CGPRO Cannot Erase 35160wt?

BMW cluster eeprom 35160WT. Using dedicated adapter and when writing new kilometers into two first lines operation goes into 95% and then CG Pro says “Erase failed”. How can i get this through? Why i cannot erase BMW cluster 35160wt using cg pro?

CGPRO Cannot Erase 35160wt?

Solution:

Solution:

It says it supports most. Not all, so it doesn’t work on all of them.

Only some erase most don’t.  We have erased successfully on 5 series 2015 digital cluster and X1 CAS3 2010 35080 clusters.

This chip has 50% to erase success (and the mileage lower than 800,000 KM ), if it fails to erase, it has two ways to help you try again. you can try to initialize your device, password: cgkj982634187236 . or try another way to heat your chip (contact CGDI technician if you are interested).

On this chip you can read, but can’t write. You must replace it with something like on link https://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/xhorse-35160dw-chip-for-vvdi-prog.html

xhorse 35160dw chip

Faster to just replace it with xhorse chip and they are not expensive. just 17-21$ and you just read and straight replace in 5 minutes.  This job can also be done by Yanhua emulator. Check: How to Change M35XXX Mileage using Yanhua 35160 35080 Emulator

I normally just erase and write 080 but have an issue with a defender where mileage keeps going back to where I set it after ignition cycle (think a file issue really rather than chip). Thought would try a fresh chip, couldn’t write that Xhorse chip with cgdi. Tried again with a mini just to see but same thing wrote a load of shite. Making the changes manually in VVDI prog worked fine though.

CG100 Repair Porsche Cayenne BCM Lithium Battery

After a severe accident or battery voltage too low, Porsche Cayenne 12V lithium battery turns to protection mode and cannot be charged which will cause the vehicle to fail to start. It takes a lot to replace the new battery.

How to solve Battery Discharge Protection problem in the cheapest way?

 

Here is the tutorial on reflashing BCM lithium battery module with cg100 prog iii programmer to disable protection mode and recover the battery.

Lithium battery parameter information

There is a label on the front of the battery, which is marked with parameter information such as number, voltage, current and production date.

Measure battery voltage

When the battery is not disassembled, we use a multimeter to measure the battery voltage, which is 0V, which means there is no voltage output, and the battery cannot be charged, that means the current cannot be input.

Remove the battery case

CG100 Repair Porsche Cayenne BCM Lithium Battery 4

Measure battery voltage again

CG100 Repair Porsche Cayenne BCM Lithium Battery 5

After opening the battery case, the voltage is still 0V, without voltage output.

Measure voltage bypass the relay

Note that the relay is connected in series in the positive direction, we bypass the relay and continue to measure the voltage. At this time, the multimeter shows 1.92V, indicating that the battery has voltage, but it is blocked by the relay.

Locate IC chip

You can see the IC chip when you open the upper case of the battery. This chip controls the operation of the entire battery. It is produced by Freescale and the model is SPC5644BMLU8.

Battery Relay function:

The relay is controlled by the BCM. When the vehicle collides or the battery voltage is too low and enters the protection mode, the BCM cuts off the connection between the battery cell and the external battery terminal through the relay, so as to avoid battery over-discharge and cause danger or battery damage. The battery cannot be charged or discharged.

Press ‘Write
Write PFLASH
Verify Pflash
Write DFLASH
Verify DFLASH
CG100 software will operate automatically, just wait for 10 minutes.

Note: CG100 software comes with new pflash & dflash data for 2018-2020 Porsche Cayenne and auto write new data to the BCM battery.

After repair, test voltage again.

Connect voltage with an external voltage regulator

Bypass the relay and charge the battery with a precision regulated charger, measuring the voltage as it charges.

CG100 Repair Porsche Cayenne BCM Lithium Battery 19

Note: Digitally controlled adjustable power supply can be used for charging, the output mode can be adjusted to constant current output, first use a small current for charging (recommended below 3A), when the battery is charged to more than 12V, it can be charged with a large current until the battery is fully charged Calibration voltage.

Charge to regular voltage (12V)

remove the charger when the battery is charged to about 12V

CG100 Repair Porsche Cayenne BCM Lithium Battery 20

Reinstall battery, measure the voltage again

CG100 Repair Porsche Cayenne BCM Lithium Battery 21

Battery is charged. Install battery case, tighten the screws.
Measure voltage again, 11.92V.
Repair battery succeeded.

NOTE:
It is recommended to charge for one hour after being installed to the vehicle with a high-power charger.
