BMW and MINI FEM repairs - Front Electronic Module
Front electronic module (FEM) module failure is a common problem in BMW and MINI vehicles. The FEM module enables your vehicle to start. If faulty, the car typically won’t crank and no start signal will be generated.
The FEM module is an important module in BMW and MINI vehicles for two reasons. Firstly, it functions as an anti-theft system in your vehicle. For the vehicle to start the FEM, key, and the engine control unit (ECU or DME) need to be in sync.
Secondly, the FEM stores the vehicle order (VO). The VO is essentially the coding that knows and controls all the car’s features, similar to the DNA of a human. It has information about the type of transmission, extra features, VIN, engine type, etc.
Typical signs of a faulty front electronic module in BMW and MINI vehicles include:
- No vehicle crank
- Vehicle not accepting the key
- Vehicle starts and stalls
- Yellow ELV steering lock on the dash
Once the FEM module fails, it will either require a repair or replacement unit. Repairs can typically be performed if the software on the unit is corrupt, which is often caused by failed software updates or when adding additional keys with incorrect tools. If there is physical hardware damage to the unit, potentially from water or another force or decay, it will likely require a replacement FEM unit.
Regardless of the type of failure, the ECU Pro can offer you a repair service at a fraction of the OEM repair price. It is recommended that you first send your FEM for testing services. Once we have determined what is wrong with the unit, we will recommend either a repair or replacement FEM module.
To get the process started, simply send us your BMW or MINI FEM, KEY, and DME / ECU. Upon checkout, detailed removal instructions will be provided for your vehicle.
