Fuel film strip problem
schuppi:
Hi,
don't know yet. Just will have a look for changing this module.
But so far, if the good working and used module is coded correctly
with all features of your bike, I think it will work.
Just plug and play 8)
Note
Do not, under any circumstances temporarily install control units from other vehicles by way of testing.
The possible consequences include:
Coding data could be overwritten.
The control units could malfunction.

@schuppi - the third ZFE I had been assured was correct...seemed to be of the correct type.
Fuel gauge? Ok.
ESA? Ok.
All ok - no faults showing after various starts.
Put fuel in. All ok.
Except the air temperature does not show in the display. [emoji20]

So we have a bike - nothing in the fuel display. Fuel strip is in good order. Wiring is all good.
- Autoscan finds no fault.
- Look at ZFE. It also finds no fault.

So the ECU's not the GS911 indicate no faults which should mean all wiring and the gauge element are OK

What does the heating element do in this list. If all is good and it is selected what happens? If all is not good - nothing happens.

BMW refer to the fuel gauge resistive element as a heating element, it is BMW's terminology and yes it is odd calling a resistor a heating element

What you are referring to as "useless features" are the output and diagnostics routines/tests inbuilt into the ECU's which GS911 accesses and they are very useful when looking for faults, when looking for wiring and faults in components connected to ECU's they save considerable time in repair
--- Quote from: Ghiribizzo on February 09, 2017, 02:01:55 PM ---The only part of the software that identifies a fault is when a calibration of the fuel strip is attempted.
--- End quote ---
It is the ECU reporting to the GS911 that an error has occurred in calibration, if you think the GS911 is incorrectly reporting an error lodge a support ticket
