Steps to re-adapt BMW engine with BMW ISTA-D or ISTA+ software<\/a>:<\/p>\n

(Rheingold is the old name of ISTA\/D. After version 4, it was called ISTA+ and also has the ability to program F and G cars without ISTA\/P. ISTA\/P is legacy now for E series cars.)<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Start new session in ISTA D\/ ISTA+, perform the identification of vehicle and a test:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 open menu Vehicle management:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 open menu Service function:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 open sub-menu Power train, press Start search:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 open sub-menu Engine Electronics:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 open sub-menu Adjustment functions:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Select Delete adaptations\/variants<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Select Delete engine adaptation value, press Display<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Select Reset adaptation values and versions (encoding)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Follow instructions on the screen.<\/p>\n

Important!<\/p>\n

Follow the instructions very carefully! If deleting of adaptations was successful, you will see notice \u201cAdaptation values and taught versions were reset\u201d. If ISTA D\/ ISTA+ does not displays notice \u201cAdaptation values and taught versions were reset\u201d after the attempt to delete the adaptations, repeat the procedure once again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Adaptation of the flywheel
\na) turn on the engine;
\nAttention: the car may run unevenly! If EML (check engine) symbol appears on KOMBI and increased\/incorrect idle is observed:
\nturn off the engine; turn on the ignition;
\nslowly press and release accelerator pedal for three times;
\nstart the engine;<\/p>\n

b) accelerate till 100 .. 110km\/h on even road;
\nc) switch the 4th gear (for automatic transmission \u2013 in manual mode);
\nd) release the accelerator pedal, brake with the engine (don\u2019t press brake pedal) for 7 .. 10 seconds;
\nRepeat points b .. d three times;<\/p>\n

e) stop the car, switch off the ignition, takeoff the key, disconnect the diagnostics cable;
\nf) wait, till the lighting of start\/stop button turns off.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Re-adaptation of the fuel mixture
\na) turn on the engine;
\nAttention: the car may run unevenly! If EML (check engine) symbol appears on KOMBI and increased\/incorrect idle is observed:
\n* turn off the engine; turn on the ignition;
\n* slowly press and release accelerator pedal for three times;
\n* start the engine;<\/p>\n

b) allow the engine to run idle for 5 minutes;
\nc) perform the driving session with even speed 60 .. 90km\/h; 5 .. 10min;
\nd) repeat points b .. c for several times;
\ne) stop the car, switch off the ignition, takeoff the key, disconnect the diagnostics cable;
\nf) wait, till the lighting of start\/stop button turns off.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Recheck error message memory, clear if necessary.<\/strong>
\nNext few times, when starting the cold engine:
\na) allow the engine to run idle at least for 5 minutes;
\nb) drive with longer driving sessions with even RPM and torque when possible.<\/p>\n

With this, the creating of initial adaptations can be considered as complete.<\/p>\n

Note: when adaptations are cleared, following error messages* can appear immediately:<\/p>\n

*\u00a0 error messages relating DSC. Solution: drive 10 .. 15 min, switch off\/on ignition;
\n*\u00a0 error messages relating throttle. Solution: turn on ignition, press and release accelerator pedal for 3 times, then start engine.<\/p>\n

During adaptation process (after old adaptations have been cleared) some error messages* can appear:<\/p>\n

*\u00a0 error messages relating fuel trim (bank and\/or cylinders individually);
\n*\u00a0 insufficient performance of CO catalytic converters;
\n*\u00a0 Lambda probes (trim and\/or signal);
\n*\u00a0 uneven run (Stratified charge and\/or Homogeneous injection).<\/p>\n

these error messages in the exact situation do not indicate any problems with the engine performance.<\/p>\n

After new adaptations are completed (after 5 .. 8 driving sessions for cold\/warm engine, at least 200 .. 300 km), check the new adaptations and clear error message memory using INPA or ISTA D\/ ISTA+, if necessary.<\/p>\n

Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 When starting a session with ISTA D\/ ISTA+, basic data of car does not appear on the computer screen, they must be entered manually.<\/strong> Menus relating NOx sensor and NOx converter are not accessible.
\nThe reason: communication problems between ISTA D\/ ISTA+ and the car. Typical problems with OBD \/ USB host or ICOM IP address and port settings. Contact interface vendors to resolve the issue. If communication between the car and ISTA D\/ ISTA+ is established, the car\u2019s basic data will be read from the car.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 After confirmation of deleting the adaptations (by pressing \u2018Continue\u2019 after the warning \u2018Adaptation values will now be reset\u2019), the message<\/strong> \u2018Could NOT reset adaptation values\u2019appears.
\nThe reason: the condition \u2018Ignition ON\u2019 is not met, see p.3<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 How to comply with \u2018Ignition ON\u2019? \u2013 my car does not have an ignition key, it is equipped with the Start \/ Stop button.<\/strong>
\nTo activate \u2018Ignition ON\u2019 mode:<\/p>\n

*\u00a0 insert the key into the slot;
\n*\u00a0 do not press any pedal (no clutch, no brake pedal);
\n*\u00a0 press the \u2018Start \/ Stop\u2019 button several times while all the indicators (ABS\/DTC, SRS, etc.) light up in the KOMBI.<\/p>\n

After confirmation of deleting the adaptations (by pressing \u2018Continue\u2019 after the warning \u2018Adaptation values will now be reset\u2019), the message \u2018Switch off Terminal 15 and terminal R\u2019appears.<\/p>\n

Action required:<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0 switch off the ignition;
\n*\u00a0 remove the key from the slot;
\n*\u00a0 wait for further instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
