EDC Issue

TommyLights · 02-08-2014, 11:51 AM

I recently got the EDC malfunction error code on my car, a 2008 sedan.

Because I had a mechanic working on the front right strut, and because he wasn't able to initially properly secure the collar for the Ground Control sleeve kit, I drove it home a short distance and got the malfunction code.

Because of all of this, I was under the impression it was an issue with the front strut, and wound up getting a set of 4 used struts with 31k on them. I then replaced the "damaged" strut, but this didn't resolve the problem. I then proceeded to plug in the rears to see if one of them was compromised, and the light shut off for about 5 miles, then popped back on.

Out of ideas at this point. Any coders out there or anyone have experience with this? I just want to find out what the issue is and resolve it.

Need to check for codes, this will tell you specific what strut (or other fault(s)) is triggering the light.

Otherwise, guesswork can be frustrating and expensive in the long run.

The EDC strut connectors tend to go bad after a while. More than likely that is all that needs to be replaced, not the strut itself.

Where is the main edc module located on my e90? Its not responding so the mechanic wants to pull it and examine. He thinks it might be bad. Checked the fuse and its fine.

Yes, thanks, did that last Saturday at Tom's prompting and found a WET module

Bought a used functioning one as a replacement. It looks like the sunroof drain tube which runs right above it failed.
