Transmission Malfunction Due to INPA

LuisG · 01-09-2019, 07:11 AM

Hi all
Since 4 days I've been reading about learning to code and use the tools like INPA, etc.. I've been a computer tech enginneering for about 20 years and I am very interested in learning about this, so, I don't have any problem understanding the tech related.
The day before yesterday I used INPA to try to calibrate the valvetronic limit position or the learning process due to a gasket change in the motor, but most of the commands in the inpa version that I have 5.06 are in german and I don't know what I pressed that the transmission is stuck in the 4th gear and i have the message "Malfunction Transmission".
The transmission never have given problems and the X5 have 158,XXX miles on it. I updated the modules through BMW Coding Tool with the E70 Daten file, but, still the same.
The 2007 X5 is a E52 engine.

Any help will be appreciate, and I hope to be in the correct thread - I am Newbie
Thanks Luis

I will need a gearbox reset but, I'm starting Inpa 5.06 and I choose the chassis Fkey F5 for E70, then the Transmission option but isn't giving me the Activate function key F6 where can I work with the tranny options.

Any comment to this...?

I would ask your question over at "bmw coding . c o m" as you will get more help over there.

Hi WuCrew
Thanks for you reply,
I just installed Rheingold and started to read about it. Honestly, I found Rheingold ISTA easier than INPA, more clear. I just found that when I worked for the first time with INPA in my X5 it drained the battery fast and the transmission got in limp mode. So, in ISTA I just deactivated an option like
"Transport Mode" and ¡Voila!..... The transmission came back to life.
Now I am going to work with the Valvetronic relearn procedure because I change the gasket in the valvetronic motor....
