The power-assisted steering is working, but the DSC is not fully functional (although ABS is still operational). Program the vehicle with ISTA\/P 2.51.2 (target I-Level F020-13-11-502), or a more recent version.<\/p>\n<p>Scenario 5: (No communication with the EPS possible)<br \/>\nThe vehicle cannot communicate with the EPS (not accessible using diagnostics). Disconnect the battery for at least ten minutes and then reconnect it. The EPS is then accessible again. Then program the vehicle using ISTA\/P 2.52.0 (target I-Level F020-14-03-502), or a more recent version.<\/p>\n<p>Scenario 6: (0x4823EE and 0x4823C2)<br \/>\nPerform the \u201cStarting Steering\u201d test plan (AT3244_EPS_ZF1_INBTR) from the Service Functions and then switch the ignition off and on again. Read the fault code memory again, and then clear it. Do not replace the EPS unit for this condition.<\/p>\n<p>Note that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.obd2tool.com\/category-234-b0-BMW+Diagnostic+Tools.html\">ISTA\/P<\/a> will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
