This seems like to be the most popular EDC failure thread, so I'd like to share my experience with everyone.
I bought a 2011 M3 a month and a half ago, and when it arrived (had it shipped from Texas) it was showing a EDC failure. After some digging and reading on here I determined the code I was getting (600A - EEPROM error) was related to an internal EDC module issue. I bought a used module off of a member here and installed it a few hours ago. I am now error free. I guess these failures are pretty common!

Got this message recently...
![]() I ran codes with my Carly app, and the following showed up: ![]() So... can anyone comment based on the code? Module? Strut?

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ALREADY REPLACED THEIR EDC MODULE -
Last week I swapped a new EDC module in, and the "electronic damper malfunction" error message disappeared. However, I stopped getting functionality from the actual EDC button. Even in M mode none of the lights illuminate. I even had the module coded to the car. Any suggestions?

Zeus, did you check the shock connectors on the top? Easy on the fronts and they can slip out a little bit which gives this error.

Good morning gents!
I have recently experienced the increased battery discharge fault code with the follow on EDC malfunction. The car is currently at the dealer and I am waiting on a response from BMW N/A to see if they are going to fix at no charge. The car went in for battery and air bag recall and they discovered the EDC was draining the battery. I was reading thru the post and apparently their is a link with a FIY instructions/video? |

Yes!
It’s been a real experience dealing with them and the stealership. The stealership quoted me $1,500 just for the part. I am hoping that since the car is still the shop for the recalls I can get them to cover the EDC. The is a 2011 and only has 16,000 miles. Otherwise I will purchase from My Bimmer parts.com at $697. Still sucks! ![]() The EDC malfunction seems to be a reoccurring issue along with the engine bearings. Have you gotten those replaced? |

EndOfAnEra,
Did you figure out what was going on with your EDC install and the activation buttons? Who coded the module to the car, the dealer or yourself? |

When my EDC module started draining the battery, I bought a used one off of eBay for $100. Replacement module has worked perfectly in the 4 years since. I did not code it, may have gotten lucky there were no issues. There are a couple on eBay now for $100 and $150.
Easy swap once you pull the carpet back in the boot.

Roger!
I did see one on eBay for about $250. It came off a 2008 convertible, but it had a different PN. So I am cross-referring (realoem) to ensure it will work. BPM also has some for about $450. I am trying to remaining optimistic that BMW of N/A will replace at no charge. |

Ended up replacing the EDC-K module but the microchip might have failed (erroneous data from the module, such as 330,000 kilometers when I only have 22K miles on it). |

Well,
Received notification from BMW N/A and they are going to cover part of the EDC cost and part of labor cost. My out the door cost is $300 + tax. Not a bad deal for a new installed EDC. ![]() |

My independent mechanic thoroughly checked all connectors. Everything looked good. He reset the fault code but it recurred almost immediately. While this EDC issue was occurring, I took my car in to the dealership to have the airbag replaced under recall. When I got the car back, the error message was gone and hasn't returned (over a month ago). The ONLY explanation we are able to come up with is that something was "reset" when the techs disconnected the battery to perform the airbag swap. Very strange, but car drives normally now, EDC works as before and no more warnings. Seems that the car needed a reboot ![]()

Rod bearings
That's great news Zeus69. Ok, moving on to the next issue. Does anyone know of a good independent shop around Cincinnati, OH that can perform the rod bearing swap?

I was hoping someone could shed some light. I've been battling this "600A EEPROM - FEHLER control module, internal fault" error for my edc. I literally bought a brand new module from BMW after initially trying a couple used ones from eBay. I cannot use the edc button to toggle between the 3 settings but it works fine via the M button and iDrive to adjust between comfort/normal/sport. I can feel the difference and know it's working properly when I switch the modes
Of note: The night it stopped working was the same night I did the combox retrofit. This is the coding I followed and default coded the appropriate modules. My test drive was fine, no errors on dash but I don't remember using EDC at that time. It was more of a general test to make sure the car started and there were no codes after coding lol. Later that night, I went out and noticed the button wasn't working, still there were no errors on the dash or thru obd. Then I came home and reset the car completely back to stock, in terms of coding only, the combox was and is still installed. Then I tried to pull codes and still nothing was showing (except now for the SOS and LCI taillight errors because it was stock coding). The button still was not working despite the stock coding. Then I drove another 5 miles or so and finally the EDC error on dash popped up and then the 600A when I checked Tonight, after installing the new module from BMW (via fcp euro) I reset the vin to my car. It was set to something like "xyxxx" I don't remember the exact default vin but it was a bunch of letters. Then I made sure it matched my car and I default coded it after and still the same problem. I will let the car sit overnight and actually start it and drive it tomorrow and see I still think the combox was a coincidence as it wouldn't make sense on why the EDC would stop but should I switch it back to the mulf/tcu and see? About ready to give up and take it to the dealer. My Indy shop checked with ISTA and said the EDC module wasn't getting power and ISTA's only suggestion was to replace the module. The 2 wiring harnesses both looked fine and it's never been touched from what I could tell, the area looked dry and pristine Last edited by Reddevils7; 01-08-2025 at 05:54 AM.. |
