could be numerous things. find a way to check the code and see what it means.

if the cel is still on, take it to the dealership.



if not, wait until it turns on, then take it to the dealership.

or that if you don't have the resources to look the code up.

like with my car and most that i know of, when your car throws a CEL, there's a way you can make it output a "code." most times it's the pattern of how it flashes, or a number it displays, etc. since you don't know what i'm talking about then it'd probably be best to bite the bullet and take the car to a dealer or someone who knows what they're doing. i don't know bmw's so i can't help there.

same deal with my old sentra. there was a series of pedal movements that would make the SES light flash in a particular pattern.


doesnt autozone or pepboys do free obdII scans?
