To reset the ELV you have to use the “ EDIABAS ToolSet 32“, connected to the car via OBDII with the same k+dcan cable of INPA and NCS Expert.Ĭonnect the cable to the OBDII Port, insert the key and press start button (don’t start the car, only ignition ON). I’m assuming this because after my steering column was locked and I had towed my car to an indy shop, the mechanic was able to unlock it by “resetting” something.īTW, this counter reset worked for me, but as with any advice you find on the Internet, you do this at your own risk. This procedure may even unlock the locked steering column with red warning light, but I haven’t had the red light since I performed the DIY. Load CAS.prg in ToolSet32 and run the commands “steuern_elvcounter_cas_loeschen” and “steuern_elvcounter_elv_loeschen”. The count is stored in the CAS and needs to be cleared in CAS and ELV. This counter can be reset using EDIABAS ToolSet32.

Apparently the ELV has an internal counter that causes the yellow (and red?) warning light to display. If you have completed this DIY and still get that pesky yellow warning light, I found a way to clear it (credits to Micha from the German ). Yesterday i found the solution and works fine on my car, a R56 non-s 2008. Then, my ELV works fine but i have a RED %(#))$ light every time on my dashboard, every day, every morning. When you use a bad battery (low voltage) the ELV works but indicate an error to the CAS module. So, what is going on? The CAS module has a counter, when this counter exceed the max, a RED warning light come up. The RED warning indicate that my ELV (Steering lock) was working bad, but my ELV was working well without problems. HOW TO: Reset ELV counter, Steering lock RED warning… Personal experience for sharing.ġ year ago i received a RED warning on my dashboard after using my car for some days with a bad battery (ultra low voltage).
