SUBJECT
Retrofitting New Style Hydraulic Top Motor

MODEL
E46 Convertible produced prior to 9/01

SITUATION

E46 Convertibles produced prior to 9/01 had a hydraulic top motor with two solenoid valves, and later production motors have only one solenoid valve. The early style motor (part number 54 34 0 148 392) is no longer available as a replacement part, and the EPC shows that it has been superseded to the late style motor, part number 54 34 7 025 595, which can be used in conjunction with an adapter harness, part number 54 34 7 076 030. Once the new style motor and adapter harness have been installed, the convertible top control module (CVM) must be recoded to recognize the new hardware.

PROCEDURE

Recode the CVM using the following path:
^ ZCS Coding
^ E46
