BMW Repair: computer 735i, hand held scanner, bmw 735i


Question
is it possible to reboot the computer in a 89 bmw 735i

Answer
Hey John, You can't reboot a cars computer like the computer in your house.  It's not the same.  If you are talking about a code that the computer is bringing up or trying to reset a check engine light or something of that nature, then yes taht can be reset.  But not rebooted.  To do that, you will need a hand held scanner that pluges into the obd socket under the hood and under the steering wheel.  And then you would go from there.  But the scanners are not cheap.  Did this answer your question?
