Problem with BMW E46 320 2002 Year,
The indicators and hazzard warning flashers work but do not illuminate on the Instrument Cluster, niether does the High Beam warning light. The Radio also showed disabled after being unpluged. The Radio came back on after touching the K Bus wire with an Earth test lamp. But the other problem remains after running a test the fault codes 87 K bus & 6, 9, 0, be show but no description.
Intermittant communication possible LKM.

Can anybody help with this please?

Hi Chris,
I have a similiar problem on my 03 Zed4. The indicators, fogs, hazards work but the indicator does not display or relay the information (i.e. Ins Cluster kaputten ). On top of this i have the SRS & SES lights on. Are your symptons w.r.t the SRS light the sa,e.

Anyway the errors i got are :

EWS Interface : DME
BSD Generator Signal
K Bus Fault (shorted to ground or Battery +ve)
EEPROM error in LCM

so in short, a short in the circuit, due to current jump. The trick is to find out why & where.

No the fault i have i'm sure is with the LKM or a problem on the K bus line. I can get all the lights on the cluster to work when putting it in diagnostic mode.
The problem now has become an intermittant one, not permanent. Aparrently when the Car is warm the fault sometimes goes away.
I'm still looking to find the problem, so if any one can help.

light control module bad , if you change to a new one you will need the dealer to code it , or you can fix the old one and you dont need to code it .

Hi CJ,
I did some more research and the IKE & the LCM are in the K-Bus line. Apparently a reset of the LCM EEPROM would correct the issue. If os is there a quick way to do this.
