i was wondering if someone has here has come across this particular issue and has any tips or recommendations.
i have an early 06 E60 The engine cranks strong, I get fuel to the fuel rail, I checked all fuses in the trunk and in the glove box. I haven't checked the relay for the DME yet, will plan to do that this weekend. When I hook up my laptop to the OBD2 port it shows no communication with the DME. This all happened after a long cold winter last year and the battery went flat. After charging and recovering the battery the 1st issue that popped up is the ELV was acting up and woudnt unlock the steering wheel. im guessing somehow that got out of sync with the CAS module and I eventually got it to start responding again. But it still wouldn't start. now with the wheel unlocked i moved the trans into neutral so i could drag the car into my driveway from my front yard and look at it. Anyway long story short I have had the battery out of the car now for a few months and I decided to start looking into the issue again. I have checked all the ground straps I could see and checked continuity between both sides of each strap. I am wondering if there is something simple I'm over looking. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
