OBD Fusion figured out my problem. I’m glad it told me that my battery was dead but now I know that my alternator

So ive noticed on my car, if i hold down LC too long, this will happen. Its very frustrating for dig racing. any fix for this?

Hello bro does transmission have effect on bmw drivetrain , becuse i have drivetrain problem , and my transmisiom doesnt work very well ,no good shifting

How do I know it’s for that reason for my 2011 bmw 750li

ok i kept gettin this with squeaky wastegate. now there is a new turbo installed. in which wastegate should not be squeaking but it is.;-( i cant understand why new turbo wastegate would squeak. i hav protool and esys, etc etc. after new turbo i still get drivetrain malfunction on idrive. but usually when gas and or battery is low. is this normal? car on idle will idle funny shaking somewhat sometimes.. all new plugs and coilpacks are new also.another code also says wategate sluggish. wen battery is full charge it seems to start and not idle funny. i cant understand why these things would happen on a low battery, what do u think

Would you be interested in doing a comparison for diagnostic tools/apps such as Bimmer Link, Carly, or Foxwell NT510/NT530, etc.? Features, value, and if they're as effective as what you might need to know if you went to a dealership/indy shop just for codes to be read when it could be something you could fix at home? Don't know if you've published a video on that topic already like with the different tuning companies.

Ended up being the server module, had to remove the manifold and start digging by the time that was done, diagnostics done numerous times, found the EMU and TSP had been fouled by the Server inside the motor, so it was an expensive fix. Wish it had been a diy tried everything, all systems would read ok but believe me a half second after hitting the excelerator it would creep along at approximately 4 miles an hour. I did everything from oil change to new spark plugs, nothing worked that was a dead giveaway it was more serious. One thing I would caution though, if you've tried everything from the diy standpoint take it to a reputable mechanic who works on BMWs, BMW has proprietary rights and they have to coordinate the reset on the vehicles computer.

hi I’m running a careless downpipe on my Supra running a check engine light dunno if I should take it to the shop

Thanks for the video! I just installed a VRSF catless downpipe and MHD stage 2 on my 19 X3m40i and had this issue come up 2 days later. Scared the crap out of me, turned it off and then back on and it was gone and ran like normal… now I’ll go read the codes and see what might have happened. Any advice is appreciated

hey kern, i was wondering if you can help me with a fuel pump problem. I followed your guide for a B58TU pump install on my 2018 M240. And when i installed the pump the car wont start. When i put back the old pump the car starts fine. Am i suppose to configure the ECU?

it does not need any custom settings. double check your work, make sure it's fully plugged in. you can also scan for codes after the car fails to start to see what's wrong.

Mine is just from the tune I just ignore it. I’m putting more boost so that’s why. I can turn it off but it cost me. My check engine isn’t on

I got a mixture too lean code randomly after starting my car a month ago. Ran some logs and the timing was perfect, AFRs looked good, no rail pressure crashes (target was = actual) so I cleared the code. Never came back and I’ve been keeping and eye on my logs every so often. Hopefully it was an one-off issue. I do have a flex fuel kit from bootmod3 and am running E-blends. Not sure if it was some random glitch that caused the sensor to throw an exception, causing the the code. I should be safe…right? Lol…

Hoping you can give some Insight. Recently had my m340 tuned and now when I open throttle from 0 I get drivetrain malfunction n go into limp mode. Off n on fixes it temporarily but comes back. Some ppl are saying wheel spin I don’t think so. I think was custom tuned too aggressive. I took it back to tuner they took a few psi’s off. He drove it said it didn’t come up for him. I got the car back and of course did it for me. What do u think issue could be ? In the codes there was something with the fuel code. Was thinking needed to add hpfp to keep the power but nothing for my car that I can find. Do you think it’s still tuned too aggressive ?
