HOW TO: Reset ELV counter, Steering lock RED warning… Personal experience for sharing.

Here is the educational tutorial on installing BMW INPA/EDIABAS diagnostic software on Windows 10 64-bit. Disclaimer: You are at your risk.
1 year ago i received a RED warning on my dashboard after using my car for some days with a bad battery (ultra low voltage). The RED warning indicate that my ELV (Steering lock) was working bad, but my ELV was working well without problems.
So, what is going on? The CAS module has a counter, when this counter exceed the max, a RED warning light come up. When you use a bad battery (low voltage) the ELV works but indicate an error to the CAS module.
Then, my ELV works fine but i have a RED %(#))$ light every time on my dashboard, every day, every morning. Yesterday i found the solution and works fine on my car, a R56 non-s 2008.

How to clear yellow warning light
If you have completed this DIY and still get that pesky yellow warning light, I found a way to clear it (credits to Micha from the German e60-forum.de). Apparently the ELV has an internal counter that causes the yellow (and red?) warning light to display. This counter can be reset using EDIABAS ToolSet32. The count is stored in the CAS and needs to be cleared in CAS and ELV. Load CAS.prg in ToolSet32 and run the commands “steuern_elvcounter_cas_loeschen” and “steuern_elvcounter_elv_loeschen”.
This procedure may even unlock the locked steering column with red warning light, but I haven’t had the red light since I performed the DIY. I’m assuming this because after my steering column was locked and I had towed my car to an indy shop, the mechanic was able to unlock it by “resetting” something.
BTW, this counter reset worked for me, but as with any advice you find on the Internet, you do this at your own risk. Bonjour
”
To reset the ELV you have to use the “EDIABAS ToolSet 32“, connected to the car via OBDII with the same k+dcan cable of INPA and NCS Expert.
Connect the cable to the OBDII Port, insert the key and press start button (don’t start the car, only ignition ON). Open the software EDIABAS ToolSet 32.
On the menu, select File -> “Load SGBD, Group File F3”
Look for “Cas.prg” on the file list.
Look on the Job list the name: “steuern_elvcounter_cas_loeschen” and “steuern_elvcounter_elv_loeschen”. Double click on each one, and wait for a window, it says “Job Done” on the bottom.
DONE!, no more RED Light Steering lock issue.
Note: only works if your ELV works fine, and you have this issue because you didn’t replace your battery on time and wait some months for it, like me =(.

For the detail information please check this article:Install BMW INPA software on Win XP
BMW INPA Window 7/8 Installation Guide:
STEP 1: INSTALLING BMW STANDARD TOOLS
Download and install BST 212
Since BST (BMW Standard Tools) was designed for Win XP 32bit operating Systems, users have faced issues with tools like WinKFP and NCSExpert since Win 7 64bit systems have been introduced. Running in XP compatibility mode just wasn’t enough. Presenting you with several errors or not running at all. Only solution was to install on a XP system or like me… XP VMware. Well that all changed with BST 2.12 which works on 32 or 64bit systems.
WIN 7/8, 32/64bit OS
STEP 2: INSTALLING INPA software
(will need it after coding certain modules such as DME for CAS or EWS Alignment)
Download and install my version of INPA 5.06 with Fxx Support by simply
replacing the existing folders with the folders provided in the
Replace C:EC-AppsINPA
Replace C:EDIABAS
STEP 3: INSTALLING NCSEXPERT IN ENGLISH
Download and install NCSEXPER32_ENG.zip
Copy and replace contents in the .zip file with contents in C:NCSEXPERBIN. Now NSCExpert is in English but you will find the Hot Keys do not work. This is a bug a fellow MHH member discovered and haven’t really worked on trying to fix it so for the time being just click on the F# key with your mouse.Not done yet with NCSExpert. Need to import profiles to NCSExpert. How? well download the PFL.zip and copy and replace all contents from PFL.zip to [b]C:NCSExpertPFL. (you will also find a lot more PFL’s by searching for NCSExpert profiles in Google)
Now you have a working WinKFP and NCSExpert with profiles loaded on your PC we can continue to Step 4.
STEP 4: INSTALLING & CONFIGURATING DCAN INPA CABLE
Configure your DCAN/INPA cable. If you followed my steps correctly than your EDIABAS should already be configured to STD:OBD for use with the INPA cable. If not you can download ediabas-konfigurator from here if it is not already in your C:EDIABASEdiabas-Konfigurator folder. This tool allows you to easily change the ediabas.ini to your desired interface. So if you are switching from INPA to E-Sys you could use this to switch from STD:OBD to ENET.
Now to set your COM Port we must first find which COM port is being used for your cable.
Connect your cable to your PC (some may require a 12v supply to power the cable) Allow the device drivers to install (for best driver use the driver that came with your cable. If not then let windows install the best suitable driver for it) Navigate to Control Panel, Device Manager, and scroll to Ports (COM & LPT)…look at the pic
So in my case it’s COM5. So we need to change this in the obd.ini file located in the c:ediabasbin folder. But first lets make some changes to the cable.Right click on your INPA cable driver for example mine is labelled “USB Serial Port” and click on properties. Now in the property window click on the advanced tab.
Now every driver is different but the important part is the settings such as latency timer and received and transmit bytes. See pic bellow for the ideal settings. You may also change the COM port number here as well for tutorial I left it at 5. Once your changes are done we can proceed by clicking OK to accept the changes. No close all windows to return to the desktop.
STEP 5: CHANGING THE OBD.INI
Navigate to C:EDIABASBIN and find file obd.ini and open it with an editor such as notepad.
First 3 lines will look like this…
[OBD]
Port=Com1
Hardware=USB
So we need to change the Port to reflect our INPA cable which in our case is COM port 5. So change it to look like this…
[OBD]
Port=Com5
Hardware=USB
When done click File -> Save and exit out. Very important to remember which USB port you connected your cable to as plugging it into a different USB port will allocate the INPA cable to a different COM port and neither tool will see the cable until the original USB port is used again or changed in device manager and obd.ini as mentioned above.
Ediabas Tool32
Now to test if your cable installed correctly. Plug it into the vehicle’s OBD port and open INPA. You should look like this…
If not follow the above steps again and correct your error.
STEP 6: SPDATEN FILES
Download and install SPDaten files of your choice (always recommend the latest) in this case it is 51.2. Once downloaded you can now follow the instructions provided bellow labelled “How_to_start_WinKFP.pdf” this will explain how to import the SPDaten files to WinKFP.
Edit to update:
For NCSExpert to install or update the daten files, copy the files from SP-daten- E##daten to the C:NCSEXPERDATENE## (where E## is whatever chassis you’re updating). You will also want to copy the files from SP-daten-E##SGDAT to C:NCSEXPERSGDAT (they’re not separated into different chassis in NCS Expert, so you just want to copy and paste everything to that directory.
Overwrite everything it asks about). Then copy the files from SP-daten-E##ECU to C:EDIABASECU
After copying the daten files to c:NCSEXPERDATENE## copy the following files to the following locations:
copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.000 C:NCSEXPERDATEN
copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.DAT C:NCSEXPERDATEN
copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.ASC C:NCSEXPERDATEN
BMW INPA Windows 10 Installation:
The only requirement for this install is Windows XP through Windows 10, 32 or 64 bit version and a working KDCAN cable. Instead of writing a lengthy detail in this post, I generated the instructions that’s included in link below.
