If you follow the steps for an automatic determination and the MODIC display states "For the part number programmed control unit ____ no data available in program." Compare the BMW label, located on the cover of the DME control module with those shown below and follow the directions indicated:





Figure A - Label for an original control module (Valid VIN Shown). Follow the steps for a manual determination in the flowchart and enter the pan numbers that appear on the label of the control module or from Table 1.





Figure B - Label for a replaced control module (Non-Valid VIN Shown). Follow the steps for a manual determination in the flowchart and enter the part numbers that appear on the label of the control module or from Table 1.





Figure C - Label for a control module that has been reprogrammed using the MODIC.

The following is an example of the data that is displayed on the MODIC screen and can also be printed out once a determination is made.
