my friends 1992 520i needed servicing so we did it as it was a cheap car. he later went on to look on a website for ways to reset serv/insp lights and tried bridging 7/14/19 in the inspection socket wich clearly didnt work. any1 with ideas what has happened and how to fix it your help would be great cheers
There must be a million articles out there on how to do this.
But all you need to do is ground pin 11 then switch on the ignition without starting the engine. Then turn off when the oil service lights re-set. To re-set the inspection light leave on longer.
ITS NOT HOW TO RESET LIGHTS THE CAR WONT START ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO GET IT SORTED
IVE BEEN TOLD THIS PROBLEM COULD BE A FUEL CUT OFF ANY IDEAS ON WHERE IT COULD BE ON A 1992 520I CHEERS
You've probably f**cked something up, then. Seek professional help.
IVE BEEN TOLD ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IF ANY1 OUT THERE KNOWS WHAT IT IS AND/OR HOW TO SORT IT GIVE US A SHOUT CHEERS
You're on your own with this one, Dave.
Or spend a tenner getting a reset tool from euro car parts. I use one as it saves the danger of grounding the wrong pins by accident!
Symptoms? Does it turn over and not catch or is it totally dead?
THIS GUY IS CLEARLY A FOOL! caps, no details as to if it cranks or not... troll? or just a fool? join here and search till u turn blue liney
Have you fried the ECU by sticking volts into the wrong pins?
No need to YELL. You did not make it clear what the trouble is.
As Dave said, there are tons of websites out there that give the procedure. He goes on to say Pin 11, but I think this is an error.
In any case, you do not seem interested in the right way to reset the lights as much as you want to know what the recovery operation is after doing it wrong.
It sounds like in your stupidity you managed to blow the computer to smitherings, if so then you are pretty much on your own.
Worse yet, it sounds like he did it to a friend's car.

It should be 7 & 19.
