How-To - e89 Cruise Control Retro-fit

Dave,

I used the slip ring what was assembled on the stalk , when i got the errors i switched the slip ring from the original stalk.
Then toolset32 again and the same bad result.

Another question that is in my mind:

I have a sdrive with flippers on the steer-wheel, does this make a difference ?

Should be the CC working with this errors, i see the symbol in appear in the cluster, but i think is not working,
or is there a minimal speed for the CC

Thank you for your support, i hope it will succeed to a working installation.

Because you have coded the Cruise, then it should be working, it only works from 30mph upwards.
Can you take a photo to show me the errors, just in case it is not what I'm thinking it is?
 
These are the errors

Yes, well that is exactly what I was thinking, and as far as I can tell it is to do with the last stage using Tool32.
This is the Steering Angle Sensor resetting stage.
You are saying that you received a Slip Ring with the new stalks but have tried both the new one and your original (I always recommend retaining the original as it is set up to the car) is that correct?

In doing the last stage you have definitely opened "DSC_89.PRG" and then down to "lenkwinkel_dsc_abgleichen" and double clicked that? Are you absolutely sure? I realise I might sound condescending here (I honestly don't mean to) but this is the only thing I can think of if you have tried you original slip ring. It worked before and this stage just resets it.

HANG-ON STOP!!! Did you definitely make sure that the steering wheel and the wheels were dead centre when performing the Tool32 stage? If they are off at all then this would mean that once you use the steering, the faults will come up!!
 
Dave,

I performed the last stage succesfull, get same output as in your how-to

what do you mean by the dead centre?
edit:

Ok, the wheels must be exact stand in the middle , when using the tool32 option , I guess

I'm mean as in straight ahead. Front wheels absolutely straight ahead and the steering wheel completely straight.

So once you did the Tool32 stage did the dash warning lights go out? And then came back on once you turned the wheel? Is that all correct?
If so then there us nothing wrong with the coding.
 
Just to re-state - I get exactly the same set of errors as cvhuis has shown in his picture above, every time I remove the battery. It then clears after I have completed one journey in the car - next time I start it, the errors are gone (but I have to manually re-initialise the tyre pressure monitoring; if I do this on the first journey, it fails, but if I do it on the 2nd journey, it succeeds).

This has happened 7 or 8 times now since I've had the car (as I've had to remove the battery 7 or 8 times) - including the time I fitted the cruise control parts and did correctly use Tool32 without issue. Same pattern every time.
 
Yes that's right, it all seems to be good until i turn the wheel.

Is it correct that also the right and left signing is not reset in this fault situation?

what happens if you then go for a 10 minute drive in the car? (then shut it off, wait a few minutes, then start it up again?)

I've not come across this problem where the parts are good working items and have been coded correctly in over 50+ retrofits I've now done.
I would certainly do what Timmyboybunter has suggested just to see what happens, no arm in doing so.

As the coding is correct, then I doubt it would make any difference in removing the coding and parts and putting it back to how it was before as you'd still need to undertake the Tool32 stage to reset the steering angle sensor.

The errors come back as soon as i drive and turn the wheels

I meant the direction switchswitch, Dave

You've changed user names?

You mean the indicators aren't working? Then that's a faulty stalk set, they would still work.
Just to check though, do you have full control of your wipers, lights and door windows still?

You what Timmyboybunter said was to run the car then turn it off (it takes 15 minutes for all systems within the car to dissipate fully) then start the car up again and it should be clear.
 
No indicators are not working, all the other functions are working.


Did find some difference between the new stalk and the original one, see pictures.
So what is the real dead centre position of the stalk?

The 2e picture is the E90 piece, seems not to be right, so i did make it even with the original part en fired tools32 again,
but still the errors.
Netx thing is to wait 15 minutes and then fingercrossed i think...

Watch the video again at 11:23 again, you have not lined the slip ring to the stalks correctly. The white pin on the slip ring goes into the large hole in the stalk ring.
 
I did line up , after i watched your video, but stil no efford, right now back to the old situation and hope it is okay again
 
I did the fallback and reset the tempomat parameter to 01 with NCS.

After that execute the tools32 option and everything was back to normal...
All went well in one exercise :D

The stalk i bought was a 6989557-01, must be compatible i think.
 
6989557 is the part number for the slip ring.
So are you going to try and reinstall them and see what happens?
 
No, i try to bring this piece back, also the indicator is not working.
This must be a faulty stalk, because my original piece did work in one time recoding

I agree with you that is goes wrong with the tools32 , so it must the the stalk

where can i find the number of the stalk? is that the 6989579-03?
