Awesome approach! Using the uScope... it's just so handy! I love that thing. I think you did the best repair possible, replacing that entire harness. Professional job Mario 👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊

[@grabovg]

Great job. Since I left Lexus several years ago I haven’t worked on a convertible car. I loved your diagnostic process on this one

[@gregjones8501]

I can appreciate the time that was taken to find the service info! I have the hardest time with that part of the diagnostic process. Finding info and basically key wording is the most difficult in my opinion! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Mario you are Mr. Fixit. Cars nowadays are so unreliable with all the electronics packed into them something is bound to break. Looks like every system on the car has a module. Mario I thank you for sharing and hope you don’t see to many more convertibles. Stay safe and well Artie 😊

Mario employed a technique generally known as the "stereo effect." SMA has used it occasionally when diagnosing wheel speed sensors.

[@isalmankhan1]

Bravo👍 Thanks for sharing Bro, it was challenging at the point, where service info was not matching with the actual voltage values, but you fixed it with experience😉 Stay Safe👍

[@fire7765]

Great job

[@adriaanvanheerden737]

It is still a 5 volt supply, because it is negative swich and a pull down sensor between positive ( stable) to changeable negative through the module.

[@dtandfam8100]

Nice fix! Strange circuit design.. Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@stevenkietzke5582]

Man some of the service information can lead ya down rabbit hole if not careful Thanks

[@BuggysTowJam]

Great find Mario! Liked

[@robertmobileman8304]

Great video Mario good fix man

[@Gmansour1971]

Great job, damn service info led me down the wrong path many times.

[@adriaanvanheerden737]

Tx Mario, your video helped a lot.

[@mikecont9742]

Great diagnosis..

[@gilron9585]

great video, just curious why the customer did not go to the dealer of bmw ? :)

[@htownblue11]

Well done Mario. What kind of scanner did you use? Crazy how a low mileage wiring harness failed. As for the service data, trust but always verify right? Love how you aren’t afraid of a job you haven’t ever done, but you just use sound diagnostic steps to confirm a fix.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Thanks! I used an autel im608

[@tamiibrock6176]

The same with my 2015 bmw 228i.

[@luxuryacuraz]

Great Video

[@davidreynoso8907]

I like the mini scope what brand is It Mario ? I have had issues with all data misleading service info hahah

[@BuggysTowJam]

It looks like Uscope from aeswave

[@chuckwwillingham530]

When the top gets used multiple times daily... designed for occasional use!

[@jmoore8319]

Nice work Mario. Hey question.....I own a very busy and well respected Porsche/Audi shop in mid-city Los Angeles. Were looking for a diagnostic tech who's good with customer service and has a chill attitude. In other words, someone a lot like you. If you're interested, let me know. I would love to speak with you about it. You're an awesome tech bro. I'm a diagnostic tech also and I love watching your approach to problem solving. You make it look easy....I guess that might be the editing too but either way...thats a compliment, man. You know your shit. Anyways, hit me back. Lets talk

[@karolisgarbaciauskas5445]

Did I get it right.. There was some DTC stored, but that the sensor is shorted to ground you saw in some live dada, am I right? Good fix.

[@kevinbarry71]

The top is like the turn signals on a BMW; not really meant to be used

[@abelhrodriguez6880]

Hello would you have a video on how to replace a Hydraulic Unit, Convertible Top Motor, Hydraulic Pump for a M235 F23

[@ericjones9367]

Did you not have to re-engaged motor after pulling release? I pulled the release and now can’t get it to open…

[@tamiibrock6176]

How did you released the top roof front lock? Manually or just from trunk with those two black pullers?

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Since the top attempted to open i didn't have to manually open it. But yes there's a small tab you can pull and manually open the top lick

[@CarsSupercars]

How to disable to BMW f30 hood alarm? I want to disable the sensor. Can you help?

[@kevinbarry71]

Love the video; you live in southern Florida and you don't work on many convertibles?

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

😂Ironic i know LOL

[@romero_mellow9573]

How were you able to find the part number for that sensor? I have a similar issue on a 640i but can’t seem to find the pn for the sensor. Is it a harness?

[@diegobasallote795]

¿Podrías activar los subtítulos e Español? Un saludo y gracias de antemano

[@TheGambinoo]

What's the part number for the sensor?

[@mikesabin8568]

This is not supposed to be this difficult he says... every time i work on bmw this phrase is uttered.

[@junlu5182]

Hey there, this is Liz from MXR, a brand of rebuilding and car parts. Are you interested in any FB Group collaborations?

[@franciscodiez5825]

We could see better if you had a brighter headlamp.................🤷 Perhaps......🤣🤣🤣
