bryan,

In order to help you, why did you think the OBC is not working properly.

LCD not displaying or some info not accurate?

Picture of the OBC problem would help to diagnose the problem.

 

[loafer]

Your description is very vague. If you explain in detail maybe we'll be able to help.

nice to know there beer lover here..hehe..
drinking carlsberg gold now.....i think it tasted better when they first launch..

my OBC, i think the calculation is not accurate...
example the outdoor temperature...
it was 2am in the morning at the OBC shows 30c on the temperature...
and i tested drive a e36 with the same OBC , when he turn on the speed button
it shows the actual acceleration speed, mine only shows the average speed ..i think.
when i active the range button..first it shows 300km..
when i trun off the engine and turn it on again..
it show 144km....

hope u guys can enlighten me...still new on a bimmer..

thankz

1. External temp - Check the external temperature sensor and make sure it's in the right spot. "The right spot" is actually on the passenger side brake cooling duct. If you look at the cooling duct there is a hole somewhere in the middle (looks like a male/female connection). Alternatively you can try swapping the temperature sensor. It could just be faulty.

2. "Speed" button - This shows the average speed, period. It can't show you the "acceleration speed" because it's not programmed to do so. Unless there's a special version of the E36 OBC somewhere out there....

3. Range - Range function is based off your consumption. That's how the OBC calculates it. Your consumption when you start the engine shouldn't differ much from right before you switch off your engine. I can't think of a reason why it would change so much.

If you need more information about the OBC, check out this link.
