BMW Fault Codes...and Their Definitions
Whats up guys,
Figured I would post this for everyone...its a list of BMW fault codes and the definition for each code.... Might help people trying to diagnos any problems. Actualy found this list through a link Terry had in his for sale thread...

That's a basic list of the BMW P-CODES, its for all the BMW engines... including the V-12 thats found in the 7's and Mclaren's.... which, by the way is just 2 I6's mated at one crankshaft

Hi Long!
P0114 (no b) - Intake Air Temp Sensor - Probl Cause - Cabling, bad connection, Engine ECU P0041 - Oxigem Sensor Signal exchanged, Seat 1 sensor 2, seat 2 sensor 2 - Probable Cause Cabling This Codes are from a E46 325Ti, Don´t have yet for the E92...  Try to check if they can relate... Hope it helps Best vox |

PM me the last 7 digits of your vin and I will gee the definition. I tried the code under a similiar vehicles vin and it does not match. Any chance you have the code incorrect? |

whats this code?
I just bought a bav tech code reader thats being shipped now.
so i went to my friend that works at honda just to see what codes i might be throwing, he used his obd2 and found only 1: P0597 cruise control malfunction wtf do i do now? could it be bc of the bov i put on? any insight to why this code gets thrown? the only problem i had with my car recently was an "engine malfunction - reduced power while running map 7 on 104 unleaded" once, i pulled over, turned her off, waited... then turned her back on. shes been running fine ever since. that was about 2 and a half weeks ago. checked my charge pipe on my fmic and everything was good. Can anyone shed some light?

I just had a car I'm planning to purchase inspected by a mechanic and everything checked out except for a fault code. The inspection sheet I have from the mechanic says "Note, trouble code *P2ACB* in DME" I'm not sure if it's P2ACB or just 2ACB but either way I'm trying to figure out what the fault code means. Thanks a lot!
(It's a 2006 E90) |

I guess it is true that there IS an App for everything! I found an App for my iPhone that explains these fault codes. You enter the code andit gives you this exact definition. Pretty cool.
