- In this video You can see how to diagnose a battery drain on a BMW , this procedure can be used to all BMW MINI and RollsRoyce cars !
Measuring voltage drop across a fuse can show you if that circuit is loaded or not , for lower amperage consumption that the 400mA from this video the voltage drop will be lower and harder to read with a regular multimeter .
if all the fuses are not loaded that means the consumer is cause by a bigger circuit that is protected with the larger fuses or in other cases is something added on the car and connected directly to the battery avoiding the OE car installation.
WARNING ! This is NOT a DIY , and I'm not responsible for any damage you may do trying to copy what you see in this Video.
I've been doing this for over 15 years, that's why some things may seem simple in this videos. I have a vast experience working with BMW MINI and Rolls Royce , abbreviated BMW Group , and that's why you may see things that seem impossible or very difficult to do, done easily !

!!! Ops it looks like you've reached the bottom !!!
This is the most constructive and easy way to diagnose a BMW with problems. the Dealer takes these steps: diagnose and charge battery, send you off with 200euro bill, the next time they replace the battery 350euro, after that they fault the Alternator, 1100euro, still no fix but a few bills further you wish they ever slow down and watch a real smart youtuber do all the gold work!
Your video's are better then Netflix, keep doing what you are doing... you are great at this 👌
You are worth your weight in gold. Diagnosing a battery drain is actually really simple, fixing is a bit more of a challenge.
The trick with locking the doorlock without closing it, i have never seen before 🙃 Amazing!
I've seen that trick many times. But if you have people around, make sure to let them know they should not try to close doors or trunk afterwards or they'll damage the locks
This channel is a gem and uploads more often than chrisfix
Hi Brother, voltage drop is the key method to go deep into the diagnosis!! truly amazing. I learned lot from this..
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And like always, the key is the information!
As a rookie auto tech, this is the level of skill and knowledge I strive to possess, amazing video from start to end
If you love what you do you'll become better ! need patience ! you are the limit! and remember : make the environment in which you work reflect the work you want to provide!
Well said...@@MOvidiu
Good tips and an alternative way of testing what the cause of a drain is.
This is one of the best videos on diagnosing a fault that I have seen in a long time , (the last one was probably one of yours as well ) Brilliant, thank you.
i watch his videos just for the part where he finds or repairs ...the GENUINE SINCERE REACTION: I FOUND IT / ITS WORKING... its priceless.
i watched this video last night and it made me think when you were lead to the hvac controller, i was getting codes for my heater control valves and have been getting poor heater performance. i also happen to have an e60 so to me the evidence pointed to a faulty hvac controller. i skipped all the diagnosing you did in this video and went ahead and took apart my climate controller, sure enough same exact chip was burned up! i also know how to hunt down and diagnose other potential issues in the future after watching this video. this was very helpful! thank you!
I really appreciate when you show the steps using Ista because I sick at using it (I just started) so your walkthrough helps me to remember and see what all is available from the software. Thank you! As always I appreciate your efforts in bringing us along for these complex diagnostics! Glad to have you here in America with us!
You're so welcome!
You are a God,domnule Ovidiu.Sper ca e totul bine în America la nouă slujba și sunteți apreciat la valoare pe care o aveți.
Multumesc pentru apreciere si pentru feedback!
Amazing information here. My e60 also has a power drain that i need to diagnose. The multimeter on battery and then on each fuse is exactly what i needed to figure out my issue. Thank you!
This is certainly an education. Thank you.
Excellent, Ovidiu.
Bro I literally just fixed my e60 after 3 batteries and 9 months of disconnecting the negative cable,
my issue was fuse F51, which is the auto-dimming rear view mirror smh…
Thank you man
Wish you all the best 👏
Nice work!
Man,I really enjoy watching your video fixing cars it's really informative...thanks for explaining everything in detail.. Keep it up
Great video!! You explained every detail in very easy steps, keep making great content brother.
You are a very smart man, and your lessons are very useful, thank you very much
Glad you like them!
bravo Ovi. avem nevoie de mai multi mecanici ca si tine!
Great work, greetings from Bulgaria.
You’ve got some excellent skills! As always very satisfying to watch. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
RESPECT!!!! Thanks For Your Work!!! Keep Going!!!! 👋 🇭🇺 🙏
Thank you for a great video and very useful information on how to diagnosis our beloved BMW's ... ;o)
Thank you very good video that shows how to learn and diagnose issue. I have ISTA but not sure how to use thank you for video perfect

Extremely Amazing and detailed video. 👌
Just subscribed what a fantastic video very thorough and informative, I need and trust you to look at my battery drain problem on my 2005 E60 530d, difficult to find someone at regular garagesover here in the UK, I don't use BMW agents anymore as there far to expensive. I'm shaw with that bit of kit it makes it easier to find the fault, I'll be watchihg more of your videos.
Dude nailed this diagnostics to a T! One awesome video. This video is a Goldmine of information. Never stop learning. Much respect for you sir. Question for you: I accidentally drained my 2005 X3 battery by powering an air pump to fill 8 tires. The next day the x3 did not start. I jump it with a battery charger. The intelligent battery charger returned a bad cell / need to recondition battery for 24 hours. Can I simply disconnect the Battery monitoring system and then recondition the battery from under the hood battery posts? Or do I need to remove battery totally and then recondition the battery? Again, awesome video. Subscribed.
really smart, best i have seen.. Hello from Latvia
This is just crazy, professional work, thumbs up 👍.
Very good video with lots of useful tips. Thank you!
Mr. Nice work always in your detailed videos! I like a lot and you solve greatly those problems specially electric systems and of course cars maintenance. I have seen many on your videos they help a lot in many cases in here. I'm all over the ocean, Finland! Keep doing tese important videos Im sure so many enjoy these! great work!
Cool, thanks
Excellent video. I wish I had half the tools you have, but I guess you can do this with a standard multimeter, may take longer but it’s possible.
you are so perfect I like your job keep going
Very good video. However, my battery drain (approx. 6-7 amps) initially seemed to be caused by the instrument cluster because removing fuse F13 stopped the drain. The car staying awake can be heard from the DISA valve (buzzing sound under the hood), which turned on occasionally in the beginning, but recently it stayed on permanently. However, the cause of the car staying awake turned out to be a liquid (possibly water) in the plug connections of the DME. After rinsing with petrol and applying a vacuum cleaner, they were 100% dry. Then the problem was solved. Edit: after 3 weeks the problem is back :-( I temporarily use a switch in the glove compartment to turn off the instrument cluster when the engine is turmed off until the problem is finally resolved.
I keep watching this video it's fantastic you come across as very knowledgeable, I wish you could do more as my e60 530d is draining the battery flat over 2 nights, have you any idea of how to help thankyou.
man you are ginues thank you for sharing this kind of videos
Glad you like them!
Very good job. I think you have helped a lot of people. I'm taking a subscription.
Ovidiu, excelent video, super tare ceea ce faci. Am și eu tot la un e60 un consumator misterios care îmi provoacă aceasta eroare increased battery discharge. Urmează sa încerc cu cineva sa vad ce cauzează aceasta descărcare, sper sa reușim. Mulțumesc pt video și continua ceea ce faci!
Ai rezolvat?
Nice job as always!
Why don't you order just the chip from Mouser (or wherever) rather than change the whole module at the end of winter?
Thank you for your effort Sir !
Great video, very informative, thank you for your content
Hello Thanks for your feedback and appreciation!
Nice material Ovidiu!
Awesome Ovi
Good job, I think you need a clamp meter, that will make things easier.
Grate detective work sir 🙌 🙏 👏 👌 👍🏻 😎
Great Job !💪
Great Job ! 💪🏻i had the same issue
Perfect
Ești genial. Mi-a făcut placere sa te urmaresc pana la capat
great video
Again great video, thanks!
Un videoclip foarte bun si educational. 👌 De unde pot cumpăra un ICOM ca al tau tau?
thanks for your videos always been great and useful , i found a fault in ISTA ...CD9304 BSD data bus communications fault and sometime i have the increased battery discharged message on dash in morning start. btw oil level sensor inactive and i did replace it but still inactive and battery is new original BMW registered.
can you give me some tips help me to find the issue ? 2012 750i F01 thanks :)
Hello Ovidiu.
I’ve just subscribed to your channel Frist time I am watching it was very good and interesting I like how you showed ista it was so good.
Please can you tell me very best place to buy Bmw software etc .
Kind regards
Basat.👍🏼
Hi I have a e91 and had battery drain So I put a new one on 2 days later battery down to 78% so I replaced the alternator now holding 99% I came across your great video and thought I would give it a try Did exactly the same as you multimeter read 0.347 amps waited 1 hour meter still same reading Opened the car door the interior light would not come on till I put the earth cable back on the battery Any ideas would be greatfull do you think it might be the IBS
You are great bro
Bravo domnu' :) Invata si romanurile ceva de la alti romani :)
O boy it was so much easier back in the early 70s even I could work on and fix my car, nowadays I lift the bonnet and shut it again I've no clue.
Great video, but can you tell me if it is possible to put the car to sleep with the doors open without using ISTA?
Question: are you using a surface pro with Ista? I have been trying to set up my new Surface 9 and run into hardware not supported.
Hello, I'm using an Hp x2 g8
6:44 man I love u😂😂😂😂😂
Pls help my f25 some ambient light are very very dim including all 4 doors ambient light. Also they stay on at all time thereby draining my battery. Do you think I have a short circuit or control module. Also I have error code 801c20 central gateway. Thank you.
I tried on my f20 to do the multimeter drain test, but the amps went up and down, it was almost like i waked up the car since i made contact with the multimeter. Any suggestions what i can do ?
Отличная работа 👍👍👍
good work thanks
Foarte buna abordarea!
Softul de reparatie pe care il folosesti este pe baza de subscriptie online sau cumparat de undeva si are schemele electrice si pozitionarea modulelor?Mulțumesc anticipat!
Superb
Perfect 🎉
What setting is your multimeter on when checking the fuses for voltage drop?
Hi excellent video.
A quick question please.
BMW F20, 2013, DME damaged, can't read ISN and Dflash files.
How could I replace DME with a used one.
If I install a used DME and do programming and coding, will this work???
Thanks in advance
👍👌
Hii Ovi, I tried to do the same like you did in this amazing video… But nothing… why ? My multimeter don‘t show me nothing… 0.00! Can it be the multimeter or my negative cable or something else?
I really do enjoy being your pupil and you are a very funny guy however confused at 19:12 to 19:53 volts or milliamps....???
I'm glad that you're learning new things! Is Millivolts!
very good!!! keep up the good work
EXCELLENT
i have done the same job last year on my E60 2005, but when i open a glovebox lights come on, if i open glove box and wait 30 minutes +/- will the light go out?, cause when i had this problem i just found interior light fuses and took them out then waited till my car went asleep. did i do it wrong?
same car same fuse is the problem checked the board for anything blown or short circuit no luck
i have tried with another unit same outcome still there is a 200mA drain
Any advice ?!
Thanks
How did you know what that specific chip did? Is there a reference for this somewhere?
Hey dude,
Is it possible, not messure the fuses if they have 0.0V, but only pull the first fuse out and show if there is a diffrence on the multimeter. If not put it back and continue the process? Bc I only got 1 Multimeter and have to use it at the battery. Is it possible? Also nice Video :)
Hi I have a problem with my 750i activehybride7. A box to control the opening of the original exhaust flaps has been added, I don't know how to remove it. Could you tell me where it plugs into the car (it's not in the trunk).
one more question, do you use the original icom and ISTA setup from BMW? please advise.. thanks.
Yes , original ICOM and ISTA
salut! Pentru uz propriu si un utilizator caznic, ce recomanzi? Icom mi se pare cam scump pentru ce am eu nevoie. Am niste erori pe HUD si bujii si mai multe.. Situatia e exact ca la masina din video. Al meu Launch nu se prea descurca..
I have no ista but i wait the car to fall a sleep after 1 hour the gear lights goes off and check all fuse like you everyone was Zero mv, IBS sensor is new one what should i gonna check the car fall a sleep after hour..
Salut, eu când ii dau power down comand îmi ajunge la 0.01 mA si imediat se trezește tot sistemul pe la 7-6A. Ai cumva idee care ar putea fi cauza?
Salut ! nu poate sti nimeni ce problema are masina ta fara o diagnosticare completa!!! dupa diagnosticare vei stii de ce se trezeste ! ce modul e defect sau care e cauza...
Świetny odcinek bardzo dobra robota :) pozdro z Mikołowa :)
Polska ogląda! Ja przynajmniej zawsze i nie opuszczam żadnego odcinka ;)
Ovidio, what is the scan tool that you are using? Also is it, just for BMW or it universal?
Hello, yes, it is BMW specific equipment! Is for bmw group (BMW Rolls-Royce and MINI)
Salut . Super ceea ce faci . Am văzut la erori că avea și ceva legat de THROTTLE . De 6 ani nde când am e60-ul M57 nu reușesc să scap de eroarea cu throttle actuator (2 erori ). Am reparat primul throttle body , funcționa perfect , făcea regenera dar arunca eroare pe INPA . Până la urmă am cumpărat un throttle nou nouț și am aceeași eroare , deși totul pare să funcționeze perfect .... doar apare pe diagnoza eroarea , și îmi stă pe creier , pentru că toate funcționează perfect pe mașină și nu are alte erori .Poți să mă indrumi ? Ceva sugestii ? Mulțumesc anticipat .❤
E bn ca ti-a răspuns 😂
Great work! Do you have a link to the icom computer you use to connect wirelessly?
The icom Next can be purchased from the dealer or from a cars parts store with the original BMW part number ! But unfortunately at this time, is not available to be delivered any ware!
How you scan it, if switch not on?
Do you work with key coding? situation "all keys lost"
Me personally, No! But you can find someone who can do it!
how much is max for bmw e61 530d when car is not sleeps mode jet?
Hello! 80 milliamps
Thats great. but.. when car sleeps and wake up every 15minutes. (Sleep current is 11mA) then this method is not ideal for test.
Hello, I need help with bmw n47 error code 3ff0
Like Pro 👍
One more thing what makes that chip down? Change over valves?
Yes!
Good joob ovi
👍👍👍
