EKPM2 Increase max current

[MajoDEV]

Hi!
We recently ran to an issue when we installed the upgraded AEM340 fuel pump and we kept getting fuel pump warnings on the dash.
Those warnings were that the pump was drawing more than 14amps which is the current limit on the EKPM2-Fuel pump control module.
We figured out that we can simply code it to whatever amperage you want to.
The things you will need:

• BMW Standard tools updated with SP-Daten V71
• K/D-CAN OBD Cable

Important note: You will need to have the EKP module updated with the SP-Daten V71 files to have this working correctly. If you cannot update it or if you do not know how to do this please stop here because you can brick your EKP module!!!

Read out the current coding data:

1. Turn your ignition ON and connect the K/DCAN cable to the car
2. Open NCS Expert with factory coding profile
3. Select Start > Chassis > E60 > CAS
4. Now you should see your VIN number listed on the top rows
5. Click back > Process ECU > Select EKP
6. Now you need to click Change job > Then select Codierdaten_lesen
7. Finally you click Execute Job and your coding data should be read out.
8. Minimize NCSEXPERT to the tray and proceed to the next step

Open your coding data:

1. Navigate to your NCS Expert Work folder ( it should be located at C:\NCSEXPERT\Work
2. You should be able to see your NETTODAT.TRC file
3. Open it with your desired file editor ( notepad works fine ) and compare it to my attached NETTODAT.TRC file
4. If your file looks EXACTLY THE SAME then you can proceed to the next step
5. Now open the attached NETTODAT.MAN file and copy it over to your NCSEXPERT Work folder

Flash the EKP:

1. Go back into NCSEXPERT
2. Click Basic Functions
3. Select coapiCodeSgByNettoData you should see the EKPM2 module filled in the CBD field
4. Write NETTODAT.MAN into nettodata field
5. Click OK and you should get a popup with Basic function perfect ended!
6. Done

If you followed all the steps above you can cycle your ignition and start your car. If your car started you have done everything right and your current limit was increased to 18Amps!
