BMW Dealership, error codes, and Juicebox 3
I recently ran my car up on a curb and bent 2 aftermarket rims. I replaced the custom set with the ones I originally had on the car. Unfortunately, I have been getting a DSC error and cruise control is not working.
*edit* did not find any error codes with an OBDII reader, will update more later Any advice about this situation would be greatly appreciated from a fellow enthusiast! Last edited by Jugador; 12-31-2008 at 02:01 PM.. Reason: confidentiality |

Well I'm in Austin, TX if anyone wants to help out, please PM me!
I'd still like to find a C-Reader to buy for myself incase anything ever comes up again too. |

You didn't bend your rims at a Mazda meet did you?

Take the JB out and go to advance auto,pep boys,etc. and they will read and clear your codes for free.My friend was in the position as you,and thats what he did.Everything worked out fine.

Even clearing with with an OBDII tool will not clear them completely. They just are no longer visible to the OBDII interface but the dealer tools can still see them. But considering the codes are not active, they may not even notice them.

I pulled up to the service bay and asked why my check engine light came on today and they came out with an OBDII tool right there and the tech looks at me goes Oh shit man a fuel injector went out.. Im like Oh really anything else wrong?? and hes goes NO thats the only code I can have it fixed in an hour!! So Maybe with a chepo reader ya I could see the codes still lingering but with my tool its the SAME THING the dealer uses!!

This is the same reason why some people can get a Limp Mode without having an OBDII code present, but there is something in the extended memory which a GT1 or similar could read. |

Talking about C-readers: which one would you recommend? I'm planning to get one and want to be sure that it works with 335i.
Sorry fot the OT.

IF the dealer takes the time to look at your car closely he will know it's had altered software, More and more dealers are paying attention to the turbo cars, eating warranty jobs for turner software is not something BMW has built into the cost of the car.
