Lighting System ! FRM Repair !

Hello from Norway! Nice video by the way. I was wondering if you have any experience with the gws (gear selector switch) on e60? I have used winkfp to program my VIN to a used part, and by the way it worked fine with the VIN and zusb number from dodnor car. As I started programming the light in the gws is off and it is not working. I was using a k+d can cable and I was thinking that is the problem and not using Icom. Do you think that this could be repaired in the same way as the frm modules? Had some transmission problems and was thinking it was related to the gws having different VIN number that my car has. Probably I will get a used gws again and leave it as is to not have any problems like this because the car can not go into gear or move now 😔

[@MOvidiu]

Hello, use istaP and try to reprogram GVS

Hi, which version of xprog do you use? My X5 has no cabin or door handle lights the rest works do you know if I reflash my FRM module is that going to fix it? Thanks 👍

[@MOvidiu]

Hello, you don't need xprog to flash your FRM , you need istaP or winKFP and NCS to code , Xprog will be used only when the FRM will fail, and yes it's possible to be corrupted .

[@MOvidiu]

No need

[@MartiansChronicle]

@@MOvidiu Thanks. When some people change their battery, they seem to have all sorts of issue on reconnection i.e FRM module not working. Should you wait for the car to sleep before replacing the battery, so the modules are not active? I've read some keep a battery charger connected to the posts under the hood while they change their battery. What's your opinion on this? I believe in ISTA+ there is a setting where you can force the car to go into sleep mode. I'm presuming that's the same as just leaving your car and letting it sleep?

[@peeteraavisto2420]

To avoid FRM3 failure in the future, it's software should be updated to latest version.

[@MOvidiu]

The problem is not the software itself , firstly the software that is updated is in the Pflash , Pflash is the Program Flash , and the partition that it's corrupted is in EEE. the problem is cause by this type of processor .
