    This video just made me feel a whole lot better! Just got my 135i N54 7 months ago and I got my first CEL. I started to panic and it kept bothering me. After watching this video... it calmed me down big time. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for this info! My engine light came on today. I don't want to spend unnecessary money for a diagnostic test if I can do it myself. I'll be ordering that code reader ASAP!

    You are spot on explaining the differences my friend. The only ses lights I had on my E92 08 335i was the rear o2 senor bank 2 and a misfire due to leaky injector fouling the spark plug and the only cel light I had was a bad crankshaft position sensor. Also gave me the reduced power message "Limp mode" . I too have used a BM scanner and was able to resolve all of these issues except the leaky injector that should be soon hopefully.

    Very good information. Thank you. Would this also apply for an e46 325i?

    for future reference if you have a proper scan tool you can actually see how many time the fault codes was triggered....some codes that disappear once cleared only mean they are not active at the time....for preventive maintenance its normally good to look into those codes to avoid actual component failure...for example a loose connector can trigger a host of codes, which if not addressed can cause actual harm to the relevant components....this way you can plan when to actually address a problem rather than waiting for it actually breaks down

    Can I ask you a question I had a full diagnostic from the bmw dealer everything was cool except my oil valve gasket cap, I got it fixed now my check engine light is on what would suggest x3 2013

    Thank You so much for the video. I had a check engine light soon last year after erasing it now came back again this year. I went for inspection and they give me a code P0301 Generic cylinder 1 misfire detected. I had changed 6 of my spark plug last year i was thinking maybe thats why. I use maxiScan MS 300 and it says no code found. Thank you for sharing all the information it makes me feel better about the light. Its so helpful knowing about having a proper BMW scaning tool.

    Very good points you made! Same thing has happened to me, dme triggers a code yet after a day or two it goes away and is never to be seen again! 🙏🏼

    Fully agree with you, I've experience check engine lights from misfire, and after few more miles of driving the check engine would clear itself, BMW is notorious for doing this, and this video is very helpful especially for new BMW owners, you don't wanna fix things right away, you sometimes have to out wait the check engine lights.

    When my Vanos Solenoid went bad, my codes read as faulty HPFP, and Vanos Solenoids. It also had another one that had to do with fuel pressure plausibility. After I replaced my Vanos , never got any of those codes again.. Keep the informative videos coming.

    I have a 2006 325i , any ideals why my car keeps going in Limp mode after I sit in traffic for too long ,but if I'm constantly driving without much stops like ( freeway without traffic ) it won't go in Limp mode.

    I had some coils and plugs go out because service spilled couple drops of oil on #2 and #3 which leaked under the coil boot. I buy the stuff and they do the labor for $20 so can't complain. Well anyway changed them out, cleared codes using MHD then put gas, restarted and light went off (light was on when driving to put gas). Samething when I replaced a dead battery. The steering wheel lock light and battery light were on after replacing until I put gas and restarted it. That was over a year ago and nothing since.

    I recently had a P1727 come up, I read it was a crank sensor issue. Before deciding to spend 70 bucks on a sensor. I pulled the crank sensor cleaned it really well and reinstalled it. The light never came back. Sometimes the sensors are just dirty.
