SOURCE: brake warning light is on for 2002 bmw 745i.

The brake pads have sensors in them, when the pads get worn down to the sensor the light comes on letting you know its time to replace. this happens well before the pads are completely gone to reduce wear on the rotors. You should have the brakes replaced and the sensor also.

SOURCE: my bmw 745i reads system too lean on bank what

If you have a lean code on just one bank, it usually means the oxygen sensor on that side is bad. On rare occasions, it could indicate an actual one side lean condition. Only way to tell for sure is to have the oxygen sensor tested. If it is fine, you may have plugged fuel injectors on that side.

SOURCE: BMW 745i airbag light. Told to replacing airbag clockspring

Hello , check the airbag contact sensor behing the grill assembley . They are located to the left and right of the grill almost to the headlight assemblies. Check the wires to them for corrosion and damage. Check the fuse as well. There should be an air bag testing wire or fuse in the fuse panel. DO NOT UNPLUG THE AIR BAG SENSORS OR HIT THEM !!

SOURCE: 2002 BMW 745i code p0370

This is a generic code which says " Timing Reference High Resolution Signal A Malfunction ". This sounds like an electronic problem from where the computer gets a signal form sensors ( in this case probably a camshaft or crankshaft sensor ) to determine top dead center cylinder #1, in order for the computer to determine the correct timing. Since the computer is not sensing correct timing ( be it electronic or maybe your timing belt has skipped a tooth or more?) this would be the reason for your car not starting.

How to fix fault p0021 and engine failsafe program

(powertrain control module, also called an ECM). That consists of a few different components but the P0021 DTC specifically refers to the camshaft (cam) timing. In this case, if the cam timing is above a set limit (over-advanced), the engine light will be illluminated and the code will be set. The "A" camshaft is either the intake, left, or front camshaft. A P0021 engine code is basically the same as a P0011 code, except this is for Bank 2, not Bank 1.
Symptoms Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0021
Most likely a P0021 DTC will result in one of the following: hard starting, poor idle, and/or stalling. There are potentially other symptoms as well. Of course, when trouble codes are set, the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp, a.k.a. the check engine light) illuminates.
Causes Possible causes of OBD code P0021
A P0021 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:
Possible Solutions This DTC code is a result of a mechanical fault of the VCT unit or related components, so there is no need for electrical diagnosis. Refer to vehicle specific repair manual to perform component tests for the VCT unit. Notes: Dealer techs have advanced tools and the ability to follow detailed troubleshooting steps, including the ability to test components using a scan tool.

2003 nissan maxima p0021 bank 2 cam timing 40 degrees advanced at idle

To review - - the intake valve solenoid valve controls the flow of oil thru the control valve to adjust valve timing.
The code means the computer "sees" the valve timing as out of range and/or not controllable.
Possible causes could be a defective or stuck solenoid valve, dirty oil causing a blockage, a faulty cam sensor or faulty crank sensor.
Other than changing the oil and filter, the components would need to be checked with a scanner that can look at live data.

BMW 745I 2002 wiper dead

there are several things that can cause the wipers in your car not to work. if you have verified the fuses are good and verified power to your wiper motor, I would try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 15 minutes, then checking operation of the wipers. by the way, which fuses did you check?
