SUBJECT:
Coding Problems V9.01/V9.02
MODELS:
E31, E32, E34
Situation:
Version 9.01 and Version 9.02 (soon to be released) may exhibit problems when attempting to code the below listed systems:
Model Module/System Software #
E31 EKM 9.6
E32/E34 Instrument Cluster 1.00/1.01
Correction:
Until Coding Version 10.0 is ready for distribution, the above instrument clusters may be coded in the following fashion:
^ Remove the coding plug from the vehicle (problem vehicle).
^ Place the 1.0/1.01 coding plug in a Software # 0.97 or 0.99 cluster and code it.
^ Remove the coding plug from the 0.97 or 0.99 cluster and place it in the original vehicle.
If an EKM Control Module needs to be coded, a pre-coded module must be ordered.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
