LAUNCH X431 PAD V ELITE: Sunroof Reset on BMW 525

If your BMW vehicle is experiencing issues with the sunroof, or if your LAUNCH X431 PAD V ELITE diagnostic device displays the DTC code 080215, this article will show you the procedure for resetting (normalizing) the sunroof and clearing the fault code.

NOTE: The X431 PRO3 and X431 PRO5 series devices also support the sunroof normalization function for BMW vehicles, so the following procedure can be performed with them as well.

Function description:

Sunroof normalization is required when the FZD system detects the DTC code 080215.

Fault Code (DTC):
080215 – “SHD: Not Normalized”

Procedure:

Connect the vehicle to the X431 PAD V ELITE device, and on the device, select the special function [Normalize Sunroof Slide/Tilt].

  1. Click [F1. Execute Normalization Procedure].

  1. The normalization setting is in progress.

  1. Check whether the vehicle ignition is ON.

  2. Once this is done, the normalization process will complete successfully, and the fault code (DTC) will no longer appear.

The service function has been completed. You can now access the FZD system and check for DTC codes.
Since no fault codes (DTC) are detected, your work has been successfully completed.
