Dsc/abs ECU replacement coding problem

**Ivar** · 27th March, 2020, 08:24 PM

Hello
I have a 2008 mini cooper r56, i have replaced my faulty abs unit with a used one (all the number matches from faulty one to the "New" one. I have programmet it i to the car but have problem with ista p, it wont code it i to the car, does anyone know how to do this, or what program to use for this? I have tried with ncs-expert but this wont work to. I have heard that maybe autel 908 can do this, anyone who knows if this can be used?

take the old module back in the car and copy its coding. Replace with a new module and restore coding. it works for me!

Did you also write the VIN with NCS Expert? I've coded many uses DSC units on R56 using just NCS Expert without issues, as long as it is the correct type. There are many different types though.

Hello.
Thanks for helping.
We have tried with ncs expert, and we always get fault.
The vin is copied into the ¨new¨ unit, its programmed but not coded into the car.
We did copy the old one to the ¨new¨ one, but when it starts coding in ista p it always goes coding failed, maybe it is something wrong with the CAS?
Is there maybe a chance to do this with autel 908 or Autohex?

Chriz123: Have you had the same problem and soved it with adjusting steering angle first?

Maybe your SP-daten is older than the software in the new module?
Autologic should certainly be able to do it, but so does ISTA-p and NCS Expert, so there could be a different problem.
