This problem is driving me nuts! I have an intermittent problem with my drivers side BSM not working every now and then on my '08 CX-9 GT.
After the drivers side not working for a few minutes, it triggers a flashing "BSM Off" light. Sometimes it will work perfectly, other times not.
When hooked up to a diagnostic computer to read DTC's and history codes, nothing comes up unless the BSM is actively flashing (no history codes). So I hooked it up to my friends computer while it flashed and got code: U3000:97-8A. According to research that I've done, it all pointed to a messed up signal in the Left BSM module, usually caused by dirt, or physical damage. I checked everything and it was all good, so the last thing on the list was a defective module. I ordered and installed a replacement, now it doesn't work at all! (on the drivers side, passenger side works still) and of course after a few miles of not working, the flashing "BSM Off" light illuminates. I pulled the code and it is the same code as before I replaced the module.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Is it just that the new module needs to be "set up" or "calibrated"? Is it normal to not work at all after a replacement?
As of now, I have no idea what to do so I made an appointment at the dealer for this Thursday hoping that they just need to do a calibration on it.
Any ideas?
