I am an amateur user of the scan device and I could not figure out how to erase an errant engine code before watching your video. It appears that my error was not first reading the codes before trying to erase them (which seems to make good sense). My 10 year old Z4 has had this light on and off from time to time and the dealership could not diagnose it. The car still runs like a top and the error code suggested that one of the cylinders might be running a bit lean. I did not want to pay for replacing injectors for a problem that does not affect the performance of the machine. Thanks for your helpful video!

Ain’t working on my 2007 e93. Cylinder 3 misfire, swapped coils with #2 and the code followed, changed all the plugs and coils and it’s running great. Light will not go out, codes will not clear with the tool. Still showing 2 and 3 misfire stored in there. There’s no misfire though, running absolutely great!

Hello did you ever get that light out?? I have the same problem right now. I put new spark plugs and coils. And with my scanner the light will not go away. But the vehicle is running fine.🤷♂️
@erizzle672 ай бұрын
@@mannydelgado1770 yes I meant to come back and post my fix. I have the OBDLink CX scan interface, and I was using the app that came with it. The engine light would just not go out driving for a week, obviously no issues, so I paid for the BimmerLink app. Firstly, the scan gave me more detail on the stored codes which would have been nice before, and I quite easily was able to turn off the light. I think it was $40 which is a bit stiff but I’m hoping it will pay for itself in the future…

Im looking to get that scanner, quick ? I need my CEL cleared for emissions, will the scanner do that? Im dealing with a seal leak or valve cover gasket leak. Its causing my 328i to idle low and make a loud continous whistle but..... I add rear main sealer and it runs fine and the engine line eventually goes off but. I need to clear it for emissions and it's in need of more sealer.

Clearing the check engine light will does not mean you will pass a smog test. You will have to clear the code and also complete a drive cycle without the check engine turning back on.

Should this work with a bmw 528i 2008 model? I received the scanner you recommended today, but when I plugged it in, the scanner read no codes stored. Also, it wouldn't allow me to erase any codes, but my check engine light is still on. Any suggestions, should I return the scanner?
@RANDOMFIX2 жыл бұрын
This this works for the 2008 bmw e60. So your check engine light is on but you the obd2 reader sees no codes? Does it say the MIL (malfunction illumination light) light is on?
@VirgilDavis2 жыл бұрын
@@RANDOMFIX No, when I scan it (if I am scanning correctly) it goes real fast and then the message no codes stored appears. I just received the scanner yesterday and have contact Amazon for a refund, but I really don't want to send it back if it's the correct scanner and I am just doing something incorrect. You run the scan without the engine running, right? Does it matter if the radio is on or should everything else be turned off. Thank you so much for your response.

Nope 👎, these cars very complicated and the issue needs to fixed. If you remove the check engine light bulb it will detect that too and you won’t pass future smog tests.

I don’t recall specifically as this e60 has a slew of issues so I told my friend that I would fix all the issues as long as I make a video for each repair and $15 per hour and he had to pay for parts.
