(Fixed)2012 BMW N63 engine error “malfunction powertrain”

 

Have one BMW ICOM with ISTA software to scan a 2012 BMW 7 series N63 engine, the car runs rough and I get the fault, “malfunction powertrain”. I thought it was my ignition coil so I replaced number #7.

misfire 7 cut out-02

 

Suggestion from one professional:

Did you have the CCP (Customer Care Package ) done and were the injectors replaced at that time? I think you should have an extended warranty on the injectors for 10 years/120K miles, so that is the problem, you should go back to the dealer and have it fixed under warranty.

Did you run the misfire test module? Before replacing anything, you can rule out the coil by swapping it to another cylinder and see if the misfire is still on #7.

 

Have the dealer check your VIN to see if the CCP has been done (there will also be a sticker on the driver’s door jamb if it was done). Take a look here for more info:
https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/SB-10057338-7462.pdf

It’s just a guess about the injectors, as they are a common cause of drivetrain malfunction. There are multiple revisions of the injectors, so if they aren’t the latest, the dealer will swap them out.

 

Bank 1 passenger side front to rear, 1, 2, 3, 5
Bank 2 Drivers side front to rear, 5, 6, 7, 8.

You should have INPA software loaded on your PC, it works better when testing the cylinders & injectors with the engine running. You can run Analog, or Digital component test. You cannot damage anything with INPA, it is just diagnostic Test.

Here is one INPA software for free:

https://www.4shared.com/zip/VWi1bzg2ee/EasyBMWTools_Mikes_.html

Google “bmw k+dcan cable switch” to buy the cable, actually, as to the INPA software, you will get it on a CD when you buy that cable., and then you don’t need to take risk to download the free software with virus.

 

Fact: 

My car has had the CCP ( customer service package) done in 2015. I had the dealership send me the report of service and they replaced all the injectors at that time along with many other parts except the timing chain. I’m hoping my problem is in a coil and/or spark plug. I’m going to run the INPA program and test those items.

 

Then I was told that:

Injectors have a 10 year 120,000 miles warranty.
It does not matter if they have been replaced in the past. If they are bad again, then the Dealer will replace them free of cost and keep replacing them until the warranty period is over.

 

UPDATE:

Replaced all my spark plugs which were original I’m expecting based on how they looked and I had no record they were ever changed. My fault was cleared by the ISTA program and the car runs well again. So no injector issue, even though my fault reading through ISTA said number 7 injector misfire, it was a spark plug. I tried using the INPA program, but I couldn’t get the program to run, it kept coming up with an error in German.

Thanks.

  1. Question:

When i run XS i can open 1 time
Right now not open
‘’ no access authorization code. You must contact the user help desk’’

 

Answer:

You will need to install key again.
Once you have done that. go to “programdata” folder then to “LIc” folder. Copy Lic_.key file and paste it in

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\Xentry\bin”

if your system is 32bit then location is

“C:\Program Files\Mercedes-Benz\Xentry\bin”

Then you should be able to run the xentry without any problem . I have tried and tested it. I have been using it for months now. No issue.

 

  1. This release is much slower than the 07.2019, even using the same computer and SSD HD.
    I tried it in Simulation and on cars, it’s very slow.

No Update, Fresh win 7 Ultimate 64bit and Only Fresh Xentry installation no other programs, it works fine but very slow.

How does TIS2000 & TDS SPS view the files on Corvette C6?

This article starts with a question “I have a Corvette C6 Grand sport from 2011 with AT6. I read an article that new software has been programmed into the automatic gearbox in the 2012 Corvette C6, making the switching times (with the flippers) much faster. I also heard that there are updates for the LS3 engine”.

Method one: use TIS2000

You don’t need a subscription to view the files on your own car .

You run the TIS2000 in the virtual PC and connect to your car and can read the files in your car.

It’s only when your need to update your car you need the subscription .

If you enter your VIN here you can view the latest files available for your car and compare it with what TIS2000 shows and see if your files are updated or not

Method 2: Use TDS SPS instead of TIS2000

GM TIS2000 can be set up to pull the latest firmware files, but is not for the novice to set it up this way since it meant more for abroad dealers that don’t have the best of internet services to use TDS instead.

So your best bet is to just use TDS to update the firmware instead. Its only $40 for TDS for 2 years per vin.

As for using TDS SPS with the Vxdiag nano GM, once you load the TDS software with Java , your going to get this pop up, and you don’t want to load these drivers, but use the Nano driver that will already be loaded on your machine.

So when you get this window pop up in SPS each time you load the program, just skip loading these drivers each time.

is2000-tds-sps-view-the-files-on-corvette-c6-01

And on the next screen, it will be this driver that you use for the Nano (will be pre loaded on the machine from when you installed VX Driver MDI beforehand).

How-to’s of VXDIAG VCX NANO GM + TIS2000 works?

Topic: How to use VXDIAG VCX NANO GM work with TIS2000

ok for anyone trying to use the VXDIAG GM nano with SPS this is what you need to do (order is important):

*** please note you cannot use the VM that the VXDIAG package comes with (GDS2 VM). It’s configured in such a way it won’t work with the dongle crack and caused me a lot of head scratching to find this out.

1. Create a windows XP 32bit VM using VMWare Player

2. Make sure you add an LPT port (set to auto, not connected on startup). It doesn’t matter if your actual PC has an LPT port or not this is needed for the dongle crack later.

3. Install VMWare tools for your VM

  1. After you have the windows VM up and running install the BOSH MDI drivers here:

(the MDI drivers on the driver disk and vxmanager installer wouldn’t install on my xp 32bit VM but the one from bosh does)

5.From the driver disk or from allscanner.com install the VXDIAG MDI package with pass thru driver (VXDIAG MDI manager or VXDIAG Manager)

Download tis_data_1.iso, tis_data_2.iso, GM-NAO-TIS200-3_2008.iso, TIS2000DongleCrack.rar from this: http://auto-professionals.co/?dl=5847273d53a0b0635724a7b3e1626ef7  (password: mhhauto) or you can purchase one TIS2000 crack

  1. (files / instructions in the updated.txt you may need to click the link more than once if you get an error when downloading)
    7. Mount the tis_data_1.iso in your VM (use the virtual cdrom in vmware player and attach to iso file) this will start the auto install of the TIS2000 2007.3 software)
    8. All options can be installed using the default selections however make sure you check the install checkbox above the parallel security device on the one screen.
    9. After installation is complete you can extract the TIS2000DongleCrack.rar and copy the folder to the desktop of your VM
    10. Go into the TIS2000DongleCrack folder locate the drivers folder and open it, run the DDINST32.EXE (if you get a registry error you didn’t install an LPT port in your VM), select Express and it should install the files then click ok / Exit to close.
    11. Go back to the main TIS2000DongleCrack folder and copy SCAControlUI.exe and Id.dll to c:\Program Files\cosids\bin\ (it will prompt to replace id.dll select yes).
    12. Go back to the main TIS2000DongleCrack folder into the Dongle folder and copy the 2 files in there to c:\windows\system32\ (the dongle crack is now installed)
    13. Now mount the tis_data_2.iso in your VM (use the virtual cdrom in vmware player and attach to iso file) and open TIS2000 (double click the icon on your desktop) when TIS opens it will ask you if you want to upgrade click yes.
    14. After the upgrade completes mount the GM-NAO-TIS200-3_2008.iso in your VM (use the virtual cdrom in vmware player and attach to iso file) and open TIS2000 (double click the icon on your desktop) when TIS opens it will ask you if you want to upgrade click yes.
    15. After the upgrade completes you have successfully installed TIS2000 2008.3 and the Dongle crack, now we need to configure TIS to use the VXDIAG GM nano
    16. Open TIS2000 from the icon on your desktop, select Configuration menu from the top and select IO Management.
    17. Click the Driver button, click the Browse button, locate the j2534.dll file in the window and click open (installs the J2534 Pass Thru Driver)
    18. Now click the Add button (in IO management) enter exacly “Generic Pass Thru” in Logical Name and select “J2534 Pass Thru Driver” in the Driver drop down, click OK.
    19. Select Generic Pass Thru in the list and click Properties, in the Device Name drop down select VXDIAG, (ALLScanner) and click ok then click close to close IO Management.Now TIS2000 software is installed and configured all you have to do is connect your VXDIAG device to the PC / VM. To do this first use a usb and connect it to the PC then in the VMWare player menu go in removable devices and connect the Future Devices USB to serial converter. At this step my windows install didn’t have the basic usb to serial drivers so I connected the VM to the network (if not connected use the VMWare player menu to connect the network) and windows downloaded them from the net and installed the device as com3. you are now good to go.At this point you can now click on SPS in TIS2000 select Generic Pass Thru as your device and your good to program!!Satisfied, VXDIAG VCX NANO GM device works as a clone to the GM MDI.
