Double frequency of turn indicator in instrument cluster
E46 with trailer tow hitch (option 235)
Complaint:
The turn indicator in the instrument cluster flashes with double frequency, even though all
turn signal lamps are functioning correctly. The fault "Trailer turn indicator defective" is
stored in the fault memory.
This complaint only occurs when there is no trailer connected to the vehicle.
Cause:
Faulty encoding data in the central light switch (LSZ). An open circuit in the trailer current
circuit is recognised even though there is not a trailer connected to the vehicle.
Affected
vehicles:
E46 with trailer tow hitch (option 235)
Manufacturing period: September 2001 to April 2002
Vehicles may also be affected that were manufactured outside the manufacturing period
given, but which had a new central light switch fitted in a repair, with subsequent encoding
using a DIS CD of a version prior to 30.0.
Procedure:
In case of customer complaint, the central light switch must be recoded with DIS CD
version 30.0 or later. To do this, proceed as follows in the diagnostic system:
1.
Read out / clear fault memory.
2.
Select "Encoding/programming"
3.
Select "3 - Encoding ZCS/FA"
4.
Select "7 - Series E46"
5.
Select "1 - Recoding"
6.
Select "14 - LSZ"
7.
Confirm "LSZ selected. Selection correct?" with Yes.
8.
Confirm "Should LSZ be permanently allocated to vehicle?" with Yes.
9.
Confirm "Vehicle identification number correct?" with Yes.
10. Confirm "LSZ permanently allocated to vehicle. Start encoding" with "Yes".
11. After encoding has been successfully completed, the message "LSZ. The vehicle
order has not been changed. Encoding completed!" appears. Switch the ignition off.
Wait 10 seconds. Switch the ignition on again and perform a function check.
DIS CD version 30.0 is expected to be available from June 2002.
