The Dealer Got It Completely Wrong…Our Diagnosis Exposed the REAL Problem

A BMW X5 (F15) arrived with serious hybrid system issues, almost no electric range, and warnings that made the vehicle undrivable. The main dealer suggested a simple module failure — but the real problem was far more complex than expected. In today’s video, we perform a full investigation of the high-voltage system, uncover the true reason behind the battery imbalance, strip the complete HV pack, replace the internal modules, rebuild the cooling system, reset programming, and finally take the X5 on a full-cycle road test. This repair was anything but standard — and the underlying cause is something every hybrid owner should know. Stay close… this one is packed with diagnostics, deep technical insights, and a surprising ending. 📍 Visit Us: OGS Mechanics Units 9–14, Millers Yard Rear of 28 Long Lane London N3 2QG 📺 Watch Our Repairs in Action: 📌 Subscribe on YouTube → Weekly EV/Hybrid breakdowns, fixes & full diagnostics 📲 Follow the Behind-the-Scenes Garage Life: 🎵 TikTok:   / ogsmechanics   📸 Instagram:   / ogs_mechanics   📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/15J54K... 🕒 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – A different kind of diagnostic today 0:12 – Visiting the customer’s BMW X5 1:41 – Initial scan & first warning signs 2:37 – Electric range shockingly low 3:05 – First drive test 4:02 – Battery state of health revealed 5:26 – Why the electric drive is disabled 6:22 – Calling the customer with the findings 7:58 – Bringing the X5 to the workshop 8:56 – High-voltage battery analysis 11:26 – Stripping the boot & accessing the HV battery 12:27 – Opening the battery pack 14:18 – Removing the first module 15:21 – Why cooling failures destroy batteries 17:05 – Severe capacity degradation explained 19:52 – Removing all six modules 21:32 – Empty battery tray 22:04 – Measuring and balancing replacement modules 22:36 – Beginning the reassembly 23:39 – How BMW module sensors work 24:47 – Rebuilding the battery structure 26:49 – End of Day 1 27:26 – Monday: restarting the repair 28:31 – Final modules installed 29:18 – Voltage test across the full pack 31:38 – HV interlock installed — system ready 32:15 – Clearing codes & first look at the new statistics 33:56 – Battery fully balanced 35:19 – Preparing for full road test 39:05 – On the motorway: real-world range test 41:31 – Still discrepancies… 42:40 – The real software issue discovered 43:59 – Replacing the SME control module 46:55 – Second attempt: proper range test 47:43 – Cell behaviour under low voltage 49:56 – Returning to the garage 50:45 – Final summary on cost and repair 53:07 – Outro & what we learned #BMWX5 #HybridRepair #HighVoltageBattery #EVRepair #OGSMechanics #BatteryRebuild #HybridSystem #BMWRepair #ElectricDrive #CarDiagnostics #EVWorkshop
