Need help doing vanos test with INPA

[BMWfanz]

Check vanos connector and wiring on solenoid pack

[JP1580]

I'll check again today but it seems that it works half the time.
Last time I changed the Vanos block, I ensured to hear the "click" and I zip tied the connection.

The P0014 code appears to be a VANOS timing issue. I recently the VANOS test while the car was running, and I have attached the results (jpeg) to this post.

the attached file lists the inpa error codes, but nothing about the vanos test result.

P0014: the EX cam timing is too advance. You need to check and set it to the correct position.

So yes the attached file is the new CEL codes post Vanos test.
I posted the VANOS test results as a jpeg.

Side note:
Confirmed that the plug is fully seated.
Started the car last night for 5 min.
Ran great no CEL.

I have a refurbished solenoid pack from Beisan that I'll install Friday.
I'll report back with results.

Does this works?

Looks like intake cam vanos is not working at all. Any codes?

[JP1580]

To me, it looks like everything is pointing to a bad solenoid pack * Intake Camshaft is Stuck in Retard
* The intake camshaft did not move at all when requested. It physically remained parked at the retard stop throughout the entire 5ms test window.
Most Likely Cause: solenoid pack

It ran great last night for the 5 min it was running.
I have a refurbished solenoid coil pack that came in a day or two ago. Plan is to install it and re-run the test.

I know it says that the Vanos test should be ran at warm temp but if the soldering pins are making contact at cold.
Can I run the tedt at cold (say after 5 min from startup) to confirm my suspicions?

Car is throws P0011 and P0014 after driving moderately hard.

Have you retimed engine after vanos rebuild?

[JP1580]

I bought the car for a friend. He confirmed that the engine was retimed after Vanos rebuilt (the body and pack were not changed during rebuild)

Car ran problem free for 3 years since rebuild. Occasional CEL for old gas (coming out of storage) since he barely drove it. Ran beautifully after a fresh tank for the season.

These CELs are 3 months old

The test wasn't set up correct.
For Intake the top 2 command should be like these:
EVAN_SOL -10 (but your shows 52); the dme commands the intake to move to -10 deg but your test commands to move to 52. Double check if the right engine is selected.
EVAN_SOL 75 (but your shows 52); the dme commands to move intake to retard 75.

The same for exhaust, should be
AVAN_SOL -10 (your shows 20)
AVAN_SOL 55 (your shows 20)

You didn't use the software tool correctly.
