[Unit] DME [Error dec/hex] 83 [Parameter dec/hex] 53 [BMW Model] E39 528i Touring [Year] 1997 [What is it] Faulty Crankshaft position sensor [What I’m experiencing] Engine that doesn’t start at all or hardly shut down when driving (it can resume a fraction of second later or not). You see in the RPM gauge the cursor dropping to zero like it turns off). A complete failure of this sensor means that you cannot turn on yoour engine. Another important thing: NO engine check light on! [Where is the fault] In the crankshaft sensor [How to solve] Change the Crankshaft position sensor, check the wiring and contacts, if you can check the correct signal pattern in the flywheel head [Notes]
