*Problem*
Over the weekend my battery went dead, after attaching a booster my car would crank but wouldn't start. I plugged in ISTA-D and low and behold i got DDE: EWS tampering error meaning the DME and CAS were out of alignment which meant my keys needed to recoded. Yesterday morning a flatbed arrived and towed my vehicle to a local workshop. Got call in the afternoon that my car was ready,great. On the way home my dashboard lit up like a christmas tree, right parking light failure which is my right Angel Eye that now failed, ABS, DTC and tyre pressure monitoring failure (WTF?), what have they done was now running through my mind. Today i went to BMW to see if they could book my car in immediately to do an emergency diagnostics as i was now worried, they couldn't help until Thursday, not surprised. below is my sollution which hopefully may work for you
*Sollution*
Firstly you may experience failure of your ABS, DTC and Tyre Pressure monitoring after some coding of modules such as my case which according to ISTA-D you need to re-calibrate your steering angle sensor (which workshop obviously didn't do) If you have a copy of of ISTA-D, just run the vehicle tests and you hopefully should pick up fault relating to STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, click it and then continue with plan, it will then walk you through the calibration of your steering angle sensor and solve problem. I then cleared memory faults and reran vehicle test and no more faults, went for a test drive to confirm and happy to say i have ABS, DTC and tyre pressure monitoring again
below are the dashboard warning lights i was getting
