I checked multiple BMW tools on Amazon.com.
For some tools the seller in "Community questions" section explicitly states that it won't be able to re-calibrate E83 transfer case after fluid change. Like this one - "DIAGKING BMW INPA K+DCAN with FT232RL NCS Coding Winkfp Tool32 Programing" - https://www.amazon.com/DIAGKING-FT23...king+bmw&psc=1
So I checked the more expensive tool from the same seller, like "DIAGKING 001 INPA K+DCAN Diagnostic Cable Work with ISTA SSS NCS Coding Winkfp Programing E serials(with Switch) Support E39 E46 Compatible for BMW" and just asked seller privately if it would allow to reset transfer case. Seller replied that he is not sure.
So my #1 question is: For what specific thing in tool description I have to look at to know whether it will allow me to reset transfer case?
My #2 question is, since I have non-BMW cars too in household, then I may be ok to buy more expensive Autel tool. But then again which Autels allows to re-calibrate transfer case? |
Sorry to answer your question with a question... but what happens if you don't recalibrate the transfer case post fluid swap?
