  1. Alright, sharing this information to make people aware of the suffering. The individual with the suitable coding tablet was unable to do the coding task. According to it, it is necessary to do a software repair rather than merely coding. To do this, I must locate a numerical value consisting of either three or four digits in close proximity to the component number on the transfer case or gearbox. Subsequently, this information may be used to notify the vehicle of the modification and to inform the electronic systems about the transfer case or gearbox. Does anybody possess knowledge on this matter, or can anyone direct me to the source of this elusive numerical value? Is it located on the gearbox or the transfer case? The transfer case is an ATC 450. In the event that I am unable to locate it, the vehicle will be sent to the dealer on Monday to address an airbag recall. The dealer will then conduct an inquiry into the matter, with a cost of £222. The cost of coding cannot be determined until the inquiry is completed. Reminder to oneself - avoid contact with water.
  2. Although the new module seems to have resolved all the issues, I am not completely free from potential problems. Prior to activating the 4 wheel drive, it seems that the automobile requires coding. I am hopeful that I have found someone who can assist me with that task on Friday.
  3. Positive information (in my opinion). I have discovered that this is completely filled with water, so hopefully that is the issue. I own the ATC 450 transfer case, which is not afflicted by the worm gear issue. I have successfully located the precise item in a used condition on eBay, being sold by a dismantler. Consequently, I am hoping that this acquisition will resolve the issue. The integrity of this unit's waterproofing has been compromised over time, resulting in suboptimal seal performance. The puddles around it are the result of its opening.
  4. Do you have any recommendations on how to assess the functionality of a motor? Does the transfer case include any further electrical components than the servo motor responsible for generating the communication error? Yesterday evening, I attempted to remove it, but it seems that the removal of the supporting bracket is necessary. I successfully removed all of the bolts, including the one that passes through the transfer case, but the object remained immovable. There is a rubber mount located between the support and the transfer case that is difficult to remove.
  5. Greetings, everyone. I seek assistance from someone. Due to heavy rainfall causing a river in our hamlet, my wife borrowed the X5 for the day. The water depth was around 12 inches, as indicated by her description. She was operating the vehicle at a much reduced speed. Everything was going well until around the midpoint of the deluge, at which point several lights suddenly illuminated. Warnings for ABS, Dynamic Stability Control, and Electronic Handbrake. The car was still able to drive back home. The scanner displays the following issues: some disappear after resetting, but reappear after driving. The VTG (Transfer Case) is experiencing a line disconnection issue with terminal 30b in the 520D Transfer Box. This is related to the CF80 component. Engine management system has received a signal requesting a certain torque setpoint. The transfer box (VTG) is experiencing a malfunction with the servor motor in the load circuit. 5215 Transfer box (VTG): Internal Control Unit malfunction (software reset) 5216 The PWM unexpectedly deactivated. 5222 Deactivate the control unit of the transfer box (VTG) in its entirety. The user's text is "522A". Transfer box (VTG): Internal Control Unit malfunction (software reset) ABS/DCS (Dynamic Stability Control) is referred to as D36A. No message received from the transmitter with the identifier VTG and the hexadecimal value 0xBC. The receiver is DSC and the transmitter is VTG with the hexadecimal value D36B. No message received from the transmitter with the identifier VTG and hexadecimal value 0x376. The receiver is DSC and the transmitter is VTG with hexadecimal value 5F3A. Transfer Case: Dysfunction ECM/DME/DDE refers to the Digital Motor/Diesel Electronics system. The 4C3C message with code (SOLL_MOM_ANF, 0xBB) indicates a fault. Additionally, there is a LIN bus communication fault with code 49A6. The electro-mechanical parking brake is experiencing an issue with the EMF DSC interface, specifically a signal invalid error. It seems likely that water entered an area where it should not have, given the automobile was in good condition before being driven through water. I have removed the lower covers of the automobile and inspected the connection on the servo motor located on the transfer case. Although I seemed to be dry and clean, I decided to apply a coat of electrical cleaner/lubricant (a specialised product, not WD40) as a precautionary measure. I have thoroughly inspected the boot and ensured that no water has into the surrounding electronics, since I have come across information suggesting that this is a potential issue. Once again, everything seems to be in good condition and dry, despite the fact that everything has been left untouched for a few days before to my examination. The 4x4 system is completely non-functional since the front wheels remain disengaged at all times. The parking brake functions properly while the vehicle is not in motion, however it fails to engage when the vehicle is in motion. It is expected to perform well at depths of up to half a metre, and I have certainly used it in deep water without encountering any problems. Do you have any suggestions on the next steps to investigate or the potential cause of the issue? I'm optimistic that the issue is only the presence of water, since everything was in good condition before becoming moist. I really dislike the notion of returning it to the BMW dealer if I can avoid it.
  6. I find it fair to expect a major service to be performed, particularly considering that it is the last significant service covered under the warranty. While it is possible to save some money by going to an independent mechanic, having a complete set of KIA dealer stamps in your service book will increase the trade-in value when you decide to sell your car. Furthermore, in the event of a significant disaster occurring during the last months of the guarantee duration, the dealer or KIA UK will not engage in any disputes about the warranty.
  7. Consider using silica gel, a moisture-absorbing substance, in your automobile to address the issue. I use this product during periods of inactivity for the autos, sometimes referred to as "hibernation" (purchased from Amazon). One kilogramme This product is a reusable dehumidifier bag with silica gel that effectively absorbs moisture and dampness. It has a color-changing indicator to show when it needs to be replaced. Additionally, it includes an anti-slip pad for stability.
