  • Replacing emergency battery for Telematic Communication Box (TCB)
    In this episode I will replace the emergency battery used by the TCB module on this beautiful BMW x6 f16 from 2018 , the battery as any battery is consumable and must be replaced at a certain interval, the battery is part of a very important safety system and therefore it is necessary to replace it, the procedure is very simple if you have the necessary information and a little skill. 90% of the cases when this message appears in the on-board instruments is due to the battery but there are chances that the tcb module is defective, they are usually affected by water.

      To answer your questions It is hard to access because it's a part from a safety system, the BMW engineers are not stupid they have created that car for a pencil drawing, first these cars are not made to be repaired on the side of the road , second , that system can trace your car in case of stolen ( if you have that service paid) or better the emergency services can locate you're car when you will fall from a cliff and nobody will saw you 😉 . I don't side with them (BMW) . I try to make you to understand how these cars are working and how they are thought . Think about it. You will need to be more outraged on Apple , for example in they case you are completely left outside of your products you can't change the battery of an iPhone without special tools 😉 I don't even want to mention about the display replacement 😜

    BMW - you have got to be kidding. I found this site because I have just started to get an intermittent warning. Started off with replace the battery and then downhill from there. Not any ordinary battery but some special BMW battery. And then not a simple matter of replacing it but you have to dismantle a lot of the interior. For god's sake, the error message even suggests that the battery charge will run out and need to be replaced - so why on earth do BMW put it somewhere so inaccessible.

E46, E90, E92, E60, E61, E70, F15, F10, F11, F02, F31, F25, G30 and I probably forgot to mention a few older ones. BMW builds exquisite daily drivers, as do other German manufacturers. To be honest I don’t have a favourite brand. Would probably go with the G31 540i, Merc W223 and 991 to fill my lottery garage. As long as it’s German.

    Avec l'aide de ce tuto très bien fait, j'ai remplacé la batterie 7,4 volts sur ma X4 2020. Tout n'est pas pareil et il m'a fallu 1 heure pour le faire, mais ça fonctionne très bien. Par précaution j'avais chargé la nouvelle batterie à 8,2 Volts, et je n'ai pas eu besoin de réinitialiser le défaut. Reste plus qu'a tout remonter. BMW me demandait 420 € pour faire le même travail qui m'a coûté 35 € pour la batterie.

    Finally got around to replacing this battery as it was ok during the 'warmer' months of spring\summer, but as the colder months come it's started to report as failed again.

    I had the problem on my X1 F48 2017 model. Assume it’s software have bugs.
    Tested to call SOS after shows SOS system failure message, get through perfectly, which proves the system NOT failure. Used voice control coincidentally last week, the fault message disappeared dramatically, and didn’t back till today.
    I rarely use voice control before, have tried to disconnect blue tooth device and reconnect from other youtube video, didn’t work well.
    Can’t say it’s the solution, but cost nothing and worth a try.

    Jesus BMW..really has to make it this much work to replace a battery? How about placing it under a simple plastic cover that one can just "POP" off and gain easy access to it? I'm only here because I'm having an issue with my Auxiliary Battery in my F15 2017 X5...and this is the first time I've even heard of THIS battery.. ..garage is charging me $1,000 for a new battery..a new Positive battery cable and a $200.00 estimate fee to find out what was wrong in the first place...total $1,200.00..this is sad as I just replaced the valve cover and gasket on my N55 motor on at 66,000 miles.. and I did this job on my own about a year ago...and that was FUN, I think my SAV is starting to turn into The $$$$ Pit now..

  • @ditherdather
    @ditherdather 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    After reading another comment, I understand the logic behind the location and accessibility of the battery. My BMW is 5.5 years old and only has 40k miles on it. The dealer charges $900 to replace this. That's an eye watering amount of money for a tiny little battery that only takes 20 minutes to change. In contrast; I had my oil changed, microfilter (cabin) replaced, and new spark plugs, and that only cost $472 and took almost two hours...also at the dealer. I'm having a hard time reconciling the massive disparity between the two.
    Update: Ordered the battery online, bought a cheap set of trim tools at the local parts store, and ordered an NT530 from Foxwell and only have $230 wrapped up in all of it. Already received the code scanner and verified it will clear the code. This particular battery doesn't need to be registered to the vehicle the way the engine battery does. Now I'm just waiting on the battery to arrive.

      Hi Unfortunately not I claimed having had the same issue, I tried to claim on my extended warranty my car is only 4 years old. I was told that batteries are not covered in the Warranty so will need to pay just over 500 Pounds to have the battery replaced. Many thanks to the video for letting me know what is involved I can see doing DIY could result in problems and the question is will the message reset. So I guess I will need to pay for this repair and ask the question why changing the battery is such a mission could the unit have been better placed by BMW taking into consideration the battery didn't last very long and do we not get rechargeable batteries now days?

X5 is under headliner, the roof antenna module is worse the shark fin has to be cut of for access to module which is plugged in to the telematics control box which holds the emergency battery, The antenna is faulty when the car can not locate on the navigation so best to replace battery and antenna module at the same time BEWARE DAMAGE IS SOME TIMES ENVITABLE WHEN CUTTING OF SHARK FIN AS THIS IS BONDED ON IN TO A SMALL RESESS ON ROOF OR HAS BEEN OF BEFORE AND TO MUTCH BONDING MATERIAL HAS BEEN USED. This then ends up a nightmare of a job as fin is stuck to the antenna which is screwed to the roof. GOOD LUCK

    Will the code clear itself? I have just replaced mine and the code is still there. The new battery was at 6.14v though. Before the message would go after the car warmed up after a good drive. I dont have a OBD reader that can access that message.

I can't find a video for it but it's similar for everyone. I wonder if I should disconnect the battery before replacing the TCU battery?
