- Quick video to show the symptoms I had when my e39 540i Auto got the trans failsafe prog error. Car wouldn't' go into gear and sometimes wouldn't even start. I scanned the transmission using INPA to find the error (60 gear switch) which is also known as the position or neutral switch. The issue never occurred for whilst driving. It would occur intermittently from the first start of the day and usually turning the engine off and starting it again would clear the issue. Sometimes I had to put it in neutral first and then start the car and then it would be ok.

I followed this guide and replaced the switch with a 2nd hand one. You could open the existing one like the OP did in this forum and clean it out.

That happened to me, what i did pushed the knob to park and it worked if you dont put it in park all the way up car wont star, because is not making contact to park,
Where can i finde that switch?

I don't know what to do
And sometimes it doesn't switch from 1 to 5.. it is fixed on speed 4 gear
🖖🏻💚🇸🇦💐
Mine is 2005 X5, E53 and I had the same problem and solved it. I tried the 2 at the same time. 1. Disconnect battery + - both for 30 minutes and reconnect it. 2. Put the transmission in neutral and start the car.
This is amazing! This started happening to my 2003! This helped my so much!!
turn the key on 2 then press the accelorator rite down to the floor and tipp it and hold it for one minute , dont start the car , never start the car . Then lift your foot off after one minute and turn the key off totaly off, and listen you will hear it reseting through the air vents , Then start the car as normal i hope this helps .if not its the rear offside speed sensor .
Had this problem for years, my garage tried several times to fix it, but didnt. But, this has worked for me, great, I owe you some beers. Thank you. Dave Warren. England.
Thanks Guy. You're a star.....
Thanks you bro 🙏
@@beebbop9456 Hi! Could you clarify how to do this? Do you press accelerator for 1 min, then turn the key to number 2 with foot still down and then wait another minute? Any help appreciated!

It's the problem with the shift switch. When the problem occurs, you should pay attention to the display "PRND" in the lower right corner of the instrument. When your car is normal, "PRND" has a gear display, so the problem is with the shift switch.
You mean the switch inear the knob? Or to the left side of the gearbox? Cuz in cluster i see pnrd. I can turn on the engine, but its stuck in 3rd gear and cluster doesnt show in which gear position i have selected
I have a 2002 330i but mine doesn't show D in the dash and it doesn't even move either. Transmission it fine but the shifter doesn't want to be in D any suggestions.
Thank you
You should replace transmission control module with the good one.. tcm component failure.
Mine wont start after doung the timing chains , it turned over then went into fail safe , now wont do anything with the key!!
Love the content mashallah x
Thank you :)
Well I see your car won't start because it doesn't indicate it's in park . Sounds like a gear switch . That controls the transmission
I’m having the same problem... it’s difficult to fix
If it's exactly the same issue and is just the position switch then it's an easy fix of just replacing the part.
Mine says that but it turns on and runs?
@@AngelMartinez-wb2xy mine as well did you find any fix
@@AngelMartinez-wb2xy It can start and run but the cause will be slightly different. Could be a bad solenoid. Did you scan the transmission as that usually indicates the issue?
@@playterae4398 First step is to scan the Transmission. I can't reccomend it enough. Helped me both times i had the error.
I've started have this problem for 2 days and if it's work normal how it should I'm having a problem when I put it in D drive mode it's just gear up to 2 gear doesn't won't to go to 3rd gear any solution on that please ?
So it technically wasn't the transmission breaking apart... it was just a faulted computer module?
Man if I had found that out, I wouldn't have to junk mine :(((
That's right. Sorry to hear pal. I've had this error message twice now. 1st time it was just the gearbox switch as mentioned. 2nd time it was a faulty solenoid. Both cheap fixes.
@@KhanHS The weird thing is that my E38 was under 100k miles :((
Only issues i had was the oem cooling system... but that time i didn't have that much knowledge about cars but that was 10 years ago lol
@@KhanHS hi, think ive got same issue with my e39 525d it has gm box 5 speed, failsafe come up and get into limp mode. Do i need to replace solenoid 1?how to find out? Thanks for answer
@@lukolike23 The error can be caused by a weak battery or loose battery terminals too. After checking them, the next step is to scan the transmission module with INPA (free software) and it will tell you if it's an issue with the solenoid or the gear switch or if the issue is more severe and is to do with the gears.
Hey Khan got a problem that's similar to this however i know the issue and how it was caused.... At summer whenever i washed the car, if the pressure wash water got into radiator through grills transmission would put it self into trans failsafe prog. I just had to wait for it to dry out and it was gone
However it's been 2 days since it was washed and cannot dry out because it's snowing where it is right now
hey, I think I have the same problem, the position P and N are not displayed so I can't start the car, which is strange, the position R is recognized. Can someone help me
I had a 2006 x5 with the trans fail safe mode on. The problem is in the hood area there is a big fuse box that cost like $130 I just changed the fuse box and the problem was fix no more trans fail safe mode at all!!!
Hi . You have picture for this box ?
Hey can anyone help me with my 530i. It's modified but not that much. But I have engine failsafe prog and transmission failsafe prog both popping up on my dash. I have trouble code p-0600 and 5 other codes I dont really remember, but they all have to do with the wiring harness connectors for different engine components signals being too low accept my maf is the only one that says its signal is too high. I have been trying to figure this out for over a week and im getting frustrated lol any help would be awesome
В моём авто поменял дпкв и все ,ошибка и пинки акпп ушло
Mines just started today . The engine was working pretty hard to move it when i was getting home . When i got home i left it cool off & started it again everything was fine for like 5 mines & it just went it to neutral engine was fine but all the gears in the transmission weren’t doing anything any help or something it can be ?
This is great, I am having the same problem so am going to get INPA downloaded and hopefully fix it - only difference is mine will start and go into limp mode every time it appears.
Also as a sidenote - how did you get that custom welcome message on your dash? Looks excellent!
Get it scanned. Hopefully it's something minor (fingers crossed)
The welcome message is thanks to the ibus app and resler interface/module which I have paired with my android head unit. Has a few other nice little tricks too.
@@KhanHS thats brilliant. is it possible to have a similar set up with iPhone? Thanks again!
@@emiliod2653 what phone you have does not matter. Its the headunit that needs to be android with the ibus app installed. The resler interface/module is then wired in.
What’s the part number please thanks
Hello. I have bmw x5 3.0 diesel M-sport 2005 I have problem is puting the car in transmission field safty and now is is working only one gear and second gear if can help me whith any recommendations and one more question where is located the stwich control modul on x5 thanks
I'm having same issue. Did you find the location?
Did your transmission used to slip in 2nd/3rd gear when it gets to operating temperature?
So, for the gearbox switch fault that I made the video on, the transmission didn't slip. But after 4 months of this video I had the error show up again but this time it was due to a faulty solenoid. So symptoms I had 2nd time round was did include the transmission slipping, followed by going into limp mode. Scanned it and it was solenoid 1 that was acting up when getting warm.
My first gear goes slowwwww. Then drives normal pass 7-10mph
What can b the problem?
When the heat rises on me, Trans Failsafe writes a program how did you make it?
is this a common fail for this model? I might get this same model this weekend I want to know if this will eventually popup
It is a common issue but the fix is not alwyas the same. Even a low battery can trigger this same warning. The e39 groups on facebook are a great help though.
Coz I have same problem..thanks
Do you have the exact same symptoms? Have you scanned the transmission for codes?
Noy yet scan my transmission .have you experience this problem has lost of power your car? Im planning to change my oil transmission and filter maybe can solve the problem..
@@boyetaguilar2987 Yes it will feel as if your car has lost power because when the error occurs it drops your transmission into a higher gear. 4th gear i think. You deffinetly need someone to scan the transmission first to diagnose the issue. A simple oil and filter change won't always fix the issue. The Gearbox Switch was located on the side of my gearbox on a e39 540i.
@@KhanHS hi.friend i scanned already my transmission and error es solenoide valve 2.im planning to clean only the solenoid maybe it works ..manual shift 4th and 5th cant engage may of solenoid valve error coz we nerver ever change oil..
@@boyetaguilar2987 Should be an easy fix. Examine solenoid 2, make sure the metal bar /prong isn't bent over time making not enough contact. Other than that I'd reccomend swapping out solenoid 2 for a new unit and change oil and filter while your there 👍🏼
I have a BMW X5 e53 2004 30i and the trans prog fault has come on but the car drives ok but lumpy changing down to slow down what could it be I need help
If the trans fault light is on then the gearbox isn't performing at 100% hence the lumpy shifts. Did you scan for codes?
540i msport mine jump to red on temp gauge no crank changed temp sensor no crank still jumps to red on temp gauge now reset computer now on blue no crank but same TRANS. FAILSAFE PROG AND ENGINE FAIL SAFE PROG all fuse are good anybody got this issue?
Also the INPA program is a free download, what type/brand cable do you use to connect to the laptop & vehicle?
INPA is free to download. The cable is just a cheap one off of ebay and works fine.
Oh my bad under the front hood !!
How did you get your welcome message ?
With the Resler Interface. You can add a custom message and it had many other features too.
@John Smith Search for Resler Interface by rolf resler. Its a USB powered small device that can control the I-BUS so you get OBC functionality back if you have an aftermarket unit and you also get some additional features.
Good afternoon Kahn,
I have an 03 x5 3.0 that went into Trans fail safe mode. Car starts, didn’t go into limp mode. The car still shift in all gears but on down shifting from 2 to first it’s a hard shift.
Took it to a garage that specializes in bmw.
They said they can’t get a reading from the TCM. They said there is corrosion in one of the pin connectors. They want $1700 to just change out the TCM. I can a new one I programmed from the stealer for $675. Can they be programmed with the scanning program you mention in this post??
Can the pin connectors & socket be cleaned? Any help will be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Ofcourse, you can use contact cleaner to try clear the pins up. To program modules to your car you need NCS Expert but it does often come bundled with INPA. However, you really need to know what your are doing or else you could do more damage. The coding side is best left to someone who knows what they are doing.
I have a 98 750il right now with that problem but mine starts and can drive but is stuck in either 3rd or 4th gear you know what I need to do ?
disconnect your intake mat senor
Hi , i have an 730d 1998 ,and when i put it in R and the gearbox is warm it give me 2 kicks sometimes .are you familiar with that problem ?
Sorry, that's not an issue I've come across. Worth asking on the e38/e39 groups on Facebook though.
Did u have issues starting aswell when error appears
Nope, I had no Issues when starting.
Hi i got same issue with mine e38..
Get it scanned and go from there.
I replaced my crank shaft recently but idk if that has anything to do with my trans failsafe but then my buddy ran it through it computer and we get the error code stall speed. Idk what it is but it really worries me since it’s my first car and I’m having issues already.
Bmw USA design full of issues European way better about less issues
Hello , I heard about you through the Internet and contacts with friends . They advised me to ask you about a problem with my BMW . I will send you a video of the automatic transmission in it . It has been repaired a lot . When you finish and start the car , the same problem goes back . The sign on the screen goes to the automatic transmission all , and some people say the problem is in the electricity and some say in Automatic transmission please advise and I am ready for what you ask for it , I am ready for it . Greetings Ali bata
You need to scan the car with INPA or something similar to find out the codes. Only then you will get an idea of the actual issue with the transmission.
Is it safe to drive with the message on ? Mine just came out .
Not sure about safe but it's very sluggish. So difficult to drive since it's stuck in 4th gear.
@@EARTHKEENINGhow bro
What was the Name of the part you bought??
It's called a position switch. Part No: 24107512755
How you made it write your name
Using the Resler Interface.
where is the switch located?
It's attached to the side of the gearbox. Easily accessible from underneath.
I have a 2001 E38 that got this trans failsafe prog error when i stopped to pump gas. My car would not crank after i pumped the fuel. I then stated it in neutral after several tries and it started of of a sudden. I have been driving it since without any issues. Do you know what happened and should i be concerned? Should i get the battery checked?
The error can be caused by a weak battery or loose battery terminals too. Check those over just to make sure they are tight. If the error does come back again then worth scanning it with INPA (free software) and you will know what it most likely is causing the issue.
Hello did you solve the problem?
Yes, in my case it was a faulty gear position/selector switch. I've also had the issue again and second time it was a faulty solenoid. Both cheap fixes.
what scan tool did you use
I used INPA
What scan tool do you use?
INPA
Waste of my time😢
I got this in my car just now, won’t let me put it in sport mode and has no balls when going into the gas........shop time I suppose
I'd scan it for codes first. Just 3 weeks ago I had the Trans Failsafe Again but this time it was a faulty solenoid. A scan with INPA is your best bet or BMW Scanner, thats useful too.
Did you figure it out, mine just did the same.
Went to the shop and it didint scan cause the fuse was blown, they put a new fuse in and it blew again right away, they said it will take them 2-4 hours to find the shorted ground wire and replace it, costs about 600$ or less, but yeah try to scan it if you have a scanner and check any sensors if you live in a snowy or wet area, or if you drive at high speeds I’m sure that could screw them up also, if you can put it in reverse and drive it In limp mode no then it’s nothing mechanical just electrical
@@shagbabyyeah literally just the battery, tested good was brand new but it was just bad. Returned it got a new one and problem fixed.
Womp womp... as soon as I said that it broke again. I did get a solid 15 miles with no issues.
