Valvetronic code 2e0f

bsad0521 · 09-16-2018, 11:46 PM

So Ive put this off for quite some time now, but I have had this 2e0f code (Valvetronic system: disabled, too frequent) and its the only thing keeping me from tuning the car. Havnt had any real issues like a CEL, just some rev hunting on cold starts and a little jerking when driving at low speeds. Just wanted to know if any of you guys have had experience with this code and how you fixed it. its just a little annoying because I dont want to tune if everything isnt in order first. As they say maintenance before mods.lol

most likely your valvetronic motor position sensor has failed. It's running in 'open loop' with the valvetronic locked at full lift, and using the throttle instead to control the engine. on the N55 you need to replace the valvetronic motor itself.

thanks, I thought so. Wondering if it is doing any real damage driving around like that. Just havnt built up the courage to replace it myself as i have not yet taken off the valve cover before. lol Wish there was some video explaining exactly how to replace the motor.

Did you replace the motor? Did it get rid of the code?

bsad0521 · 10-21-2019, 11:40 PM

Not yet. really haven't found the time. I have the motor and everything but I guess im just being lazy. are you having the same issues?

For others who may come across this thread... I was getting ONLY the 2E0F code, and I ran the calibration procedure in ISTAD. It was to find the max and min travel points. After running this, the code instantly went away and has not come back. Before this, I could not even clear the code. It would stay on even when I hit clear codes. Hopefully this helps someone else.

I also did the relearn process a while back. It worked for a couple of months and then the code came back. Putting a new valvetronic motor in tomorrow, hopefully that fixes the issue.

I know this thread is old but hoping you can chime in. I'm having the same code and I did the relearn procedure which cleared it for a few months. The code just came back so I ordered a new valvetronic motor and will install it soon. My question is did replacing the valvetronic motor fix you issue for the long term? I'm hoping I don't have to replace the entire eccentric shaft since just the part is a grand.

sorry for the late reply. My problem is gone but I dont think it was because of the motor itself going bad. The problem was still there. It was a voltage problem that was throwing the code. I had the guys at bimmergeeks remotely log in and fix it. Hasnt come back since. hope this helps.

Had this exact same problem
Then I flashed MHD did a stage 1+ OTS map
Now it’s gone
Hasn’t come back even flashing back to stock (map 0)

I even removed MHD and drove for a couple days no code.

Whatever MHD does it must recalibrate it.

I’ll be replacing the valvetronic motor soon with the new valve cover that’s failing of course

I'm running into the same issue now. Did you ever change the motor or did the problem ever come back for you?
