37 10 001 Start-up with test run of Dynamic Drive (EPS steering gear)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW M6, 2017 BMW 650i xDrive, 2017 BMW 650i, 2017 BMW 640i xDrive, and 2017 BMW 640i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The Service function start-up of Dynamic Drive must be carried out after:
  • Work on the Dynamic Drive system which involved opening hydraulic lines
  • Replacing/programming/encoding Dynamic Drive control unit (ICM-V-High)
IMPORTANT: Adhere to the utmost cleanliness. Do not allow any dirt to enter the hydraulic system.
Using contaminated auxiliary materials to add fluid may introduce dirt particles into the oil reservoir and significantly reduce the service life of ARS. Do not use any filler funnels or similar!
Use only Pentosin CHF11S from original containers!
The fill level may only be checked or adjusted when the engine is stopped! Adjust fluid level if possible in middle between 20° and 80° C.
Ensure that the cap is fully screwed in prior to the fill level check.
NOTE: To avoid mix-ups when filling with hydraulic fluid, mark the fluid reservoirs or their caps with identification marks.

CHF Pentosin CHF11S

Bleeding hydraulic circuit: 

  1. Thoroughly clean oil reservoir and its immediate surrounding area with lid closed
  2. Top up hydraulic fluid or set fluid level correctly.
    NOTE: The fill level is dependent on the oil temperature. Check fill level at an oil temperature between 20° and 80°C.

    With engine at normal operating temperature, do not exceed "MAX" marking of 80°C (1).

    Do not drop below "Min. marking 20°C"(2).

    Hydraulic fluid: See INTEGRATED SUSPENSION SYSTEMS - OPERATING FLUIDS .

  3. Start engine, run briefly and then switch off.
  4. Check and correct fill level with engine stopped

Performing start-up with test run: 

WARNING: Danger of injury!
Vehicle executes heavy rolling motions during start-up! Therefore observe the following specifications without fail:
  • Do not allow any persons to remain in the vehicle or directly on the vehicle
  • Keep the vehicle doors closed.
  • Maintain a safety distance around the vehicle of 1 meter to persons, objects, walls etc.
  • Vehicle must be standing horizontally with all wheels on a firm surface
  • Do not under any circumstances carry out start-up on a vehicle hoist, wheel alignment analyser or similar!
  • Avoid heavy loads
  1. Check load; if necessary, remove load from the vehicle
  2. Bring engine up to operating temperature
  3. Connect the BMW diagnosis system to the vehicle.
  4. Start start-up in SERVICE FUNCTIONS. Follow instructions in Diagnosis and Information System.
  5. Check fluid level again with engine stationary and if necessary top up oil to 80° mark.
