Autologic, fault to fix – BMW E6X, E8X & MINI R56/55/57/59/60; Non starter, but will crank.
This fault will often trigger a EWS anti-tampering fault code message (as well as various other codes) and is usually caused by a flat battery, or if the battery was disconnected for a long time. It can also be stored if the Car Access System (CAS) has been replaced.
THE FIX
Step 1
- If the vehicle battery has gone flat or was disconnected for a length of time, it will need to be fully charged.
- If the CAS module has been replaced then it will need to be coded. The DME/DDE (engine module) may need to be updated if the integration levels are too far apart.
Step 2
Once the vehicle battery is fully charged, you’ll need to run through a few functions:
a) Go into DRIVE,
b) Then into CAS,
c) Then into SERVICE FUNCTIONS,
d) Then you will need to RESET STARTER INTERLOCK and, if applicable, the DME/EWS alignment must be carried out. You can also reset the CAS module, if necessary.
Step 3
- When these steps have been carried out, clear the fault memory down.
- Check to see if the EWS tampering fault code has been cleared.
- If the fault is cleared you should now be able to start the car.
