DME M1.1 (and similar, 1.2 and 1.3) is an early Bosch Motronic ECU, used on all of the 6 Cylinder BMWs up until 1990, and a few more after that. M1.1 and M1.3 was used on the M20, M30 and M40 engines, whilst M1.2 was used on the S38 and M70, which are the early E34 M5 engines and the early V12s.

BMW DME M1.7, M1.7.1, M1.7.2, M3.1 and M3.3
The Motronic 1.7 and subfamilies, and the M3 and it's variants are the next generation of BMW ECUs. The M1.7 was used on the M40, M42 and M70, the M1.7.1 was used solely for the S70, used in the BMW 850CSi. M1.7.2 was used for the M42 and M43 4 Cylinders. The M3.1 is a 6cyl ECU, used on the early M50 24v engines without VANOS. The M3.3 family were used to run the later 3.8 litre S38b38, the S50 3.0 M3, and the M60 V8s. M3.3.1 included VANOS control, and is used on M50 engines with VANOS, introduced to the E34 and E36 in 1992.

BMW MS40
MS40 was a new ECU for BMW, manufactured by Siemens instead of the previous Bosch Motronics. BMW split the M50 24v engines and used Siemens for some of the 2.0 litres, and Bosch continued on with the 2.5l. MS40.0 is a rare ECU used on non VANOS 2.0l, and MS40.1 introduced VANOS control.

MS41, MS42 and MS43
The next generation Siemens MS ECUs introduced many of the OBD2 features. This includes Catalytic Converter monitoring and Long / Short term Fueling and Ignition Adaptation. The MS41 was used on the M52 series of engines, MS42 on the M52TU series, and MS43 on the M43 4 Cylinders. The OBD2 P codes fault protocol was not activated in European markets on this group, as currently it was not required by law.

MSS50
The MSS50 is a special ECU designed solely for the European E36 M3 3.2. Designed by Siemens, it integrates full Vanos control for both Intake and Exhaust Cams inside a single ECU, unlike the previous M3.3 which required a separate VNC Vanos Controller

MSS52 and MSS54
The MSS52 is an M Power ECU designed to run the E39 M5, the Z8 Roadster, and also the Wiesmann Roadsters. The MSS54 is used on the E46 M3 and on some Z3Ms. The system uses an Electronic Throttle to accurately control Air intake instead of the more common Cable throttles used on earlier vehicles

DME M5.2 and M5.2.1
DME M5.2 and M5.2.1 are Bosch ECUs, used on the M44 4cyl engine, and the M62 V8, and the M72 V12

BMS43 and BMS46
The Bosch BMS46 is a Hybrid ECU, created from a joint effort with Siemens, and is used in later M43 engines used in the Z3 and E46 series.

DME 7.2
The Bosch DME 7.2, also known as ME7.2, can be found on a number of V8 Petrol engines, used in the 5 and 7 Series amongst others. It uses Torque modeling to control the engine torque output depending on Throttle Pedal Position.

DME 9
DME 9 or ME9 is used on Valvetronic BMW engines. Valvetronic removes the need for a throttle butterfly, passing air control directly onto fully controlable valves.

DDE 1
The first series of Diesel engines used the DDE1 control unit, and was found in the M21 powered E30 324d and td, and the E28 524d and 524td. It also found its way into a few rare Lincoln Continentals.

DDE 2 and DDE 2.1
DDE stands for Digital Diesel Electronics, and these were used on BMW's Diesel engines. DDE2 is used on M41 and M51 engines. DDE 2.1 uses an updated Air Mass Meter with an Internal Air Temperature Sensor, whilst DDE2 has a separate sensor in the manifold.

DDE 2.2
This is an Updated version of the previous DDE 2.1, and was introduced in 1995. This system was used on the M51TU engines.

DDE 3
DDE 3 is the BMW name for the ECUs used on the M47 range on Diesel engines, also known as he Bosch EDC15. These are 4 Cylinder diesels, used in the E46 320d, and uses Common Rail Injection. Common Rail systems use a high pressure fuel rail with diesel injectors, as opposed to the mechanical injection systems, or the PD (Pumpe Düse) system where each injector also acts as a high pressure pump.

DDE 4 and DDE 4.1
DDE4 is another Common Rail system, using the EDC15 range of Bosch ECUs. DDE4 is seen in the M57 range of 6 Cylinder engines, from 2.5 to 3.0l displacement, and the DDE4.1 was used in a twin Master / Slave arrangement in the M67 V8 diesels, with each ECU controlling one bank of the engine.

DDE 5, DDE 6, DDE 6.2 and DDE 6.3
DDE5 is another update to the M57 and M67 diesel engine control range. DDE5 is a second generation Common rail system with Rail pressures increasing from 1350bar in DDE4 to an amazing 1600bar, and is also known as Bosch EDC16, and complies with the European EU3 emissions standard. DDE 6 is used on M57 and M67 engines from 2005, using the same 1600 bar Common Rail System, and now meeting the European EU4 emissions standard.

ABS 1 Teves
The first BMW ABS system, This was a 3 channel system, controlling braking to the front wheels, and a single line for both rear wheels. The wheel speed info could be passed via data lines to traction control systems, which could determine if the vehicle speed signal given from the rear driven axle did not match with the front wheel speed signals and request torque reduction intervention from the ASC (Anti Skid Control) throttle body.

ABS 2 Teves
The updated version of BMW's ABS system, this was more advanced. Improvements include a 4 channel system for independent rear wheel braking, which allowed a more active ASC system. With individual braking, not only could a torque reduction be requested via the ASC secondary throttle body, but independent wheel braking could be used to control individual wheel slip as part of a stability program.

ABS 3 / DSC
The ABS 3 system added yet more features to the previous systems, such as individual wheel speed comparison over long terms. Gathering the wheel rotation data, and comparing it is accurate enough to identify differences in tyre tread wear, but its main use was as part of a tyre pressure monitoring system. Decreases in the rolling circumference of the tyre from tyre deflation could be monitored as a passive system to identify low pressure in Run Flat Tyres which would often be hard to notice otherwise.

I don't know exactly which are in the E39 but certainly I have

• MS430DS0 engine ECU
• GS8604 transmission ECU
• DSC57 chassis ECU
• MRS4 body ECU
• LWS5_1B chassic ECU
• ZIS communication ECU

Here is another list of (older) BMW fault codes.

 

It seems the E39 uses the following Manual Restraint Systems (MRS) ECUs.

• 1996 ZAE & ZAE II
• 1997***8211;99 MRS & MRS II
• 1999***8211;2003 MRS III

There are what appears to be complete lists of the related airbag ECU codes here.
And by the same person, ronnie, here.

Here are just the E39 codes (all the codes are in the attached text file).

I was looking for some info about the error codes from the cluster, all I found was this but I think they make sense, had some faults on the fuel level sensors, C7 and D7 and they showed up here.
Still have one error code, BE40048 I think it is, cant find much info about that. My code reader only shows one fault, from the ABS, Intermittent Interferrence.

Here is the list from that link of some codes:
1 Fuel consuming signal from engine control unit faulty
2 Fuel consuming signal (ti-II) from engine control unit faulty

It would be nice if all the E39 ECU's fault codes were in a single thread.
Here is another text list containing some of the E39 ECUs.

• A complete list of BMW engine fault codes, BMW ABS fault codes, BMW Airbag fault codes. BMW Transmission fault codes.

The attached text file (remove the *.pdf extension after downloading) contains all the BMW's in that list. This quote only contains the E39 BMWs in that list.

At the risk of sounding negative, what is the ultimate purpose of this thread? I am all for knowledge compilation but useful knowledge is better.
So is this list to:
Have a compiled list of the codes to validate whatever the reader has put out?
Cross link the P to Hex to Dec codes?
Ultimately build a table of what to do about the codes?
Some combination?

At the risk of sounding negative, what is the ultimate purpose of this thread?

When I opened the thread, I didn't realize there were so many UNKNOWN electronic control unit codes.

So at first, I was just looking for the two codes that neither RDL nor I could find in the standard lists. RDL found one of them but not the other.

If I can find two out of about twenty, that's ten percent of all the codes we could get that are NOT in any listing.

It's far worse than that actually because there are many electronic control units, where we can assume that the missing codes is double or triple that 10 percent.

All I want to do in this thread is FIND the missing lists for each of the electronic control units so that someone else doesn't go through three days of searching like I have been doing, just to find the official meaning of an error code in some electronic control module.

Is that really such a bad thing to attempt to accomplish in this thread?

 

Hmmm...has the universe given us our replacement for Bluebee?

(if yes, then this is a good thing) :thumbup:

 

I just went through EVERY button I could press on INPA, where I found my E39 has the following 14 modules that I could "do something" with using INPA.

1. Engine (ECU: MS430DS0)
2. Transmission (ECU: GS8604)
3. Chassis DSC (ECU: DSC57)
4. Chassis Steering Angle Sensor (ECU: LWS5_1B)
5. Body AC (ECU: IHKA39_5)
6. Body Airbag (ECU: MRS4)
7. Body Centerswitch (ECU: SZM38)
8. Body Cluster (ECU: IKI)
9. Body EWS (ECU: EWS3)
10. Body LCM (ECU: LCM_III)
11. Body Seatheating
12. Body ZKE (ECU: ZKE3_GM1)
13. Communication MFD (ECU: ZIS)
14. Communication Radio (ECU: RADIO)

One drawback of INPA is that it only gives BMW codes, where some, like 227 & 228 can mean either LEAN conditions or RICH conditions (which isn't all that helpful).

Luckily a simple OBDII tester tells me I have lean condition P0171 & P0174 codes.

While I am not sure what to make of the freeze-frame data.

 

I was searching for why INPA doesn't tell us the reason for a red brake light on the dash (where I have to remove the wheels to figure out what it's telling me), when I ran into this set of BMW Service codes.
* BMW Service Codes 00000000 through 09999999

These look like the job codes that a dealer would use to claim payment for warranty repairs or upgrade campaigns that one sees in SIBs. If so they would have nothing to do with fault codes reported by diagnostic scanners.
