    M3 cluster, remove DSC light, change VIN, increase mileage?

    *******solution*********
    Used INPA to calibrate and initialize the steering angle sensor resolved the DSC light issue after swapping in an M3 cluster.


    ************************
    so i have the DSC light and want to remove it. i am familiar withusing INPA and NCS expert and have successfully coded RLS retrofit, TPMS at the very least.

    i am waiting on a PAsoft adapter as well.

    my car has MS45 DME, stock LCM and M3 cluster.

    i will be doing S54 swap in Jan which will include obviously the MS54 DME

    should I wait to do this?

    can oit just be done now ahead of time to mark one more thing off m check list?

    car has 165k miles

    M3 cluster has 137k miles. i want the M3 cluster to adopt the 165k miles AND vin frommy car

    is this possible with out having to do the eprom swap/coding i keep seeing?

    i would like to avoid the EPROm swap and if thats because of mileage chanve, then I would be content with just changing the VIN so i can get rid of the DSC.


    any help or advice please would be greatly appreciated.

    DSC light should be possible to remove. Has nothing to do with the VIN.

    VIN can be changed w/ PASoft. Mileage has to be done with an EEPROM programmer.

    ok so mileage im not too worried about, i have my mileage written down of both clusters so I can match up the difference at any time if i want the true number.

    so the DSC light, do you have any ideas on that?

    i tried looking at the TRC file for the KMB in DUMMY and didnt see anything in reference to DSC light. INPA did show several errors for the cluster but i cleared them and they havent come back.

    i can wait for PASoft when ever it ships to me to do the VIN.

    the reason i thought DSC light was VIN related was that i read so many forum posts on these things and saw more than 1 occurrence of people stating that DSC light was the result is VIN being off being related to the VO of the car?


    would oy be able to point me in the right direction to at least clearing the DSC light?


    thank you!

    just found this on another forum

    http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh...or-calibration

    someone had a similar issue after cluster swap and DSC light was showing in cluster. they fired up INPA and calibrated the steering angle sensor.

    ill give this a try tonight to see if it works.

    Update, using INPA to calibrate the steering angle sensor worked like a charm and my DSC System is functioning properly now.

    What model year M3 was your cluster from? Did you get the mileage and tamper dot solved?

    My M3 cluster was from a 2002 model. it was not the one Terra recommended in one of his threads.

    the Tamper dot for now was solved from me using PASoft to change the Cluster module to match the LCM in terms of SEDAN 330i and then adjusting the LCM mileage to match the cluster since I cant modify the cluster mileage.

    So no tamper dot but it shows a higher mileage than you actually have?

    If lower, that can be fixed. It may be possible to fix if over too. I'm not sure what happens when the cluster hits all 9s. I assume it rolls back over and restarts.

    I was more worried about buying a cluster from the correct model year but it seems like it doesn't matter?
