@klausg.6186 6 месяцев назад

The diagnostic procedure is very well described, which will certainly help many people to use ISTA correctly. It is not advisable to mechanically process the pins, this only solves the problem temporarily, it would be better to replace the pins or to process them with a special silver cleaning solution. The contacts are silver-coated, removing them with a file or similar will damage the contacts and they will quickly corrode again.

Thanks for the tutorial. I have the ISTA+ myself and can't get the full grasp on how to use it. I think I may have an idea.

@leiflillandt1488 Год назад

I think you haven't worked enough many hours/days/weeks/years with it...😆 I guess one quite big problem is to learn what the abbreviations stand for. After that you have to learn what the different modules do and what triggers them, and why some of the modules interconnect. What can the problem be if you don't have connection to a module, etc, etc, Another thing is to understand the limits of a diagnostic tool. There are reasons why you first need 3-4 years of education and on top of that 10+ years of experience, and to attend 1-2 weeks of education each year, and still you may not be able to solve an electrical problem in reasonable time. But with quite little "knowledge" you can still solve some issues, especially with help of videos like this.

@SunSnowGravity Год назад

Great presentation! I like the process, it's what I find valuable in most of your videos. This was an easy job that does not show the full power of ISTA. On my previous car E60 I solved a PDC fault (in the end was due to a wire fault, not a pin) using a simple OBD device and an online database to see pins as I suspected the PDC module. My point is that for some tasks less is needed and often more than enough. Logic, working carefully and clean are the most important tools.

In your opinion can I find something on ISTA+ solve this issue? Buy the way I did restore data and still the light not working.

Take the connector apart, pull the affected male and female pins. For male pin, use readily available scotch Brite, for the female pin, use any old pin that fits and create some knurls on, works like a charm every time

@_Amy-Ro_ Год назад

@@leiflillandt1488 you can also use a passthrough J-box (J2534 protocol) like one from a reputable brand , Autel, Bosch etc...ISTA+ has native support for J2534 no hassles and it works just like the ICOM, but it's not cheap, it will cost you anywhere from 800€ to 1000€, and the advantage is that it can be used with any brand not just BMW.

In the UK 99 mechanics out of 100 would never call anything on the car 'ugly and I don't like it' and then go ahead and rectify it, but instead they would like for ways to get more money out of their customer! If they come across a fitting with 3 screws, they'll try to get away with doing just the 2! This guy needs to be cloned and brought to the UK as a subject matter expert! I'm no mechanic or even DIY expert but do like watching you work and rectify problems!
