Hi guys,

I have a problem with BMW f10 2013 pre-LCI, I was trying to use ISTA-P to update it today and it gives me attached error right after VIN and SERIES is determined.

I use clone ICOM with the newest firmware.


A fault occured on execution of the measure

94201 Technical service initialization failed
-2 Global unknown
63014 (CASTOR) - Fault when executing a PSdZ function

Code in car
ZGM: central fault memory full - no control-unit fault

Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Sorry cant help and off-topic, but I couldn't help it and notice there is a beaver in your screenshot ?!? is that for real, does ISTA/P display a pic of a beaver (castor) ???

Did you execute test measures for ZGM in ISTA/D to see the suggestions ?

Got this fault yesterday also, fixed with reboot and disconnecting and reconnecting ICOM. It has happened before also when ista p was not exited correctly or other processes are accessing ediabas. (which is the base for ista)

It'not a beaver, it's a hamster .

I did and error has gone. However still have this error. I disconnected icom and restarted laptop but it still doesn't work.

Start task manager and see if any ediabas services are running?

EDIABAS service was running.

Today I tried to use ENET cable to check if this works. I use ISTA loader 6.1

And this errors shows up

From my personal experience and the topics I learned, this error occurs only with F-series.
Some people recommends disconnecting battery for 20 mins.
Some people says that it happens due to Windows blocks some ports and restart of the OS may help
etc-etc

I have this problem as well with chinese clone of ICOM.
I think I started facing this problem when something happened to my ICOM. Now its SYSTEM led always flashes with ORANGE (Which indicates kind of a hardware problem. Reflashing doesn't fix it.)
So, my ICOM perfectly works with Rheingold (E- and F-) and ISTA-P (only for E-). And always fails with F-series with the problem we are discussing. I can work with F- thru ISTA-P and ENET cable.

Bottom line: if your ICOM has orange light - it's definitely a hardware problem.
Otherwise there's a chance that disconnecting of a car battery may help. (ZGM sometimes gets overflown and needs reset, reinitialization)

Turn ignition on for 3 minutes then connect the icom.

I had a Windows 10 update disable .NET 3.5 framework. After re-enabling, the error no longer appeared when connecting two different F-series with ENET.
