Great video!!! You have no idea how many people are struggling with this, replace water pumps 2 time, replaced alternator 2 times before finally coming across this video. replacing IBS was the fix. Wasted a lot of money!!! Awesome awesome video!!!
@@trentdaddydolla647 I checked all the fuses under the passenger side dash the fuse under the hood the one on top of the battery make sure to get a cheap test light my problem was the wires that go to the water pump were corroded so I replaced the wires and it fixed the problem
Very good!!! Ur diagnosis method for the can system is spot on. U sir, know what ur doing! Many people would have replaced so many parts and never find the issue. This method shows exactly to find which module is causing noise on the can lines. A single faulty module can bring down the entire system and have the car doin VERY dangerous things. Like going into park randomly while driving. Very dangerous. It's good to know what ur doing. Makes "cheap" BMWs very easy to come by lol

If so I have a question since I read all your comments and unfortunately no one had the same issue as I.
Nice job guy I love your wiring diagram sport on good job. Looking ahead for more videos how to reset a new IBS sensors after replacement Battery registration. Thanks
Thank you Mark! I did replace the sensor for the customer, it's actually sold as the negative battery cable assembly. I did not get an after shot so no video coming. But it did fix the issue and the owner picked up the vehicle already.
Hi friend your video is the best explanation video the I found about this bsd error. Im facing the same problem but even disconnecting one by one of the bsd line component eg alternator water pump ibs oil level sensor was changed but my bmw still getting me the error. My car perform great with no other errors but I cant read the oil level on idrive. My one is 525i e60. My bsd line estill down and Im getting crazy trying to find the reason of the error. Im trying to know which pin of DME the bsd line come from because Im suspecting tha maybe the DME is damaged. Please do you know how can get the pin out for this car DME? thnkas friend.
Hi. Got the same code too but before that, i Drove my car during the day. I turned off the ac and car shut off completely. I turned it on and went into limb mode. Started to over heat blew the expansion tank. The next day the battery was dead. I replaced the battery and drained it overnight without using the car. I tested the water pump and works fine. What could this be?
I have an 2011 and I don't have the blue connector. It's made into the harness. I've read that if it isn't hooked up then it could make the water pump come on too. My problem is that the water pump comes on and off then drains the battery. There are no faults. My connector was broken on the negative battery cable but I can't find a replacement anywhere. Only the type that's in your video that i have to use an adapter to connect to but if I get the adapter I still have no where to connect the blue small connector.
Thank you for your video, did process of elimination as you suggested. It was sensor at alternator after disconnected full function of oil level sensor returned as did water pump stopped running. Question is can I leave disconnected?? Best Regards
With it disconnected at the alternator, as long as the alternator is still charging then I would say yes you can temporarily leave it disconnected until you replace the alternator.
If I disconnect the IBS sensor will all the other functions still work ex. Alternator water pump, engine oil level sensor or would they not function .?
Had a no start issue with my BMW 128 wiped out my original DME after several months of troubleshooting found out the coil pack was shorting out fix issue car runs now but DME replaced with one from ECU Pro what is odd about it is now I have an IBS code and my water pump stays on with ignition on and my oil level sensor is inactive. But what's really odd is that my BMW 128i base WASN'T equipped with IBS but the DME I got from ECU Pros has it? Do you think that's my issue with the inactive oil level and the running water pump ?
Currently chasing similar issues with BSD faults - I thought the blue plug you disconnected is what powers the BSD line? I unplugged mine and my faults disappeared but I expect they would as essentially de activated the BSD?
Did you plug back in the alternator or any of the other sensors before moving on to the IBS sensor and also could you read the oil level sensor after disconnecting the ABS sensor and plugging the other sensors back in
Sensors were left unplugged while checking all the sensors on the BSD circuit. I did not check to see if the oil level sensor was reading after disconnecting IBS sensor...however I suspect it would start reading again as the BSD circuit is restored to normal operation.

Hello. I have a BMW x5 e70 with 3.0. The fault is 2E7C BSD communication error. The water pump operates when the ignition is on. sometimes the battery dies. The other day the battery died, I charged it, then the water pump was working with the ignition off without starting the vehicle.
so on a 09 x5 similar issues, water pump QLT alternator are brand new. water pump is continuing to run with everything disconnected, QLT, alternator, IBS cable.
I just got the 2E7C code today, after getting a previous code pertaining to the intelligent battery sensor. I replaced the IBS, and everything ran fine for a few days, but now I'm stuck in a parking lot at work with a no crank no start. I'm also in the Portland area. Please help!!
Sorry for the late reply. I would suspect the battery may be weak or dead. On these vehicles, a dead battery can take out the FRM module and CAS module. If your CAS module dies, you will get a no crank condition. Feel free to email me pdxautoworksllc@gmail.com and we can exhaust contact information.
I am getting 2E7C that is not persistent. I did measure everything plugged in - getting square wave ca. 11V so I assume ok. But there were still times when I couldn't measure the oil level because of the 2E7C (saying inactive). Did try to plug out the IBS, Alternator - stays same. What could be the origin of this problem?
Thanks for the video, I have a 2006 325i that keeps killing the battery every three day weekend. So I tried to register the battery but I am having trouble with the IBS. I bought a IBS from FCP Euro, the scan tool said the engine management does not recognize the IBS, Cause due to IBS power supply interrupted - BSD between DME/DDE, Do U have any suggestion for me. Thanks again
I believe you can leave the ibs disconnected and that will stop the battery from dying. Just as you mentioned, there is a issue with the wire between the bsd and the dme. You will need to do some testing to check the wiring (visual inspection and continuity test between the dme and ibs. Good luck!
Hello, I recently was driving my 2007 bmw 335i N54 on the freeway. Was driving pretty fast going about 80-100mph. I believe I hit a pot hole and my positive battery cable came lose but went back on the terminal. I lost power for about a split second and as soon as the car regained power the over heating light came on and my car went into limp mode without any check engine light or half engine light on. I’ve replaced my water pump and thermostat together, and my water pump will not activate. I hooked up the scanner and also used MHD and the codes I got were 2E84, 2E97, 2EF7, and 2EF8. After clearing the codes I went back and the only code the popped up was 2E84. What do you believe is the culprit in this situation. I’ve done the important stuff already, checked for blown fuses, and also my batter is good also the ECU is good.
Did u get a code for battery sensor before u pulled it? I'm getting them BSD missing water pump and oil level sensor and I can't read the oil level I changed out the sensor and it's still read inactive oil can a bad water pump cause that as well if I disconnect the water pump temporarily would it allow me to read my oil i don't have a fancy scanner just a foxwell. NT530
I did not have a code related to the battery sensor. You disconnect each item on the bsd circuit one at a time and when you can read your oil level you've found the faulty component. If you say you've disconnected your water pump and you were then able to read your oil level then the water pump is faulty and pulling down the bsd circuit
My 335i was having the same issue but I ignored it now my oil lever sensor not reading, my water pump not working and over heating. Should I replace the ibs cable in trunk ?
The main purpose of this video is to equip you with a how to guide to properly and accurately diagnose what component is faulty. I can not recommend what item on the bsd circuit needs to be replaced. I can tell you that the ibs sensor is the most common cause.
You're welcome sir. The customer chose to replace the faulty ibs so I did not have to try any coding. I do not think it can be coded out on all models. Only way to find out is searching through the coding parameters via NCS expert and see if you can find it. I believe it was in the junction box coding the last time I came across it but I'm not 100% sure. It's best to just replace the ibs and get the system back to original operation.
Question' lately after a drive when i turn my car off it shuts down really slow, as in i turn ignition off the lights on dash turn off but slowly then it kinda freezes then clock comes back on after like a minute, but everythings been reset on my dash, also when it shuts down nd freezes i cant pull key fob out. Along with this same problem i was driving the all lights on dash lit up lost power for a sexond then came back but my radio cut out, had power but no sound, its a 2007 335i
I would check the condition of your battery, battery cables and engine to chassis grounds. Visual isn't good enough in this case, it's best to loosen the bolt holding down the grounds and check for corrosion.
well done, pdx autoworks, i have the same problem my e90, id back probe as you did and the voltage was between 4 t o 9 volt that was before id saw your video, but the customer bough a none brand water pump he replace and only works for a few minutes, then he brought to me and id found out that have a bsd fault but i sae the water was id scope it and that saw that bsd bus is working, i told him the new must be defect so he get another pump but the same brand, a brand i never used before so i thinking try one my water pump brand i always used..
Perfect. If you don't have the properly tools to read the line continuity you can go and disconnect each sensor one at the time clear the code if the code persist move forward to the next until you find the right sensor causing the damage , I'm about to do this on my car
Thanks for that video. I have an 07 X5 3.0. I am getting alternator, water pump and IBS missing. New battery, new (used IBS) any idea what could it be? I am using ISTA+ for diagnostics
Michael R I tried unplugging each component on that circuit and then delete all codes and test again but with no luck knowing which components was truly causing the issue.
PDX Autoworks Yes but everything checks okay. It’s recommending that I check the connections. I unplugged, cleaned and tested each one. No issues with the connection but the problem remains
Drove to college fine, once out of class, got to my car & it wouldn’t crank, I got 2e7c along with more bsd codes (2e84,2e8b,2e8e,2e98) where do I start? Water pump isn’t running like in the video.
1 . Disconnect all BSD components (alternator. battery sensor, water pump) except for the oil sensor. Clear fault memory. Ignition off/on. If fault code is stored again: oil sensor is defective and must be replaced. Repeat test. 2. If fault code is entered again after oil sensor replacement: -) Check wiring harness (BSD BUS) and all plug-in connections for corrosion and shorts to ground/UBatt. 3. If fault code no longer appears after oil sensor replacement: -) oil sensor was defective. 4. If no fault code is stored after all components (except oil sensor, as in step 1) are disconnected: ->> The fault lies with one of the other BSD components. Now connect the water pump and clear all fault memories, ignition off/on.
@@iBryaaannnn I've seen faulty ibs sensors cause parasitic drains and kill the battery. I suspect that is the root cause of your issue. Any symptoms leading up to this event?
PDX Autoworks battery definitely died quickly, tried to jump start it & no crank, once battery booster came off it dropped to around 8 volts. I tired to start it with the iba disconnected & still nothing, no crank. Not sure what happened if prior to that it was running perfect. After clearing codes, the only codes were 2e8e & 2e84. Wonder why car won’t even crank tho..
Hi there i got the exact same problem i did exactly like you but the noise is still there, only i i disconect the batery the sound will stop and everything goes to normal. When the water pump is conected it's drayning the batery i get like 13.0--12.4 if i disconect the pump i am getin 14.3 charging and the oil is not getting hot anymore. Can you please give me any idea what i can check more ?? Thank you !! my car is a 740i N54 2009
You must find which component is bringing down the bsd circuit. The best way is by using an oscilloscope to monitor the circuit and disconnect one com0onent at a time until the signal is restored.
The BSD circuit is not tied into the o2 sensor circuit. When it comes to o2 sensors, I've learned to only buy high quality brand. I can not tell you forsure what your problem is, but I can tell you that if you have purchased cheap eBay o2 sensor(s), you will have many troubles. I recommend OEM, bosch, denso or ntk brand.
I just change my ibs sensor, the water pump get back to the normal but my oil sensor still shows inactive! BTW. I replaced de sensor too before seen this video, everything on my parts are OEM and brand new
(Bmw 2008 535xi ) So I have a brand new battery I had my car at a shop they put a charger on it while flashing a tune it started to burn my positive terminal my car still starts and runs fine but the water pump bleeds for like 10-20 seconds then shuts off then comes back on. Just wondering if it the bsd bus communication fault could be from that terminal or even battery ?
Hola amigo. I have the 2e7c code and showing also high voltage which causing to drain my battery overnight. When I start the car and press the gas, it goes into Limp mode. Ibs sensor the problem?

I have a 2E7C code on my bmw z4 2006 3.0si and I don’t have a ibs. I’ve tried to look it up on real oem and don’t seem to have it. Any ideas? I’ve replaced my water pump.
You have the DME, water pump, alternator, and the oil condition sensor on your bsd network. One of those components may be faulty, or you could have a wiring fault.
Hello I can cross you video I have 2010 bmw x6 50i my oil level sensor not reading( green) I unpluged my battery sensor and the oil light turn green can you help me please thanks
If you have disconnected alternator, oil condition sensor, ibs sensor, and water pump still running, then you have either faulty water pump or faulty BSD circuit within DME.
PDX Autoworks my water pump comes on right away after unlocking the car and then it shuts off afterwards. I also getting the water pump communication error. Pump, thermostat and battery are new. Any clue what it could be? I’ve been trying to find a fix for this issue forever now.
@@mikew3172 Hello Mike, i've traced mine to be the waterpump itself!!! besides beeing not too old, when I disconnected it, oil level sensor went back to normal, and I've got no more BSD data communication errors!!!
Hello do you have the video of how to code out the BSD fault? Have a e90 with the same issue disconnected all four sensors, yet problem is there. alternator was replaced (aftermarket of course - customer bought).

El terminal 15 estuvieron encendidos durante demasiado tiempo mientras el motor estaba apagado. El consumo de corriente del vehículo es entonces, dependiendo del equipamiento, 10-15 A.

Hi, please check BSD wire between water pump and DME for open circuit, corrosion, continuity. If all checks out with that wire, you have internal BSD fault within DME. Are you using scope to see of waveform is present or are you using water pump running continuously as a guide?
PDX Autoworks im having the same exact issue and ive unplugged every connector, im using the pump as a guide. Do i need to do something else other than unplugging the sensor for the pump to stop? Did you ground any wire?
So i replaced all the battery components, everything seemed fine then the car started overheating. Now its throwing this code and i noticed the fuse blew. Everytime i change the fuse it just blows again. Any ideas? I'm desperate
Well I have to try disconnecting my IBS tomorrow. Getting a 2E84 and 2E85. Fuses appear to be OK. Water pump and tstat are 12 months old. Battery is 1 month old.
thank you, seems voltage regulator is pooched, and interfering with the signal, but alternator still charging at default. Time to replace, but want to check battery first as it is also 6 years old Once agin Thank You
@@oscarcee6831 yes, it can cause a power drain (parasitic draw). Its most likely your IBS sensor. Unplug the IBS and see if you can clear the 2E7C code and your battery drain goes away.
So if it’s not the alternator, oil sensor, water pump, or sensor on battery, it’s probably my DME? Makes sense because I have a dme code as well. Just gonna go jump off a bridge 😂
Unfortunately yes, the DME can be at fault. I recommend upgrading to an MDS81 over the original MSD80. I can perform the upgrade service for you and I even have msd81's in stock! You would have to mail me your CAS and Key and I can get it done for you mailed back ASAP! Email me if you are interested. Appointments@pdxautoworks.com

I just got the 2E7C code today, after getting a previous code pertaining to the intelligent battery sensor. I replaced the IBS, and everything ran fine for a few days, but now I'm stuck in a parking lot at work with a no crank no start. I'm also in the Portland area. Please help!!
Sorry for the late reply. I would suspect the battery may be weak or dead. On these vehicles, a dead battery can take out the FRM module and CAS module. If your CAS module dies, you will get a no crank condition. Feel free to email me pdxautoworksllc@gmail.com and we can exhaust contact information.
Hey after a no crank. What was the issue?
I am getting 2E7C that is not persistent. I did measure everything plugged in - getting square wave ca. 11V so I assume ok. But there were still times when I couldn't measure the oil level because of the 2E7C (saying inactive). Did try to plug out the IBS, Alternator - stays same. What could be the origin of this problem?
Wow dude respekt
Thanks for the video, I have a 2006 325i that keeps killing the battery every three day weekend. So I tried to register the battery but I am having trouble with the IBS. I bought a IBS from FCP Euro, the scan tool said the engine management does not recognize the IBS, Cause due to IBS power supply interrupted - BSD between DME/DDE, Do U have any suggestion for me. Thanks again
I believe you can leave the ibs disconnected and that will stop the battery from dying. Just as you mentioned, there is a issue with the wire between the bsd and the dme. You will need to do some testing to check the wiring (visual inspection and continuity test between the dme and ibs. Good luck!
Can you drive the car with the ibs disconnected?
What would the scope signal look like if the DME was bad? Would it be close to ground or close to battery voltage? Pull up or pull down circuit?
To be honest, I don't know how it would look. I haven't run into a faulty bsd circuit within the DME yet.
It would throw a fault code for DME Internal Error
What if there is no ibs sensor?
I have coolant pump missing and oil temp missing
Have no clue what to do!!
Hi, thanks for the video. I unplugged all 4 sensors and still got the code does that mean my dme is done for?
More then likely, yes.
What would the ohms between the IBS wires measure on a good sensor vs a bad one?
I've never measured them.
Very Good tutorial. just one question during testing is the motor on ?
Thank you. Engine is not running during testing, only ignition on.
Big Thank you !!!! 👌
Good day do you have a video to test each bsd sensor indevidual
I do not.
Hello, I recently was driving my 2007 bmw 335i N54 on the freeway. Was driving pretty fast going about 80-100mph. I believe I hit a pot hole and my positive battery cable came lose but went back on the terminal. I lost power for about a split second and as soon as the car regained power the over heating light came on and my car went into limp mode without any check engine light or half engine light on. I’ve replaced my water pump and thermostat together, and my water pump will not activate. I hooked up the scanner and also used MHD and the codes I got were 2E84, 2E97, 2EF7, and 2EF8. After clearing the codes I went back and the only code the popped up was 2E84. What do you believe is the culprit in this situation. I’ve done the important stuff already, checked for blown fuses, and also my batter is good also the ECU is good.
A good visual inspection of the under-carriage for damage to any wiring. Battery cable runs underneath along with water pump wiring.
Hey did you findout what was the issue?
Hey did you ever found the issue?
Did u get a code for battery sensor before u pulled it? I'm getting them BSD missing water pump and oil level sensor and I can't read the oil level I changed out the sensor and it's still read inactive oil can a bad water pump cause that as well if I disconnect the water pump temporarily would it allow me to read my oil i don't have a fancy scanner just a foxwell. NT530
I did not have a code related to the battery sensor. You disconnect each item on the bsd circuit one at a time and when you can read your oil level you've found the faulty component. If you say you've disconnected your water pump and you were then able to read your oil level then the water pump is faulty and pulling down the bsd circuit
@@azcarkeyscomputersllc3315 thank you so much for the fact reply I'll try that Tom have a great night
What needs to be done if the water pump stops after disconnecting the alternator plug ? or the oil level plug ? or the water pump plug ?
Whichever component you unplug returns the waveform back to normal (or stops the waterpump) is your faulty component.
My 335i was having the same issue but I ignored it now my oil lever sensor not reading, my water pump not working and over heating. Should I replace the ibs cable in trunk ?
The main purpose of this video is to equip you with a how to guide to properly and accurately diagnose what component is faulty. I can not recommend what item on the bsd circuit needs to be replaced. I can tell you that the ibs sensor is the most common cause.
How do you code out the ibs ? I was having the same exact problem. Also thank you for the berry informational video!
Very **
You're welcome sir. The customer chose to replace the faulty ibs so I did not have to try any coding. I do not think it can be coded out on all models. Only way to find out is searching through the coding parameters via NCS expert and see if you can find it. I believe it was in the junction box coding the last time I came across it but I'm not 100% sure. It's best to just replace the ibs and get the system back to original operation.
PDX Autoworks okay thank you 🙏
If I disconect the ibs is ok to start the car ? Gracias for info you are a champion thanks thanks..
Thank you for your hard work brother !! Salam 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾🤎
Question' lately after a drive when i turn my car off it shuts down really slow, as in i turn ignition off the lights on dash turn off but slowly then it kinda freezes then clock comes back on after like a minute, but everythings been reset on my dash, also when it shuts down nd freezes i cant pull key fob out. Along with this same problem i was driving the all lights on dash lit up lost power for a sexond then came back but my radio cut out, had power but no sound, its a 2007 335i
I would check the condition of your battery, battery cables and engine to chassis grounds. Visual isn't good enough in this case, it's best to loosen the bolt holding down the grounds and check for corrosion.
@@azcarkeyscomputersllc3315 thanks for the quick response i will do that nd get back to you
well done, pdx autoworks, i have the same problem my e90, id back probe as you did and the voltage was between 4 t o 9 volt that was before id saw your video, but the customer bough a none brand water pump he replace and only works for a few minutes, then he brought to me and id found out that have a bsd fault but i sae the water was id scope it and that saw that bsd bus is working, i told him the new must be defect so he get another pump but the same brand, a brand i never used before so i thinking try one my water pump brand i always used..
It best to get a good quality water pump 👌
Perfect. If you don't have the properly tools to read the line continuity you can go and disconnect each sensor one at the time clear the code if the code persist move forward to the next until you find the right sensor causing the damage , I'm about to do this on my car
Good luck!
@@azcarkeyscomputersllc3315 found it , mine it's the water pump 😑😑😑 already order it
@@dfqnexxus3710 hey man how you knew? You just disconnected the water pump wires?
@@Sunshine-dz5uc yes , I unplugged and when I did I was able to erase the code wich means that's my damaged device
Thanks for that video. I have an 07 X5 3.0. I am getting alternator, water pump and IBS missing. New battery, new (used IBS) any idea what could it be? I am using ISTA+ for diagnostics
Did you try running the test plan using ISTA?
Any luck with your issue? im having an identical problem with my e90 325i
Michael R I tried unplugging each component on that circuit and then delete all codes and test again but with no luck knowing which components was truly causing the issue.
PDX Autoworks
Yes but everything checks okay. It’s recommending that I check the connections. I unplugged, cleaned and tested each one. No issues with the connection but the problem remains
@@cameronjaber2195 thanks for the reply mine ending up being a faulty water pump pigtail. Spliced a new one in and that did it.
Drove to college fine, once out of class, got to my car & it wouldn’t crank, I got 2e7c along with more bsd codes (2e84,2e8b,2e8e,2e98) where do I start? Water pump isn’t running like in the video.
1 . Disconnect all BSD components (alternator. battery sensor, water pump) except for the oil sensor. Clear fault memory.
Ignition off/on. If fault code is stored again: oil sensor is defective and must be replaced. Repeat test.
2. If fault code is entered again after oil sensor replacement: -) Check wiring harness (BSD BUS) and all plug-in connections for
corrosion and shorts to ground/UBatt.
3. If fault code no longer appears after oil sensor replacement: -) oil sensor was defective.
4. If no fault code is stored after all components (except oil sensor, as in step 1) are disconnected: ->> The fault lies with one of the other BSD components. Now connect the water pump and clear all fault memories, ignition off/on.
PDX Autoworks got it, will be trying shortly, will update back
@@iBryaaannnn I've seen faulty ibs sensors cause parasitic drains and kill the battery. I suspect that is the root cause of your issue. Any symptoms leading up to this event?
PDX Autoworks battery definitely died quickly, tried to jump start it & no crank, once battery booster came off it dropped to around 8 volts. I tired to start it with the iba disconnected & still nothing, no crank. Not sure what happened if prior to that it was running perfect. After clearing codes, the only codes were 2e8e & 2e84. Wonder why car won’t even crank tho..
@@iBryaaannnn time for a new battery before you can continue diagnosing. Recommend parasitic draw test as well.
Hi there i got the exact same problem i did exactly like you but the noise is still there, only i i disconect the batery the sound will stop and everything goes to normal. When the water pump is conected it's drayning the batery i get like 13.0--12.4 if i disconect the pump i am getin 14.3 charging and the oil is not getting hot anymore. Can you please give me any idea what i can check more ?? Thank you !! my car is a 740i N54 2009
You must find which component is bringing down the bsd circuit. The best way is by using an oscilloscope to monitor the circuit and disconnect one com0onent at a time until the signal is restored.
What was your solution? My oil gets super hot, no crank sometimes and battery voltage idling is just 12,5-13
my issue is that the water pump wont run. Do you think there is maybe a short?
Did you try to active the manual water pump bleed procedure?
How do I get ista to show me the status of each item on the bsd? I will need to try that tomorrow
I'm not sure if ISTA can do that, but I would just run the test plan and see where it leads you!
Would this make 02 sensor codes because I changed my 02 sensors with eBay ones and I still get code
The BSD circuit is not tied into the o2 sensor circuit. When it comes to o2 sensors, I've learned to only buy high quality brand. I can not tell you forsure what your problem is, but I can tell you that if you have purchased cheap eBay o2 sensor(s), you will have many troubles. I recommend OEM, bosch, denso or ntk brand.
Thank you
I just change my ibs sensor, the water pump get back to the normal but my oil sensor still shows inactive! BTW. I replaced de sensor too before seen this video, everything on my parts are OEM and brand new
Its possible the new oil level sensor is faulty or damaged wiring between oil level sensor & DME.
PDX Autoworks thanks man I will check
Did you ever find out
Can a damaged oil level sensor cause this bsd code to pop up and not start the car?
Yes, it can cause the bsd code to come up. No, I've not seen it cause a no start.
(Bmw 2008 535xi ) So I have a brand new battery I had my car at a shop they put a charger on it while flashing a tune it started to burn my positive terminal my car still starts and runs fine but the water pump bleeds for like 10-20 seconds then shuts off then comes back on. Just wondering if it the bsd bus communication fault could be from that terminal or even battery ?
Any fault codes related to the bsd system?

I have a 2E7C code on my bmw z4 2006 3.0si and I don’t have a ibs. I’ve tried to look it up on real oem and don’t seem to have it. Any ideas? I’ve replaced my water pump.
You have the DME, water pump, alternator, and the oil condition sensor on your bsd network. One of those components may be faulty, or you could have a wiring fault.
@@azcarkeyscomputersllc3315thanks for the reply! I will check it out!

Hello I can cross you video I have 2010 bmw x6 50i my oil level sensor not reading( green) I unpluged my battery sensor and the oil light turn green can you help me please thanks
Connecting a scope will identify the source of the problem. It sounds to me like your battery sensor is faulty.
@@azcarkeyscomputersllc3315 thanks
I’ve disconnected everything and the water pump still runs and I have a new msd81 that was cloned for me. Not sure what else to look for
It may be that the water pump is faulty.
@@azcarkeyscomputersllc3315 When the disconnect the water pump I have 3 water pump codes still. I thought it would just come down to one code
@Allen Leon you need to use an oscilloscope to verify you've found the faulty component. Can not accurately diagnose by just the codes.
I’ve unplugged every sensor, oil cooler, ibs , alternator and water pump still have the bsd code
I disconnected my IBS sensor and still doing the same, what should I look for also?? If you could help me I’m kinda lost here :(
If you have disconnected alternator, oil condition sensor, ibs sensor, and water pump still running, then you have either faulty water pump or faulty BSD circuit within DME.

Tengo ese problema después de cambiar la bomba de agua , apago el carro y la bomba se queda activada por 25 minutos y luego se apaga pero si abro una puerta vuelve y se activa ,agun consejo ??? Lo escaneo y solo me sale terminal 15 2DC3 codigo
El terminal 15 estuvieron encendidos durante demasiado tiempo mientras el motor estaba apagado. El consumo de corriente del vehículo es entonces, dependiendo del equipamiento, 10-15 A. Esto descarga la batería muy rápidamente. Debe realizar una prueba de extracción parásita para identificar qué componente está provocando la extracción de la batería. Yo empezaría por desconectar el sensor de batería inteligente.

Hi, please check BSD wire between water pump and DME for open circuit, corrosion, continuity. If all checks out with that wire, you have internal BSD fault within DME. Are you using scope to see of waveform is present or are you using water pump running continuously as a guide?
PDX Autoworks im having the same exact issue and ive unplugged every connector, im using the pump as a guide. Do i need to do something else other than unplugging the sensor for the pump to stop? Did you ground any wire?

The water pump should still work regardless of the BSD line fault. Typically a different trouble code will set when the water pump fails.
@@azcarkeyscomputersllc3315 im getting this exact code can this code cause a battery drain ? Sometimes i have to jump the car .
@@oscarcee6831 yes, it can cause a power drain (parasitic draw). Its most likely your IBS sensor. Unplug the IBS and see if you can clear the 2E7C code and your battery drain goes away.

I recommend you have it diagnosed (similar to how i show in the video).
So if it’s not the alternator, oil sensor, water pump, or sensor on battery, it’s probably my DME? Makes sense because I have a dme code as well. Just gonna go jump off a bridge 😂
Unfortunately yes, the DME can be at fault. I recommend upgrading to an MDS81 over the original MSD80. I can perform the upgrade service for you and I even have msd81's in stock!
