Hi all,

Please see quote regarding this fault as discussed in June 2013.
My question is can the GS-911 see what the mileage discrepancy  is between the BMS-KP and KOMBI units?

but from the autoscan I can see they have different part numbers...

the fault code:
37685
Discrepancy in values of total mileage between BMS-KP and KOMBI (instrument cluster)
The fault is currently present.

you will always get when replacing either a BMSK or a Cluster... as the mileage is backed up in the BMSK...  This can be fixed by BMW on a GT1.. from what I've learned, this can ONLY be done on a GT1  (if it is a used unit) as the the 3rd Generation MOSS only allows setting of the mileage on a NEW cluster (to promote the replacement of NEW units only)

is this a Used or a New cluster ?

Then it will need to be "matched" or "married" as well.. as every cluster saves the bikes VIN number etc and if that's a mismatch, the unit bike will not be happy either...

I still intend to play with matching/replacement of Control units, but that's a bit down the line... too much else to do at this point...

best,
Stephan

hi guys
most of the time it errors caused by coding
how ever i am not sure how badly damaged you unit is but what i did for a mate of mine was rebuilding the old unit into the new units plastics and removed and switched over the lcd screen that way we avoided coding issues and odometer flashing for incorrect millage
