    Question BMW ETM Language Question, Condition: Ignition Switch: RUN vs START

    Here is a sample page with the two different Conditions it asks for: http://i.imgur.com/1K0Rbyk.png

    Is Run KPII? or the car running in KPII? is Start KPII? or the car turning over in KPIII?

    Your link doesn't work.
    Key position 0 = Off, key can be removed.
    Key position 1 = Accessory
    KP2 = Ignition in "run" position"
    I've not encountered "Key Position 3" being used in ETMs, but certainly, this would indicate the key being held in "START" position (starter should turn if other conditions are met)

    Odd, http://i.imgur.com/1K0Rbyk.png works for me. I think that makes sense. I wasn't sure. Thanks for the reply!
