Dis V52 Release Notes (M07 11 07)

DIAGNOSTIC HEAD UPDATE

The first time the Diagnostic Head is connected after DIS V52 is installed, new firmware will be loaded into the head. This new firmware provides the Diagnostic Head with D-CAN capability, which enables the Diagnostic Head to be used on D-CAN vehicles for diagnosis (via LAN Cable only). 

Please ensure that all of your Diagnostic Heads receive this update.

MISCELLANEOUS

Rain/light sensor (R50, R52 and R53)

During the initialization of the rain sensor, it should be noted that the initialization does not come into effect until after an ignition key cycle. Allow the vehicle to enter sleep mode. After approximately 10 seconds, the new adaptive values are determined by the rain sensor and stored.

Loudspeakers (R56)

Diagnosis is now available for the loudspeakers.

FAULT SYMPTOM SELECTION FOR MECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS

Panoramic sunroof (R56)

• New "Sliding/tilting sunroof drive" test module
• New "Panoramic sunroof noises/water ingress" test module

FAULT SYMPTOM SELECTION

Fault patterns for the following symptoms have been newly created, or existing fault symptoms expanded, to handle problems without a fault code stored.

CCC (Car Communication Computer) R56

In the future, fault symptom "0000 Latest fault patterns from online update" will list important fault patterns that can be received through JETstream updates. These fault patterns are integrated into the conventional fault pattern selection with the release of DIS V53.

MODIFICATIONS IN DIAGNOSTICS BASED ON FEEDBACK CONCERNING THE BMW DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

In total, over 180 faults and/or improvements have been made based on Diagnosis Feedback.

For information on Diagnosis Feedback, refer to SI M07 05 06 . Feedback can also be provided directly via the following e-mail address: Diagnose.Feedback@bmw.com. 

TEST MODULES WITH MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

Test modules that are contained in the test plan but cannot be started (grayed out) require the use of measurement technology. This behavior can occur with the GT1 if the Measurements Interface Box (MIB) is not connected. The test module concerned can be started following connection of the MIB.

The behavior described cannot occur with DISPlus because DISPlus is already integrated with measurement technology.
