    Default check control module - advanced course

    Just found an interesting article from 2002 which our good friend "Rainman" aka aka.. dug up about the warning bongs about brake light trouble, etc, which are there but the lights are actually o.k.

    If warning dings" or "tones or "bongs" .
    After you see/feel/hear it, same trouble
    No problem, whatever your native language/slang is, you are in trouble.
    The British (some of them) call it the mother of all bongs

    But a 'ding' can also be a small dent...

    A 'bong' is something used to smoke pot...

    A 'dong' is slang for penis...

    I'm afraid there really isn't much left in the realms of onomatopaeic expressions to describe our beloved gong sound without entering the world of double-entendres...

    Any ideas, anyone?

    Well, how about:
    "chime" - for the CCM warnings
    "pip" - for the OBC warnings (like the 3 pips from the OBC when you have the 1 hour memo initiated)

    Default Battery Drain Fuse 20 (see post below): Is It the CCM??

    Have parasitic current drain (.18a) when all is off and key out -- which had contributed to a flat battery. The drainm seems to be on Fuse 20 circuits which include the CCM and OBC and Gong (and A/c and Central locking etc etc).

    When I take out CCM, the drain reduces to a normal level (.03a). Could a CCM draw that much current...when 'ide;' ie no messages appearing on OBC? Or is it inciting the OBC to do something else and its that that causes the drain?

    I had thought the problem to be the GONG, at first, because when searching for the cause I could detect a very faint crackling-type noise from the gong. However isolating/disconnecting this completely didnt cause the parasitic drain to decrease more than about .01, maybe .02 amps.

    Does this mean the OBC's 'bad'? Do others who have had incorrect messages from the OBC also show a high parasitic drain? I do get a rogue License plate light message from time to time...

    Default Guess the only way to know, is to find a friend ...

    with an E34 and switch CCM module.

    You are right considering it may be the CCM triggering something else in Instrument cluster, a possible test would be to unplug Instrument cluster keeping CCM in, and verifying for the leak. The problem is that it is still possible that Instrument Cluster is OK and is only obeying CCM orders, so locating the leak to it, being the fact that CCM removal also stops the leak, will not be conclusive. Again, switching CCM with a known good one will definitely discard or confirm a CCM issue.
