ISTA Smooth Running Test?

MNhv · 10-22-2021, 08:01 AM

I'm on v4.31.4 of ISTA+ and can't seem to find the smooth running test service function. Looked at a number of YouTube videos but I just don't seem to have that option when I expand the menus via service functions. I've tried expanding everything and even did a text search for "smooth" ..nada.

Could I be missing some dependent programs or is this test just not available for my car (2015 M6)? Bear in mind I'm able to scan my car without any issues, pull fuel grade history, etc.

Attached is a screenshot of my Power Train / Engine Electronics menu

Did you ever figure this out? Having the same issue with ISTA.

Yes. You have to go into the DME modules themselves via the control tree (the page that displays all the modules and color codes them yellow if a fault is detected). From there, you can perform various DME tests. The actual naming for me was something along the lines of rough running values not smooth running test like I thought originally.

Yep ive done this one. Cant remember where. It was tricky to find. It also has the injector leak test built into it. It does multiple tests.

No worries my friend. I had to dig far and deep to find that so I understand your pain. Happy to help!
