2. Diesel vehicles without On-Board Diagnosis (OBD)
The following BMW diesel vehicles with production date after 1 September 2003 do not
have OBD and therefore have to be tested in the old emissions test category "Diesel
without OBD".
•
BMW X5 3.0d / E53 - EURO 3
BMW code: FA71, FA72, FB71, FB72
HSN: 0005 / TSN: 679, 786, 791
Reason: The vehicle has homologation as N1 vehicle for which OBD is not needed
until later.
•
BMW 740d / E65 - EURO 3
BMW code: GM41
HSN: 0005 / SN: 747
Reason: Permissible gross weight greater than 2500 kg. OBD is not legally required
on such vehicles until later.
3. General information
If one of the three readiness codes (RC) on BMW diesel vehicles with OBD be registered
by the Generic ScanTool as "not positively concluded", this is not a reason for a "failure" in
the emissions test!
The status of the RCs is merely recorded in the test certificate - it is not evaluated!
The system tests for the three subsystems are always performed by the DDE control unit,
but their results are not always communicated correctly to the ScanTool due to a differing
interpretation of the communication protocol.
