BMW X5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW X5 E70 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Control unit
Operation: How do you reset the BMW X5 ECU?

In order to reset the control unit of the BMW X5 it is necessary to completely disassemble the car battery, removing it from its housing inside the engine compartment. Subsequently, it will be necessary to connect the positive pole of the battery to another battery: this will serve to ensure that even the residual energies stored in the battery are removed, leaving it completely without energy. In this way, the completely discharged battery can be installed in the car again and since it will be devoid of energy, all errors inside the control unit will be cleared by resetting it.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
