Great post GG!! Been looking for something like this. Thanks, Bro! Merry Xmas!!

[Shnyaga]

Don't mean to bring an old thread back but I don't see P0171 and P0174: System too lean, banks 1 and 2....... Unless theres a difference between the BMW trouble codes and the one on my scan tool. Then, my bad.

P0171 and P0174 are not BMW specific codes.

Yeah, i started to realize that after awhile, but my dad insisted.. "NOOO its not possible, its the law for all of them to be the same!!!"....... dick

[tld31]

Good stuff. Thanks a lot for posting this.

[rugguy99]

It looks like all the codes are off by one line. Look at the very first lines and you will see. I found it by looking at 1519 and 1520. You have to look up one line when matching the description to the code.

Just thought I would share this.

[Eazy E]

Nice post. Can the admins make this a "sticky"?

[Funk49]

Is there a specific Fault Code for the torque converter ?

[tinfoilwrap]

I have a 2001 e46, what scanner tool should I buy to reset oil and other stuff ?

[Manolito]

On my 2004 325iT, I got a code P16A7, which means "MAF signal implausible".

In my case, the reason the MAF signal was implausible was because one catalyst was completely plugged up and the other was not good.

This is great info
