… battery was going dead while codes were pulled, couldn’t access battery charger at the time but will try again later today if it helps, was under the impression dme and ews needed to be synced, tried to “reset sync” and it brought up a “ifh-0009 no response from control unit api job error or no such result ! Continue script processing?” And if I clicked yes the window doesn’t go away if I click no it goes back to previous diagnostics menu in INPA after selecting functional jobs/engine ->n62 for e60

Resync EWS. You need to fix your INPA then sync

S1kCowboy

is the “ifh” error for INPA ?

seanjordan20

Didn't you get that error in INPA. If so, you need to fix the issue so you can talk to the car. Either your interface is configured incorrectly or your INPA is not complete. Double check you cable also to ensure pins 7 & 8 are jumped

S1kCowboy

yes, error was in INPA. Just assumed it came from dead battery. Bought cable and setup from eBay and never touched pins on anything… on the cable or the car side of pins ?

seanjordan20

Does your cable have a selector on it either button or switch? If so click or slide it then try. Do you know if your INPA was installed correctly? Has it worked prior to with communicating with the modules other than reading codes

S1kCowboy

can check today in about an hour, how would I be able check for it ? I am new to INPA and the only thing I have been able to do yesterday was read the codes and try to do a resync

S1kCowboy

tried both sides just now, and it seems to do every other option just fine

seanjordan20

If the cable doesnt work correctly no matter what the selection is then your INPA is not installed correctly. Need to check connection settings in device manager and ensure the driver has been loaded

I was able to work past a different menu I found off an e90 post and it said INPA -> e90 (e60) -> body -> car access system and there was an option for resync ing the ews, tried it and I.o dots came up like normal I assume and it went through its whole process, turned off the car and waited 10 secs and cranked the car again but still no start
