D4 CV Joint Failure ????

As said many times...

A diagnostic device (IID) for a modern vehicle is as essential as pliers, spanners etc.

In BMs case, it's now paid for itself in full...
No Flatbed ride hundreds of kilometres, no loss of vehicle use during that time, no diagnostic charges from dealer..

On top of that:
CCF editing - got that Global close working yet BM?
ECU remapping
And best of all, quickly read the vehicle and can have all ECUs (20+) updated to the latest firmware revisions quickly and effectively.

It's about time that I updated my tool-kit to include a tool that supports TC and e-diff calibrating especially as I will need to calibrate an e-diff shortly.

So perhaps the clutch solenoid engaging on start-up is actually normal but the extent of clutch locking was not.
From memory, pre-arming e-diff is normally 30 or 40% but for some reason it was going to fully locked on Brian's.
What does the sensor actually read?

The sensor is to sense the range position - high or low.

In regards to IIDTOOL ECU updates, I purchased the Fast Lane update for the Terrain Response ECU for my 2010 D4, updating it to the latest D4 code. Winner!

Yep - Global Close is working.

I also enabled "Retractable Running Boards", but that function doesn't seem to be working. :p

Hi

I did a quick search and came up with 0 (poor user skills, I imagine)...

What is the Fast Lane update you purchased? From who/where?

Thanks.

Just to clarify, are you saying that you have loaded the latest (ie MY16) optimised traction control algorithms etc onto your MY10?

Any idea if the Nanocom can do the same gearbox calibrations?
