Multiple systems failure
My wife's BMW will not start and is showing a series of failures.
First she got 'Dynamic Brake control error', car still ran and she drove home. After she turned car off she heard a 'clicking' from engine bay (relay of some sort?) Tried to start it an hour later and she got a series of malfunction notices including: 'Braking/chassis stability' and 'transmission' malfunction. I was thinking battery issue so told her to attach battery pack and car started fine. She drove 2-3 miles and the wipers turned on randomly, nav and dash went dark. She drove home and wasn't able to put it into park. After sitting in driveway for 5 minutes eventually it did 'park'. Car now shows: 'Braking/chassis stabilization malfunction' 'Transmission malfunction' 'Parking brake malfunction' 'Fuel pump' I picked up new battery and installed and nothing changed. Obviously not every system went bad at once so I'm thinking there's a short somewhere causing problems. I'm thinking there's a single system or a short causing the issue. Think I may start unplugging modules. I disconnected ABS but no change. Any thoughts? I'm going to have to get it towed to the dealer but they don't even have a slot for over a week. Car is completely bricked. |
