Need the .TRC file for the ABE module for 2006 Mini Cooper S. Insurance authorized repair facility that replaced module jacked mine up. Anyone want to read theirs and send me file by PM. Would be greatly appreciated. This is my second account here and have helped others here before and posted DIY how to. This is my 3rd first gen mini.

 

i got an 06 r53 i could help you out. what do i have to do to get this file to you.

 

This is greek to me, but do you mean the ABS module.
If so, it looks like some of the people on this thread might be helpful:

It's in the 2nd gen forum, but still might be helpful to pm some of the posters

 

the anti lock braking system computer. hes looking for a file thats on that device. He just needs to explain to me how to extract it for me.

 

If you have a shop with the BMW software or computer they should just be able to reprogram/recode the module. We do it all the time with used modules.

 

Personally I would call your insurance company which warranties all repairs and tell them the job was not done right. As this is a brake module which is a safety issue you don't feel confident in their abilities and want the issue resolved at a competent mechanic?

 

Thanks to everyone. I needed a trace (.TRC) from the ABS module. My Bad. Thanks to SpdDemn for letting me read the module on his '03 R53. The module and code were different because of the passenger occupancy sensor. I originally had 13 airbag codes. The person the repair guy sent it to had no clue and most everything but drivers side airbags and seat belts were not active. After comparing traces I coded the car and coded everything that was from the '03 .TRC to mine. Cleared the faults and checked again for faults. There were 3 faults still left that were obvious and recoded the car again with those 3 setting changed. Cleared the faults and check again, no faults and checked again. No air bag or seat belt lights on the dash. Test drove and no faults. Now all the airbags and seat belts the car is equipped with are active. I did not want to go back to clown who did body work and jacked up the coding. Didn't trust him to touch the car again. I didn't want to go to dealer because of issues with the OC_3 sensors, which has been taken care of. Had this not worked I would have gone to my insurance company to take the car to private Mini repair shop or the dealer. Thanks to everyone who tried to help and sorry for the confusion on the module.

 

Thanks, you would need software and a cable. I have taught myself to do this and am very happy with the results. Thank You for the offer to help

 

Are you going to MINIs on the Dragon by any chance?

 

Sorry, Eric not this year, went in '13. I have a temp job in Colorado this year and need to be there by 15 April depending on weather.
