Today I’m going to show you how to reset the adaptations for variable camshaft timing control on a 2009 R56 Mini Cooper by using Foxwell NT530 scanner.
The device we used is Foxwell NT510 Elite, but Foxwell NT530 BMW also supports the same function for the same car.
Step-by-step guide:
Insert the original key into the car, and press Start/Stop button
Take the OBD2 plug of the foxwell scanner and plug it into the OBD2 port of the car underneath your dash
When you plug it in, you will see it loads and the main menu displays.
Then select BMW-> Mini-> SmartVIN
It’ll read the VIN number correctly.
Then confirm the vehicle info read out
After loading the data, select “Service”-> “Drive”-> “Motor Electronics”
You’ll see three options: Adjustment, OBD readiness codes and activation/deactivation terminal 15
Here we select “Adjustment” to do
Then select “Clear adaptations”
Select “DME Delete adaptation variable camshaft timing control”
Read the instruction to delete adaptation carefully
- Shift selector lever to P position
- Secure and lock, vehicle
The vehicle must be secured to prevent it rolling in the following tests.
Drive stage P must be engaged on automatic transmission vehicles.
Then select “Rest adaptation values”
Pay attention to the note as below.
The following adaptations are not deleted in the next test step.
- Adaptation, battery replacement
- Adaptation, variable camshaft timing control (VANOS)
- Adaptation, stops and minimum lift, Valvetronic
If necessary, carry out corresponding service function after this test module…
Press “OK” to reset adaptation
The adaptation values have been successfully reset!
Switch off terminal 15 and terminal R, wait 15 seconds until the reset adaptation values are stored in the DME
Then switch on terminal 15, leave ignition switched on for at least 10 seconds.
OK! That’s the whole operation guide of reset adaptations by Foxwell NT510 Elite/ NT530.
Have fun!
