How to Reset BMW Electric Tailgate?
2 Answers
BMW electric tailgate reset method: The control unit reset needs to be performed through the function control unit, including original part activation, clearing fault code memory, and automatic reset execution. The vehicle's trunk, also known as the electric tailgate, can be opened and closed electrically. There is a door close button inside the tailgate. By pressing this button, the tailgate can close automatically without manual intervention. The BMW X3 is a sporty SUV equipped with a B48 2.0T engine. The transmission system is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and the entire series comes standard with the xDrive four-wheel-drive system. The vehicle's dimensions are 4717mm in length, 1891mm in width, and 1689mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2864mm.
I just dealt with this the other day. Resetting the BMW electric tailgate is actually quite simple: First, manually push the electric tailgate to the fully closed position, ensuring it's shut tightly. Then, without letting go, continue holding down the close button on the outside of the tailgate for about 15 seconds. Wait until you hear two beeps (some models have a single long beep), then release the button. The entire process requires the vehicle to be powered on (no need to start the engine), and it's best to stand by and keep an eye on it. Last time, my wife loaded luggage too forcefully and jammed the tailgate track, but after resetting, the opening and closing became smooth again. Remember, if it still doesn't work after resetting, check for any obstructions in the track or whether the voltage is stable.
