Engine Failsafe prog..
Having just gone through the agro of engine / trans failsafe on mine maybe I can give some advice.. Is yours engine failsafe or trans failsafe? I would look toward the ABS module as they are at the top of the hit parade for failure and causing the failsafe. I can be checked with a multimeter but it ...

Trans failsafe
Nope. Plug and play. Same part number tho. I did the same on my old E39 several years ago as that module had already been repaired when I took it off..
I've only driven it for 4/5 miles at the moment but so far so good.

Trans failsafe
Update.. Ecu Repair had the module. They called me and said it was faulty but beyond repair unfortunately. Drat! Had to plump for a used one from Ebay which cost me £200.Bit of a gamble but it's got a 3 month warranty. Anyway, it arrived (abs pump included) so I whipped it apart and put the used mod...

Just bagged the MXS 5.0 on amazon for £60 so that's not bad.

I'm having the same agro with mine as well as trans failsafe etc. Could be related but my blower fan has been squeaking for months then started to really groan about 2 months ago. Doesn't run at all now but it's not seized cause I managed to get a stick up through the hedgehog cavity and it turns fr...

Ctek charger
Polarity correct. The mode button won't work either. It does the same thing on 4 different batteries so I think it's fubarred. I'm not having much luck with vehicle electrics at the moment.

Trans failsafe
Latest..
All the symptoms points to the abs module so I whipped it out today.
Bit tricky I must admit..
Anyone recommend someone who can test / repair these modules?
I've emailed a few from a search so we will see.

Trans failsafe
Yes that's OK. I think I'm narrowing it down.. It can't be the ECU as the engine starts and runs OK. So that just leaves the TCM and Abs modules or something that they use for function ie wheel speed sensor etc. As the cluster also requires a signal from the wheel sensors that would point towards th...

Trans failsafe
Well it has crossed my mind but it seems to be ok on my stabber. It's normally left on a ctek anyway. What I have noticed however, is that my scanner can read the car when it's cold but after 30min or so when it's hotter it won't. Just this evening I've removed the glove box to check all the fuses e...

Trans failsafe
Here's a good one.. The 4.4 has gone in trans failsafe mode. I've had it at the place where I had the transmission rebuilt but he couldn't get his diagnostic to communicate with the car. I scanned the car when it was cold before starting yesterday to take a look. Only the ignition was on. This time-...

Although saying what I did I’ve just remembered our Cayenne that did that too. That turned out to be one of the flap motors which was an absolute pig to replace..
