No brake can bus signal

Post by Armin »

Hello, I have a BMW E38 from 1996. As it stands, I don't have a can bus signal from my brake light switch. I'd like to grab that from the brake light now. Is it a problem if the light module makes cold light query? And I cant get it from brake switch because it's a hall Transmitter.
Regards

While it may be ok. There is potencial for that bulb check to have a detrimental effect or potencially effect a shift in the transmission.

I know the e53 chassis doesnt do the bulb check on the centre stop light. Are you able to check if its the same on the e38? Hopefully that doesnt get the bulb check and you can use that as your brake pedal signal.
