2004 BMW 530i Failsafe/limp mode with code 5088. Issue was resolved with used TCM.

[@I.M.down469]

Thank you so very much. I’ve got the very same problem been dealing with it on and off for about a year now. So very happy you I find legitimate information found on you tube thank you for sharing 👍😎

I had the 5088 trans code on my 2004 X5 e53. My gearbox is a ZFHP26. I replaced the transmission switch by removing the spot welds that connect the browm transmission switch to the TCM. I then found a used mechatronics unit from ebay for £100. I cut off the transmission swotch sensor (brown unit) and soldered it on to my TCM. All working fine now. Fixed for £100.

Did you follow a procedure you found online? Did you know you can buy the switch new online?

[@wasimundre7883]

@@TechnoMonkeyFarm Unfortunately there was no online procedure for whar i did. My switch was spot welded so it needed to be cut. I have seen some switches with actual connectors. I can only assume thst the newer units have connectors instead of spot welds. Hope this helps

Great video mate, I was having the same problems as you and replaced the TCM, everything works fine now! Cheers!

[@LofiSpecialist767]

did you have to program the TCM? how did u do it

[@stevencrombie9429]

@@LofiSpecialist767 Hi, in my case I did not need to program the TCM, maybe because it was from the same type of car. However, there are many videos on youtube explaining how to do it if you need to. Good luck!

[@LofiSpecialist767]

@@stevencrombie9429 Thanks for the reply! Did you DIY it and did you replace any sleeves or seals when u did it too or was it just the TCM.

[@stevencrombie9429]

@@LofiSpecialist767 I had previously replaced the sleeves and cleaned the filter in the pan but when doing the TCM I didn't replace anything but I would recommend that if it solves your problem you replace the fluid later.

[@LofiSpecialist767]

@@stevencrombie9429 Thanks, and where did you get the TCM from? was it a used part

[@kbya438]

thank you for your video!

[@juggnautbitch]

The slider isn't what goes bad, it's a chip on the other side that's encased in black epoxy. You can buy just the chip on ebay for $30 and remove the epoxy and solder the new chip in.

[@alcon04]

Hi. Do you have by any chance the link where I can order it? Im having the same problem. Thank you

[@LofiSpecialist767]

would the new chip need to be re programmed or is it good to go?

[@pornchaik.9825]

Thank you very​ much for the information. I have the same issue.

Hi, I have a problem with a BMW e60 3.0d 6hp26 gearbox, the car shifts perfectly except that when for example I get to the traffic light despite having my foot on the brake the car starts to force itself as if to move forward and to vibrate, I put it in N then in D and it starts again same thing also by putting my foot on the brake in R but it starts to force and vibrate, I washed and serviced the gearbox hoping it will be resolved but nothing, I repeat, the car shifts perfectly and it didn't give me any warning lights relating to it, putting on the diagnosis it gave me such as error 005088 and P0705

Thanks a lot was great help

Hello, where did you buy that part, I have the same problem.

[@melindadanut4497]

hello, do you have any idea if it also fits from other boxes or from diesel

[@tonyhekopiano5892]

There are 4 Transistors inside encapsulate and I suppose one went bad.

[@KailapaHH]

Hi Jay, I'm having the same problem too. Thanks for your information at least we do have options. Did you install it yourself?

[@jaykooper5180]

I had a BMW specialist install the tcm on the valve body and program it.

[@KailapaHH]

@@jaykooper5180 Thanks Jay.

[@Tekashiixine-jo6wo]

Hey jay what program did he use? I did the same thing and now I have to reprogram it

[@LofiSpecialist767]

@@Tekashiixine-jo6wo hi, did you manage to program it in the end? and did it fix your problem?

[@ungureancristi228]

Hello. I have a problem with my 530i e60. I already changed fluid , filter with pann , bridge seal and the 4 tubular sleeves. On highway when engine temperature is at 90 it gets stuck on 3-rd gear and i get error message "gearbox failure". Thinking in changing the same part plus solenoids. What's your advice? Thanks

[@TechnoMonkeyFarm]

Did you fix it?

На Алиэкспресс продают плату легко меняется. У самого была такая проблема

[@jupujii]

I also have the same problem with my E60 525i -03 with ZF6HP19 gearbox. Error code 5088 Transmission switch L1-L4. Already tried to change the shifter mechanism with a used one, but it did not help.

[@jaykooper5180]

Change the tcm and have it programed to match your vin

[@jupujii]

@@jaykooper5180 Will try. Already contacted Softelectronics.

[@jaykooper5180]

Also if you get lucky and find the exact same year and same model, it should just work for tcm.

[@papinov]

thanks

[@jupujii]

Thanks for the tip and now it finally seems to work. I bought a pre-programmed remanufactured TCM from China from a Ebay seller called idea-autoparts. It cost me 475$ and I did the labour myself.

Ничего програмировать не надо.достаточно найти плату со своим номером или отремонтировать свою

[@beniaminpalaghia5741]

How can i Find that thing cuz i serch on web ANd nothing

[@I.M.down469]

Beniamin Palaghia I was able to find them as part of the valve body on eBay, unfortunately you probably have to buy the whole valve body to get the piece that you need. Hope this helps
