    Excellent diagnosis Ivan, just one issue. Having the battery sensor disconnected will effect the customers charging circuit, note if you run the motor without the IBS (intelligent battery sensor) charge voltage will default to 13.7v as it does not know if battery is empty or fully charged. Current will be around. 10-15amp which is not enough to charge the battery on short trips. If IBS is present and connected, charge voltage will go up to 15.2v and 80amps (for a fully discharged battery) or 12.1v for a fully charged battery. It would pay to replace the dead IBS to save his battery and not have his smart alternator working on limp mode all day. BMW won't throw any faults when IBS is disconnected except that it cannot see the IBS. Possibly something to mention to the customer. Anyways. Excellent work as always Ivan. Nop notch mechanic.

      13.7 sounds pretty good to me. No BS from the BS.

    • @leomedway1067
      @leomedway1067 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not just the voltage you have to worry about 13.7 may sound good, but your current will be limited. If your battery is at 50% capacity. IBS reports to ecu, ecu will then command alternator to up both voltage and amps. Charging can go up to 60amps and get you charged up quickly. Without IBS and at 10amps charge you will have to drive the car for 12hrs straight before you charge it to full capacity. Meaning you can never recover from a starting event and your battery will forever remain at 50% which lowers the capacity of your battery and destroys it quickly. So to save money on an IBS you will be going through batteries every 6-12 months.

As the ECM controls the Alternator through the battery sensor...

    I have a 2006 530xi wagon. There also are a whole bunch of small modules under the spare tire in a foam carrier in the spare tire well. There was a service bulletin to move all of the modules out of there and into the compartment on the driver's side rear of the car because of potential flooding.The cables are long enough and there is plenty of room in that compartment to move them pretty easily. No modifications to the harness or modules required. I used heavy duty Velcro to mount the modules in the new location.

    Pine Hollow/Ivan, you rock!
    UPDATE 12-13-21: after listening better I noticed DCM, TCM, etc mentioned... now can follow better.
    None of the modules ACRONYMS you mentions are in my GM/Chevrolet dictionary(compiled by me, lol) which speaks in ECM,BCM,TCM, etc...
    So I am struggling trying to follow the logic.
    ...thru your videos, it has become clear to me that the scanners are of great help, but having schematics and the logic behind all the circuitry is very much critical.
    My toy (Express 4500) also got annihilated by water due to super sloppy fleet maintenance, that left all distribution blocks without cover, wide open to the elements, + water leaks that were created by added equipment installations.
    I am getting the 1B+,16can, and 6can on my new breakout box and a slew of nocom with all the modules except the ECM... and a million errors that make no sense... and I suspect the nocom to the BCM/ECM has a lot to do with my click/IPC blackout?! noengineturn/nocrank situation... and this thing was cranking like a purrin' kitten for the longest time.
    The mechs also left dozens of stripped wires dangling all over the place, especially in the upfitter's T-Harness side where 2 extra distribution blocks live... could it be one of the circuits that limit cranking if handicap ramp or bus doors are not stowed is all the issue? ...what a clusterphck! I have to go thru the same steps you describe in a foreign language of ACRONYMS. LOL I am in pain.

    Please do a follow up on the “why” a battery sensor caused this. Also why that sensor is even used. And what could happen without it??? I’ve seen them missing,bypassed and reengineered without a customer complaint. Again, let us know the BMW nonsense behind this sensor. Keep your videos coming👍👍

    I wonder if once you pulsed the wakeup line, the scanner was keeping modules awake since they knew they were being scanned. German cars seem to all have problems with the stupid rear modules, a friend of mine has a Mercedes with the same kind of thing, intermittent rear module due to water. I have been thinking there has to be some way we could better protect those boxes; maybe some kind of water deflector? Sealing connectors with silicone? Something.

      Here is a lesson in massively over engineering a car door from volvo:
      My seals on my door are thick and soft silicon little bit thicker than normal but soft probably mostly for sound deadening along with the felt seals after the silicon seals for something? But I imagine it’s a very good water seal too. The door itself instead of a thin plastic vapor barrier inside or a unsealed but tightly fitted or glued in and screwed down hard plastic barrier my car actually uses a metal vapor barrier that’s seated into thick silicon gasket behind it and bolted tight to it with an obnoxious number of bolts. The wires that run in and out of the door behind the decorative paneling all have heavy duty rubber gaskets and grommets around them and no way anything coming through the wiring either. Waaay over engineered to insane degree, never encountered this much over engineering on freakin door until I was retrofitting some stuff and needed to change a module in my doors and I was like ???? Wtf volvo. But it works because at one point water line was above the drain holes in my door at the bottom and interior of my car is bone dry. Geese volvo
