Recoding airbag module - Vin_Ka - 09-01-2017

Hello all,

My airbag module was broken and I was not able to reach it with ncsexpert, INPA and ISTA-D. I replaced the module with an identical used spare part and now I have connection with the new unit.

Now I need to code it but unfortunatly I couldn't read the code from the old module since it was broken.

-Does anyone know how I can get the right code 4 my car?
-Can someone tell me how I can recode the module? (In which order?)

The car is an E53 X5 3.0d from 10/2005

Thanks alot smile

What code do you mean Do you mean FA?

Well, I guess I need to code the right VIN into the new module, and since I am a complete newbie in this kind of things I want to know if there is something more I need to code. Also I guess I need to tell the module how much airbags there are installed.

Because of VIN you have to flash, then code. I'm not sure if you can change with flash VIN. Not all control units support this.

No need for VIN or flash.
All you have to do with E53 is code the module.
I use Autologic to do these but you can use NCSExpert easily with simple K/DCAN cable

What is Autologic? Do you have pictures?

Thanks for the replies. I hope u guys can help me to flash the VIN. I have WinKFP for that. I imported the SP-Daten files and tried to find in INPA the right ZB-number for my airbag module. On google I found out I could find the number by accessing "Functional Jobs" and after that "Identification" I get a list there but I dont see any ZB-number or what so ever.

Is the ZB-number the same as the BMW teile nummer?

In WinKFP I have no clue which ECU I need to select. I got DDE40,DDE506,DDE606,DXC853,EK726,EK9282,EK9284,GD20,GD8602,GKE194,MDS43,SKV20 and VGSG83.

In the identifivation from inpa I see by the airbag module: SGBD = MRS4

Is that the ECU name? In that case I guess my SP-Daten are incomplete.

You guys see, I am a total noob in this kind of stuff so need realy some basic " abc help" in this case.

It used to be great tool. I still use it on Exx models.
