Vehicle Damage Warnings

WHEN PERFORMING COMP0NENT TESTS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
Observe relevant safety codes and accident prevention regulations when performing all work on the engine and transmission electrical systems.

All test instructions serve as a supplement to Electronic Transmission Control (EGS) self-diagnosis and assume that the BMW Service Tester, MoDIC or equivalent test equipment is used to monitor the system statuses.

If not otherwise specified, always switch "Off" the ignition.

Before disconnecting the control unit or the battery, read out the defect code memory and print out complete with troubleshooting.

Detach control unit connector only when the ignition is switched "Off".

Check wires only with the control unit connector or component connector detached.

Always check in accordance with the schematics (note connector and pin numbers).

The specified nominal values refer to a room temperature of 72 ± 9° F (23 +/- 5° C).

Tests during the troubleshooting procedure are performed at the universal adapter with the transmission wire harness or EGS control unit connected. Ensure good contacting in order to avoid contact resistances.

Only use suitable test equipment (test leads, terminals, probe tips etc.).
