Re: E55 - New Gearbox Control Unit Installed and More
Quote:
I went to my car dealer yesterday to install a new "black box" the transmissionsoftware, which was QT:03 as in the third version of the software. And the original read QT:01, the first version of the software. The car improved significantly, its much better and felt faster (strange?). Today suddenly the car switched to 'esp limp mode' and it would only crawl forward and refused to react to gas. After it stood for 10 minutes, it worked fine again. is this coincidence or should I be worried?" Thanks for any help guys!
You have two values on the black box:
1. HW (hardware version)
2. SW (software version)
As far as I know, there is only one HW revision, nothing new.
But there is a new software version available.
Since the install of the new gearbox unit, a few of the most common electronics problems dissapeared. Might have to do with the network design of the CAN bus.
