(which seemed to go ok) and got the same error message 'Chassis is Faulty'. I tested the NCS Expert again after having used the BMW Coding Tool to update to V41 daten files etc. So it's not always best to have the latest version necessarily. I've been told that some later versions of daten can lean towards emissions control priority, and result in less desireable 'sport performance'. But at least it will allow you to get various software running, then you can check for the actual ‘Integration level’ and decide at which level you want to work on the car. Of course, you may not want to actually flash/program your car with such latest daten, if some will alter the performance of your car in a less desirable fashion for you. In short, you may want to consider 'initially' loading the latest SP-Daten you can get your hands on. If that does not help, your car may have been programmed with a later version of SP-Daten (or ‘Integration level’) than V41. You may want to check out a useful tool called ‘BMW Coding Tool’. I have a feeling that not all files have been loaded and/or into the proper folders. I downloaded and tried NCSExpert 3.1.0 but I got the same error with that as well.Īlso I tried downloading an E39 V41 daten file and replaced 3 of the folders in the NCSEXPER directory as suggested in various forum posts (elsewhere?) and that didn't make any difference either. Everything seems to work as normal on the car.ĭo you think the NCS Expert sw install is missing some necessary E39 specific files? Or do you think I may have inadvertently overwritten one or more files on the laptop in the NCSEXPER folder? If I did overwrite anything, it would have been with the ZCS that I'd loaded into NCS Expert. I did try using the software before I quite knew what I was doing, just to have a look around - and I vaguely recall being able to load the ZCS then, but couldn't say for sure. The software came with the cable that I purchased - running it on an old Windows XP Professional Acer laptop (running. EWS & KWB) - got a 'VIN is faulty' error (I think from memory). A few times when I tried it again, I got to choose a module to upload the ZCS from but none of them worked (e.g. OFFEN) and then press F1, then F3, select E39, and then I get the error. I am getting a 'Chassis is faulty' error appearing. I have been trying to get to grips with NCS Expert lately on my 2001 E39.
