[quote=""storminmike""][quote=""Sanj""][quote=""x555""]If i ever get around to updating my intravee so's it will scan the pdc's[/quote]

Oi! That's top secret at the minute! Or was! :lol:[/quote]

Is there not a PC bit of software and cables available to diagnose faults like this?[/quote]
I have the bmw scaner 1.4.0 and it wouldn't recognize the faulty pdc on several attempts but then come up with the front right center a few times so changed that.But now it won't recognize any faults with the pdc's :headbang:
It has been great with other scans and very helpfull when diagnosing problems but not so accurate with the pdc's i'm afraid :(

I bet that cost a few bob :o

maybe the PDC issue is so prevalent that BMW have banned non dealer scanning?
