    The reason why nobody has posted anything up, is the majority are American Blokes on this forum.

    What are you using to talk to the modules? If I remember correctly, this is part of the comfort access module for the mirrors and the GM-5 for the top.

    You need to use INPA, for NCS is mostly for coding the car, not for diagnostic work. The cable you use will work just fine, just need to download INPA if you don't have it already from the Suite you received with the cable.

    Okay, all you did with NCS is tell what setting to do/perform.

    You need to speak to the GM-5 to see why those setting are not working, thus the reason I want you do pull the codes with INPA.

    That is for the temp sensor in the bumper. Do you have damage on the Left side or the passenger side of the car? It lives between the bumper and wheel well on the lower plastic cover.

    As for the rest, you will need to assess the GM-5 aka the Body control module.
