BMW crank no start error 006292, 006293 fuel pump controller repair. No programming, cost me $15

2011 BMW 328i died on the freeway after hard acceleration. Car still had battery power but engine shut off. Took about 30 minutes until car would start again after multiple tries.

Second time happened again about a week later on the freeway driving 65 mph. After 30 minutes I was able to start it again. Both times the car shut off I was about 45 minutes to an hour driving before it happened.

After the second time it happened I did more research and found a ton of other people with same issue who replaced the fuel pump controller module here in this video, but the new module needs to be programmed to your vehicle, so simply replacing it will not work. You need to find someone to program the new module to your specific BMW.
BMW San Francisco gave me a quote of $500!!! I decided to try to repair first before I paid that kind of money for such a generic device.



Carly app registered these codes:
006292
React immediately
Description:
Motor voltage too low / EKP engine: voltage too low

006293
React immediately
Description:
EKP engine: current too high / Motor current too high



I took the module off my vehicle, removed the case and installed back into my vehicle. I turned my car on and used a thermal camera (FLIR One Pro IOS) and after only two minutes or so from cold start the unit registered at its hottest point 104 degrees! It was too hot for me to even hold the unit in my hand.

I searched the target chip number online BTN7960B and found a circuit board on Amazon that had the chip on it. The only ones I found online with just the chip alone all would have taken a few weeks to arrive so I went with the one from amazon.

Part came in, i had to desolder the chip, remove the chip from the bmw module and solder on the new chip. This chip controls the high/low voltage (mosfet) from what the data sheet says which makes sense that the error codes read high/low voltage issues.

After installing the new chip I drove my car for about 45 minutes and after parking and car still on, I touched the chip on front and back, it was warm and not burning hot. I used my thermal camera to check the heat and it was what you see in the last photo of the video, around 50 degrees.


This repair requires soldering skills and possibly a microscope to do. The new part was less than $20 on amazon. This repair should be the answer to most people having this same issue without having to pay a crazy large about of money to have the new part programmed to your vehicle. You can search for “micro-soldering” in your area and ask the tech if they can solder for you, show them this video. Most someone might charge you would probably be around $180 or so (this is a technical repair job) but it is still a lot cheaper than paying to reprogram a new module.
