  • In this BMW E60 M5 video we take a look at replacing the two SMG gearbox relays as preventative maintenance.
    Ignore the part number printed on the black relay in the video, I’d been supplied the wrong part number and had to change it out for the correct one
    Part numbers
    SMG Hydraulic Pump (Black) Relay- 61366901469
    SMG Gear Oil Pump (Green) Relay- 61368373700

    Man this video was 3 years ago.
    I’m having problems with SMG suddenly went neutral for no reason. Someone told replace the SMG pump and I’m glad I did not.
    Thank you man, hopefully this issue will be solved after I buy the relay for the SMG pump.

    Another good video. 2 weeks ago I would have been in the camp that would say relays don’t wear out. I’d been chasing what I though was a temperature sensor issues to make the cooling fan run. I’d replace the sensor the fan would work. Then it wouldn’t. Replace sensor- fan worked for about a week. Turns out the fan relay in the trunk was starting to go bad. I support my bad coil theory because 4v was passing through the other side of the contractor. I bypassed the relay as a test and my car has never run better. I believe that small amount of voltage was throwing off the signal the engine management computer needed to run properly. Short story long, I just orders the two relays in you video and a fan relay. I want to keep the transmission running in top form. It’s such an amazing transmissions. Keep up the good work. Cheers from North Carolina, America

      @Giray Kharizzma Could be the PLCD? (clutch position sensor) Yes this can be replaced without dropping the gearbox (its mounted just above the pump) You may find you have to drop the tail of the gearbox for access. I would do some more investigation first though, start with the simple stuff- make sure the fluid is at the correct level, wiring harnesses are in good shape etc.

    I just watched your video SMG transmission relays I have a 2006 530I with the SMG transmission... My car will start.. the indicators says it's in neutral and I can't seem to select any gears reverse or drive... Sometimes as I'm parked in my parking lot ... The Revs will drop... And reverse will engage on its own without touching my stick shift but it all still indicate on the dash that I am in neutral.... Do you have any ideas as to what is going on and what could be causing the problem..?...(I did put in a new battery , 6 months ago and did not know that I had to register it and has given me many problems over the last 6 months.... I strongly suspect that this might be the initial cause of all my problems...)...can you help... Thanking you in advance

    • @MTechGuy
      @MTechGuy  2 роки тому

      Start off with a good battery, and check the fluid level. Scan for any SMG codes and go from there. Could be any number of issues, possibly low hydraulic pressure, or a bad harness?

    Hi M tech guy my smg has stopped priming. I've ordered the new relay but is there anyway to test the old one until it arrives. The pump motor was replaced 2 years ago and this happened the next morning after driving on a very hot day (39 degrees)

    • @MTechGuy
      @MTechGuy  Рік тому

      Start by checking the fluid level and try the new relay. It could be a sign the hydraulic pump is failing, or pressure is bleeding away somewhere in the system (failing O-ring or accumulator)

    Hi, thanks for the great info videos. I have a problem with the e64 V10 SMG.
    When driving in M ​​mode you sometimes get a transmission error. Diagnostics shows codes: 4F40 and 4F43
    Maybe you had a similar problem or you know where to look for a failure?
    Thank you for your answer.

    • @MTechGuy
      @MTechGuy  2 роки тому

      It could be any number of issue causing them codes. Is the pump motor in good shape? possibly a leak issue, either the lower pump seals, or the actuator block at the top. First make sure the fluid level is correct and the relays are good. Make sure the pump motor is operating properly- then perform an accumulator pressure test and go from there

    Hello. Fernando from Portugal. I have benn left on foot for the second time by my m5 v10 because the gear box entered in safe mode and did not allowed me to start the car up. The first time was due to the alternator that didn’t charge the battery well and the gear box failed because of the lack of energy. That’s what I was told. The alternator was replaced. Last Saturday the appened again. Safe mode and the gear because was stuck and didn’t allow the car to start. The error on the machine was related to the hydraulic pressure on the gear box. Question: could it be the relays or is the gear motor begin to failed. What is you sugestion? I have a new acumulator also. Thank you.
