Seems my post didn't take or something.

I replaced the solenoids on my '07 R56 base. I now need to reset the shift adaptations. I was told that can be done in Bimmer Code, but I can't find that, and I'm thinking maybe it's Bimmer Link. Or can I just disconnect the battery for a bit?

 

I had to buy a new Foxwell NT530 scanner to reset adaptations. ~$160.

I had their older NT510 but it didn’t have that ability. I just reset adaptations today. A strange process.

This came from another thread.
*********After the CVT gear ratio adaptations are deleted, perform a complete transmission "teach-in" procedure, as follows:



Clutch adaptation:

1. Press and hold the brake pedal. Start the cold engine.

2. During a cold start warm-up phase (idle speed is slightly increased), shift from P to N for 10 seconds, and then shift to D for 10 seconds. XP will be displayed in the instrument cluster.

3. Repeat the following sequence 10 times: shift from P to N for 3 seconds, and then shift to D for 3 seconds. XP will be displayed in the instrument cluster.

4. Repeat the following sequence 10 times: shift from P to N for 3 seconds, and then shift to R for 3 seconds. XP will be displayed in the instrument cluster.



Gear ratio adaptation:

1. Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 50 mph. Release the accelerator pedal and allow the vehicle to coast down to a stop. The transmission adapts itself when going through 4,500 rpm, 4,000 rpm...and 1,400 rpm engine speeds. P will be displayed now in the instrument cluster.

2. With the engine at the operating temperature (idle speed stabilized at 800 rpm), repeat Clutch Adaptation steps 3 and 4.

3. Turn the ignition off.



Important:



Wait for at least 10 mins. before possible disconnection from the battery and/or DME engine control module.

 

BTW, when doing the coast down part, it will say xD mode and act like it wants to stay in first; however, it will shift up at about 40 mph and near redline.

And maybe, it seems that mine stayed in xD mode until it was happy with the coast downs, and then it changed by itself to D (not xD test mode).

Good luck,
Peter
