Fuel film strip problem
Ghiribizzo:
Thanks schuppi - the fuel guage doesn't work.
So the sensor fitted doesn't work, a 'guaranteed' used part didnt work, new BMW supplied part doesn't work.
It seems odd that all 3 do not work. ?
A problem in UK is that BMW do not offer any warranty on the sensors because 'we' do this with GS911 instead of taking the bike to a BMW dealer.
Im just concerned there is another problem.
Ive already paid for a new sensor that appears not to work. [emoji36]
Are there any values for resistance across the pins of the strip?

schuppi:
YES! :)
pin 1>4 30 - 40 ohms
pin 2>3 2200-2800 ohms
But it seems there is no voltage output on the ZFE :-\
Ghiribizzo:
Thank you schuppi. I will check the old and new strips and look for any corrosion on pins.
Then I will worry about ZFE... [emoji45]

Latest is that all the wiring checks out ok.
No power getting out to the strip.
No fault showing relating to ZFE.
Does anyone else have experience of this?

No clue? Anyone? No power coming from ZFE out to heating element part of fuel strip.
I've now had 2 BMW dealers telling me it will be the fuel strip that has failed.
Also, the usual line that there is no warranty on fuel strips if fitted by anyone other than BMW dealer as they cannot be calibrated except by BMW dealer.
Without mentioning GS911 and 'calibrating' both have failed to listen to advice that the resistance values on the strip from the bike and also the brand new BMW strip are 'ok'.
