    Default corrections to secret OBC codes

    http://home.iae.nl/users/bts/obc.htm

    Kai from the German E34 board informed that these are not correct:

    1. #06 is not "Amps", it's the measured current fuel in tank (in litres). Works only if ignition is on.

    2. #07 is not "% of full", it's the calculated (!!) current fuel in tank.

    3. #09 is the current voltage at terminal 15 (not terminal R!), so you have to turn the ignition on.

    4. #10 has absolutely nothing to do with something like speedometer correction, it's for the range calibration.

    Thanks for all the info.

    My 540 will not respond to a "stomp test."

    Is there another way for me to find out why my check engine light keeps coming and going?

    Cheers,

    WOW, Built in speedo calibration!!!

    I never knew one could use it to calibrate the speedo.

    Does anyone have non-stock sized wheels on their e34??? Have I been missing something???? Why don't we rant and rave about this?

    Heya Shogun ... so you're saying we cannot calibrate our speedo? Damn I wish I could do that, but thanks for the codes and corrections. Good info!

    Can we "program" these new codes into our dash display to bring 'em up when we press the turn indicator stalk - so that they're always available? Just too lazy to try, so thought I'd ask.

    Australian cars do not have a possibility for a stomp test, only U.S. specification cars.
    But you can do that by adding some wires. I have once posted that.
    MOTRONIC to cluster and installing the bulb in the cluster. Wiring depends on the MOTRONIC, and not all years of production possible.
    I only have the details for the M70 V12 MOTRONIC.
