The problem: DSC control unit failure and not being able to pass the e-smog in California. Does anyone know if a re-coded used replacement will enable me to pass the e-smog test? TIA...
Maybe this will help clarify. I was told by one BMW guy that when the ABS/DSC unit fails I'd never be able to pass a smog test and he recommended an OEM replacement at about $1700. Then I was told by another BMW guy that he'd never heard that a failure of that unit could be the reason I can't pass the smog check. Conflicting information. Hoping someone who's had a similar issue can chime in.. TIA
So here are the fault codes:
DME -
(132) 84 DSC, CAN time-out
(139) 8B Interruption, cruise control operation
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (KOM) -
(245) F5 No CAN identification (ASC)
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) -
76 Speed sensor, signal interference,
73 Internal fault,
88 Steering angle sensor, CAN
I am not sure how SMOG testing goes with a safety check, however I don't know the in's/out's of the CA CARB.
Do you have ISIT suite?
You can also see if you can send it out to this guy to get it coded, send him a PM: 328 Power 04, his name is Able
