My E70 won't start after a failed update to DME/DDE

[Latinzai]

Hi, guys. I really wish you could help me with this one

I was trying to update my modules using WINKFP, starting with the DME/DDE (Engine) module. I followed the steps described in this video. However, when I clicked the Prog. ZB-Update button to start the coding, the program froze for about 1-2 minutes, then an (very long) error related to access denied popped out.

After closing the program, I found that I messed up: the engine cranks, but wouldn't start.

MY SETTINGS BEFORE THE UPDATE ATTEMPT:


After the update the DME/DDE module is not listed anymore.

When I tried to flash again to see if that'd work, I get the following error messages:



Another important facts:

• This is an E70 X5 xDrive 2009
• The key was plugged in when the update took place. Ignition was OFF.
• Used a K+DCAN cable with Windows 10

Thanks in advance for the help!

At this point, try locate your old ZB dme number and attempt to try it again with a battery charger(hi amp) hooked up. Dme is very sensitive with juice power.

Did you flash any other module before the dme? I would’ve test it on some uncritical module before the dme.

Hi TwinSnailz!

I did not flash any other thing before. Last thing I did was to code the battery using NCSExpert but that was long ago.

These are the previous settings:

ZB part no.: 7602220
ZB Number: 7603150

This is the ZB Number I attempted to update to: 8609178

The old one (7603150) is not listed here:



How can I find it?

[TwinSnailz]

Try get a hold of an older daten file and reload it to winkfp. Manually enter the old zb number.

When you updated the last one, did winkfp choose it for you?

Hi TwinSnailz !

I was table to get the vehicle working by doing the following:

1. Charged my battery with a stand-alone charger. It's a 80ah/990CCA battery.
2. Turned on the ignition.
3. Plugged the K+DCAN cable in the OBD port.
4. I deleted some error codes using Dr. Gini, but I think this was not necessary.
5. Opened WinKFP and selected Comfort -> Choose Custom File -> ECU: MSV80 -> ZB: 7617234 -> Done -> Program.

It flashed in about 2min or so. After that, the vehicle started and worked like charm. Apparently it was the lack of power that made it fail.

A million times, thank you!

I hope this thread can help others, too.
