Monitoring Function: CPU-Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW M6, 2010 BMW M5, 2009 BMW M6, 2009 BMW M5, and 2008 BMW M6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All the used arithmetic functions, interpolation routines and filters are checked continuously of both processors. If the calculated results are different, they calculate the same test again. If it is different a second time, the fault code "SG intern Ueberwachung Ebene 2 - Systemfehler" (P1602) is generated.

A second way to check the processor is to store critical variables with there complement. If they are inconsistent, the fault code is set as well.
