Regarding the Message Centre IPK, perhaps there is a way involving perhaps the BMW scanner? I don't know anything about it but it can turn on the digital speedo so maybe it could be used to active the low coolant warning.
Would be interesting to try pin 10 on a very early message centre IPK e.g. from early/mid 1999.

Funnily enough, I was road testing an ECM this evening with T4 displaying the DDE live data overview, and the low coolant warning message flashed up on the message centre screen momentarily
Shame I don't know how or why, but the highline IPK has it lurking in there Brian |

As per Bolin post, I had a search around the web for BMW scanner and found lots of reference to enabling the light on low line ike, nothing so far on high line activation. |

HI Gary.
Fascinating thread following with interest, will the internal washer stand up after being in the OAT for months years, or could it become weak over time ? I presume not if these have been used in the 1.8 through side wall.

The specifications for the sensor list the switch as suitable for coolant level systems. What's the worst that can happen? It leaks and my warning light comes on at least I can tell when fluid level is low. Time will tell..................................... Last edited by Lovel; 2nd April 2017 at 08:34.. |

No spurious lights coming on. Coolant level is bang on and maintained at high mark of the tank. I still check coolant at regular intervals as I would on any vehicle, but at least if there is catastrophic failure of a hose for example while driving the early low level warning light will be triggered early on giving a high level of protection from an overheat situation. The low level warning light is right in the drivers eye line view and I believe superior to any other device such as monitoring a digital temperature gauge which is a distraction to concentrating on observing the road ahead. Just wish I had the ZCS coding to allow the highline IPK enabled lamp too |

I have just read through this. Well done that man. I may look at doing this for my early ZT. As im fitting a IPK i will have to how I can incorporate it in OE style.
Well done and Thankyou

Can I assume this will work for the V6?
I've tried your link for the sensor but nothing comes up. Last edited by maxi_crawf; 7th May 2017 at 14:49.. Reason: Addition. |
