BMW Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

The codes you provided suggest that there may be a problem with the throttle position sensor or the secondary air injection system in your BMW 325i. However, it's important to note that these codes alone may not be enough to diagnose the exact issue. Here are a few possible causes and troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Check the throttle position sensor (TPS) - The TPS is responsible for communicating the position of the throttle to the engine control module (ECM). If the TPS is faulty, it may cause the engine to not start. You can use a multimeter to check the resistance of the TPS and compare it to the manufacturer's specifications. If the TPS is out of range, it may need to be replaced.
2. Check the secondary air injection system - The secondary air injection system injects air into the exhaust to help reduce emissions. If there is a problem with this system, it can cause the engine to not start. Check the air pump, air pump relay, and check valve to make sure they are functioning correctly.
3. Check for loose or damaged connections - A loose or damaged connection can cause electrical problems that may prevent the engine from starting. Check the battery connections, ground connections, and all wiring harnesses to make sure they are secure and free from damage.
4. Check the fuel system - If the fuel system is not functioning correctly, it can cause the engine to not start. Check the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator to make sure they are working correctly.

If you're not comfortable performing these steps yourself, you may want to consider taking your BMW to a certified mechanic for diagnosis and repair. They will be able to use diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs.

all cars made for 100 year like to short cheap harnesses. that rub, fray and short from VIBRATION not more it does the worst it gets. my buddy captain Dick almost died in C5 Galaxy with short;in the harness mid cargo bay. he saved the day by pulling the connector there and the fire ended. ( got burn hands doing so but lived) on your car pull the loads to HVAC controller may be the blower motor shorted. test and isolate related parts and the actual shorted device is found, and fuse holds or is wrong fuse there. oops use correct amps rating only. 2009 is the year of BAD CAPS PLAGUE. so the controller caps may be hard dead shorted out as they surely love to do. then. (cloned caps H3LL)

Just follow the wire from the headlight bulb. The videos show replacement of the HID Ballast.

Does the car have any check engine lights? When it is running does it idle at the same rpm or does the rpm fluctuate?

USA spec car no not? no country of VIN told so answers can be big time wrong, ok? sure get a shop to fix it they have tools you don;'t have. 3.0L is inline 6? called L6 is this car with coil pack that does more than one spark wire? or have 6, COP spark coils, (all I can do is guess) or USA has 6 COPS we check compression first, x6. got cam timing chain NOISE? I guess changed word mean replaced, with new COP coil? well; engine is first , the spark then fuel injector do DTC P0301 was set, and is still set this error, be specific on DTC errors, even tell them. 301 means weak combustion on #1

• bad cylinder compression
• bad spark
• or #1 injector is bad.

why 3 and 5 fails and all are odd cylinders./ is odd but I suspect VVT problems./ no mileage on the engine told. 300k 400k?

If you are seeing a "no key" symbol on your BMW's dashboard and your window went down, it could indicate a problem with the key or the vehicle's anti-theft system. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check the key battery: A low battery in your key fob can cause communication issues with the vehicle, leading to the "no key" symbol. Replace the battery in your key fob and try starting the car again.
2. Try a spare key: If you have a spare key, try using it to start the car. If the spare key works, then the issue is likely with the original key fob, and you may need to have it reprogrammed or replaced.
3. Check for interference: Sometimes, other electronic devices or signals can interfere with the key's communication with the car. Move away from any potential sources of interference, such as cell phones or other electronic devices, and try starting the car again.
4. Check the fuse: If your window is not responding, it may be related to a blown fuse. Check the vehicle's fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
5. Contact a professional: If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact a professional mechanic or BMW dealership for further diagnosis and repair.

It's important to address this issue promptly as it can leave your car vulnerable to theft (obviously). Hope that helps!!!

are you clipping into correct latch[center belt] or internal spring or clip fail --replace not serviceable

I have two ideas on this. Have you disconnected the battery or had it drain flat recently? It may be the anti-theft immobilizer, and needs resetting. Having said that, the second video shows how to reset all the modules and it just starts right up! https://www.google.com/search?q=2004+bmw+318+reset+security+system Or the fuel pump isn't creating enough pressure. You can test with a gauge borrowed from Autozone..

If you are experiencing a no audio issue and the display says "no warning chime" in your BMW F10 528i, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the audio source: Make sure that the audio source, such as the radio, CD player, or Bluetooth device, is playing and sending a signal to the car's audio system.
2. Check the volume: Make sure that the volume is turned up to an appropriate level and not muted.
3. Check the audio settings: The BMW F10 528i has a few audio settings that can affect the sound output. Check the settings to ensure that the audio is not muted or turned off.
4. Check the warning chime setting: The "no warning chime" message may indicate that the warning chime feature is turned off. Check the settings to ensure that the warning chime is turned on.
5. Check the fuses: The audio system in your BMW F10 528i may be powered by a fuse that has blown. Check the fuses related to the audio system to see if any have blown. Replace any blown fuses with ones of the same rating.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, there may be a problem with the amplifier or speakers in the car's audio system. In this case, it may be necessary to take the car to a professional for repair or maintenance.

Question edited for clarity. Take it back to the installer at 2:00pm and he can use his pro grade scan tool computer to record what happens. It may be electronic interference from something nearby that starts up during that time. https://www.google.com/search?q=Viper+CE0890+Remote+Starter+randomly+starts+up ..

On a 2008 BMW 650i, the fuse for the headlights is located in the fuse box under the hood. The specific fuse you need is Fuse #61, which is a 20-amp fuse located in the third row of fuses from the top. To access the fuse box, open the hood and locate the black plastic cover on the right side of the engine bay. There should be a diagram on the underside of the cover showing the layout of the fuses. Once you've found the correct fuse, you can use a fuse puller or a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove it from the fuse box. It's always a good idea to check the owner's manual for your specific vehicle to get the most accurate and up-to-date information on the location and function of the various fuses.

The answer is No to both questions. The security system and immobilizer is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do, start the car without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram computers (ECM and BCM) and the security modules and sensors. You have to fix the issue not find away around it. The immobilizer on that vehicle needs a code. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+BMW+X5+reset+security ..

If your 2012 BMW 535i is losing all of its water but not overheating, there could be a few possible causes:

1. Leak in the coolant system: The coolant system of your car may have a leak, which is allowing the water to escape. This could be caused by a faulty radiator, a leaking hose or a cracked engine block.
2. Evaporative loss: In some cases, the water may be evaporating due to high temperatures. This is common when driving in hot weather, and it can be caused by a malfunctioning pressure cap or a faulty radiator cap.
3. Leak in the water pump: The water pump may be leaking, causing the water to escape from the coolant system.
4. Leak in the head gasket: A leak in the head gasket can allow coolant to leak into the engine oil, causing the water to disappear.

You need to have it checked for error codes. You could get tailended if power drops unexpectedly. Without the codes, it could be anything from a bad fuel filter to a failed transmission.

NO VIN TOLD . 2002 bmw 325ci e46? the dealer of this car asks for the VIN or no books or service parts, sold, to you, see whY/.???????? nor manuals my online source has no lighting chapters. users guide does not cover this. service manual at dealer does. buy one?

the labor to remove and install pump is the same for new or used.. I would buy a new pump however it is your money.

Could you possibly comment below with a photo of this light? I'm not sure if it is the boot lid light as that is usually the image of a small car with the boot lid open. Also the noise would keep going if the boot is open as that's it job. A Red light means it needs looking at as soon as you can as it is possibly something serious. Does it have any other marks, letters or symbols inside the shape? This can help identify it.
