Motronic Version

[Seeker <rfg@xxxxxxx>]

    I went to a site where they show - "Procedure for Acquiring Flash Codes
from your BMW".

    It began with this - Note: Your BMW must have Motronic version 1.1 or
higher. Motronic 1.0 cars do not have self diagnostic flash code capability
(as evidenced by the lack of a Check Engine light.
    
    It also had the page - BMW Digital Motor Electronics Application Guide.

    Alas, the story of my life: my specific BMW model was not listed:  92
525i, E34, M50.  The only 92 525i listed was a 525iT, whatever that is.

    When I tried to follow the instructions, below, nothing happened.

II. Sit in the driver's seat.

III.    Turn the ignition to the On position, but do not start the car.

IV.    Immediately depress the accelerator fully and release fully 5 times
in quick succession.

V.    Wait a couple of seconds.

VI.    The Check Engine light will flash once, then start to blink. All
codes are comprised of 4 digits. The number of blinks corresponds to the
fault code. For example, ON, pause, ON ON, pause, ON ON, pause, ON ON, off
would be a 1222. 

VII.    Each four digit code will be flashed sequentially. When the codes
start to repeat, all stored codes have been displayed.

VIII.    Turn the ignition Off.

    Will this in fact work on my model?  Am I doing something wrong?


    Many thanks,
