TH, in E90/92 the module is behind the trim in right side trunk. What would you check on the module?

The two connectors to the module is also very solid, very little chance for issues here. You can try pulling one of the front connector and drive, this should give you a EDC error and all dampers should go completely stiff i.e harder than Sport (module gets in halt mode and stop delivering any current to the shock valves that remains completey closed). Error will go away once plugged back in. Sounds like the shock still has an issue mate. Was it a brand new you changed for? |

According to documents I've red, should a sensore go bust (there is also a steering angel sensor input), the module sets itself in "half halt" with a mid drive current output settings the dampers "half stiff". No adapting/current adjustment will occur at this stage. Cheers |

So i find the stupid solution.
According to the error code it was a probleme with the shocks. I changed the shocked but forget to erase the faulty code. Now everything works good. I have to made a test drive to confirm but i let run the car for 1/2 hour, play with the switch and Mdrive mode and the error don't come back. ( i don't drive because i fix my performance rear spoiler today) Thx for help guys Last edited by THiBL; 11-23-2016 at 09:35 AM.. |

The EDC module only start to work after you start drive and pass like 3mph, before this it doesn't generate any current for the dampers (2/1.6/0.8 ampere in comfort/normal/sport). I.e. it is only at this point possible fault codes comes up.

Pulling one damper (connector) will give you a general "EDC fault" message in the iDrive soon as you start. Hence as you're message specifically stated rear damper (or was the scanned code only that told you?), I'm tempted to say it can't be a simple wire issue. No idea what the damper base an individual code, on which seems to be the case here. Should I continue to guess, it seems strange if it is the module, would have thought you'd get a general error in that case (also the module have only two output drive stages, one per front/rear. So again if you get a message for ONE of the rears, it wouldn't make sense). EDIT: One more thing you could test that may tell you a bit more about whether the module is gone or not; Some faults for instance sensors, apparently set the module in "half stiff" i.e. fixed output current regardless of mode somewhere between 1-2amps. This is fairly easy to measure hooking up a amp meter on one of the front connectors. Again, if you unplug a damper the module will turn off to 0 current (and generate "EDC failure"). I'm not sure how the module react to a plugged in but broken damper. For further background here's a video I've done during my own fault tracking. As you can see its 0 current while stand still, to after a few mph start up, with 2A in comfort, 1.6A i Normal and 0.8A in Sport. Cheers Last edited by Helmsman; 11-29-2016 at 09:28 AM.. |

Assuming you refer to the accel.sensor, on the E90/E92 its the piece just above the EDC module. There are two similar in each front fenders. I don't think they correlate to front/rear damper issue, but measure the shassi movement.
