Introduction to Advanced Body Electronics: byteflight: Diagnosis
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 59 other vehicles, including the 2009 BMW M5, 2009 BMW 650i, 2009 BMW 550i, 2008 BMW M5, and 2008 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Diagnosis of the byteflight is carried out using the Diagnosis Program. Since the byteflight is a star structure and not a continuous ring like the MOST there is a test module "Data transmission to the satellites" that can check communication between each satellite and the SIM module.
Any satellite that does not respond must then be checked individually using a separate Test Module.
Repairs to the byteflight fiber-optic cable are not permitted. However, complete cables between the SIM and the affected satellites may be replaced.
