EWS problem.
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2021 10:21 am
Just fitted a M52TUB28 into an E30. This is the second E30 I have done this swap to and all went fine the first time.
The first time I deleted the EWS and all was well. This time I thought I might leave the EWS in place and try and get it to work.
The car started and ran well although there was a strange starting thing: Once the car had run you had to completely remove the key with EWS chip from the pickup ring for at least 10 seconds for the car to crank and start.
We went on a couple of shake down runs and all seemed well. However after the last run the car would not start. It cranks but will not start.
Relevant fault codes are 128 DME - EWS interface and 209 EWS Tamper protection. Can anybody shed any light on this please?
I suspect that the EWS is unhappy at having no instrument cluster but am not sure.
Thanks,
Jon.
