BMW Fault Code (DIS/MoDIC)
- BMW Codes are stored as soon they occur even before the "Malfunction Indicator Light" comes on.
- BMW Codes are defined by BMW and Siemens Engineers to provide greater detail to fault specific information.
- Siemens systems - one set of four fault specific environmental conditions are stored with the first fault occurrence. This information can change and is specific to each fault code to aid in diagnosing. A maximum of ten different faults containing four environmental conditions can be stored.
- BMW Codes also store and displays a "time stamp" when the fault last occurred.
- A fault qualifier gives more specific detailed information about the type of fault (upper limit, lower limit, disconnection, plausibility, etc.).
- BMW Fault Codes will alert the Technician of the current fault status. He/she will be advised if the fault is actually still present, not currently present or intermittent. The fault specific information is stored and accessible through DISplus/MoDIC.
- BMW Fault Codes determine the diagnostic output for BMW DISplus/MoDIC.
