HOW TO: Reset ELV counter. Steering lock RED warning
First of all, sorry about my bad english, i'm spanish native.
Second, 1 year ago i received a RED warning on my dashboard after using my car for some days with a bad battery (ultra low voltage). The RED warning indicate that my ELV (Steering lock) was working bad, but my ELV was working well without problems.
So, what is going on? The CAS module has a counter, when this counter exceed the max, a RED warning light come up. When you use a bad battery (low voltage) the ELV works but indicate an error to the CAS module.
Then, my ELV works fine but i have a RED %(#))$ light every time on my dashboard, every day, every morning. Yesterday i found the solution and works fine on my car, a R56 non-s 2008. Credits to: "korell" on e90post.com (http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=483387&page=4)
To reset the ELV you have to use the "EDIABAS ToolSet 32", connected to the car via OBDII with the same cable of INPA and NCS Expert.
Connect the cable to the OBDII Port, insert the key and press start button (don't start the car, only ignition ON). Open the software EDIABAS ToolSet 32.
On the menu, select File -> "Load SGBD, Group File F3"
Look for "Cas.prg" on the file list.
Look on the Job list the name: "steuern_elvcounter_cas_loeschen" and "steuern_elvcounter_elv_loeschen". Double click on each one, and wait for a window, it says "Job Done" on the bottom.
DONE!, no more RED Light Steering lock issue.
Note: only works if your ELV works fine, and you have this issue because you didn't replace your baterry on time and wait some months for it, like me =(.

If your lock works fine, you only have to follow my instructions.

Can the Schwaben BMW/MINI scan tool reset and clear the Car Access System (CAS) module counter as described in the How-To? The Schwaben scan tool is pictured in the How-To.
