Transport mode

Post by ldj2jor » Thu Sep 15, 2022 6:25 pm

Hi guys, I have a question for the forum. Is anyone familiar with the Z4 E85 going into transport mode after the battery dies? If so can it be reset without a scanner tool? Thanks in anticipation

The car will enter transport mode when it sees a very low battery condition, in transport mode the car shuts down some of the electrical systems on the car. The blower motor will only run at a slow setting, heated rear sceen is locked out and aircon will be disabled.
BMW Inpa can reset and BMW Scanner 1.4 on a laptop can be used to reset it to Normal mode that restores functions.
