Dash board lights on after servicing

Recommended Posts

I serviced my car today, 2002 530i (E39) and then used a scanner/ programmer (Autoboss 3000) to reset the service light. I let the car sit for about an hour and then decided to test drive it. When I started it I noticed that the ATSC and ABS lights were on. I thought they would go out after awhile but after driving for five minutes they were still there. I then used the scanner to check the codes I was getting and they are:

A/C 1 fault (water valve, left)

ABS/ASC 1 fault (valve relay fault)

DME/ DDE Motor Electronics 1 fault (Anti tampering fault)

I must point out that I had gone into a menu for the anti tampering section because my electronic key lock has never worked and I wanted to reset that. I also reset all codes that had come up, but the indicators still show. I also used the programmer to check the circuitry of the ASC and the button itself turns on and off but the indicator does not go out like it used to. I probably should have pointed out also that the car had no fault indicators before today.

Can anyone tell me what else to check or what could actually be the fault?

Sorry to say this.... but I think Rhoan might be the culprit. It could also be that scanner.. I'm not familiar with it. Where abouts are you located ??

I think I am the culprit indeed Glenn. I live in Jamaica. The scanner/ programmer was bought from one of the Middle Eastern countries but I believe it is made in China. The link to it is here: http://www.autoboss.net/en/pV30.asp

My question is can I play around with the scanner again to fix it and wouldn't it be better if I knew what caused the problem first; well I know I caused it but specifically what did I do wrong?

I would suggest you take it to a BMW specialist or a Dealer before you cause yourself any more drama

Glenn an update, the car fixed itself! The lights cleared and the ATS/C operates normally again.
