Errors on the BMW dashboard

Food problem icon. Unlocking will occur when you press the accelerator pedal. Control lamp of activation of back antifog lanterns The control lamp works at activation of back antifog lanterns and continues to burn before switching off of the last.

Disabling the front passenger airbags.

Yellow or orange means that a certain part of the car needs service or repair in the near future. The electronic throttle control indicator indicates a malfunction.

Modern cars have many sensors and sensors, and also have electronic engine control. All information from the sensors is sent to the on-board computer of the car.

In case of any error, malfunction or the need to inform the driver of important information, car manufacturers have provided a large number of symbols and inscriptions on the dashboard that light up under certain conditions. Unfortunately, the wide variety of symbols on the dashboard of many drivers is confusing, and sometimes even scary.

Exceeding the permissible temperature in the automatic transmission. Low oil level in automatic transmission.

Warning icons on the panel

The steering wheel icon can light up in two colors. If the yellow steering wheel is on, then adaptation is required, and when a red image of the steering wheel with an exclamation mark appears, you should already worry about the failure of the power steering or the EUR system. When the red steering wheel is on, it will probably be very difficult to turn the steering wheel.

The immobilizer icon usually flashes when the car is locked; in this case, the indicator of a red car with a white key signals the operation of the anti-theft system. But there are 3 main reasons if the immo light is constantly on: the immobilizer is not activated, the key label is not read, or the anti-theft system is faulty.

The parking brake icon lights up not only when the parking brake lever is activated (raised), but also when the brake pads are worn or the brake fluid needs to be topped up / replaced. In a vehicle with an electronic parking brake, the parking brake lamp may come on due to a faulty limit switch or sensor.

Warning indicator lamps

If this indicator is constantly on, turn off the engine and remove the key. Wait 30 seconds and restart the engine. If the light stays on or flashes, contact a repair technician, or if the vehicle vibrates or moves slowly, seek roadside assistance.

This light will normally come on for a few seconds when the ignition is on, but if it comes on while the engine is running, it is safe to take it to the garage to check the engine and fix the problem.

If this light stays on, add engine oil. The User Guide contains more information on how to do this. If this indicator flashes, the sensor is faulty. A trip to a car service.

The anti-lock braking system has failed. The vehicle will continue to brake normally, but the ABS and ESP may not work when needed. Drive carefully to a repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

If this indicator flashes while driving, this is a normal function. The lamp reports ESP or traction control interference. If it is constantly on, you may have pressed the "ESP off" button. This can be resumed by turning the car on and off. If the light stays on, contact a repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

If the vehicle has been recently started, or the battery has been disconnected or discharged, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, then all the way to the left and drive briefly at a speed of 15-20 km/h, drive to a safe place for a car service.

Safety and vehicle warning indicators

• A red highlight indicates a problem requiring immediate attention.
• An orange backlight most likely indicates a less serious problem, such as a vehicle that needs service.
• Other symbol colors, such as blue and green, provide additional information to the driver. Flashing warning lights alert the driver to an urgent problem.

On machines manufactured in 1985-1995, the following sensors will help monitor the engine lubrication system:

Reason: the unlock relay on the ZKE block (aka GM) often dies.

Recommendation: 1- Replace the ZKE unit (requires coding). 2- Solder the old relay and replace

similarly (only there is no guarantee that the block will live for a long time).

Note: In general, the ZKE block often dies on the E46.

E53 (X5), E46

Problem: When you turn on the dimensions, the rear door (trunk) opens.

Cause: Short circuit in the trunk lining (between the contact of the unlock button and the contact of the license plate light).

Recommendation: Clean the connector contacts on the trim and replace the trim if necessary.

Wiper blades (ZKE)

E38, E39, E46

Problem: Rain sensor (AIC) not working, "Does not fit glass" errors, or

"Internal ECU Error"

Cause: The sensor is not installed on the glass, is not configured in the software, or is loosely fixed,

the lens may have detached from the glass.

Recommendation: Visually inspect the glass. I saw a case: they replaced the glass with a new one without a sensor

(the sensor was transferred from the old glass and the lens was re-glued, this design will not work).

Re-initialize the DIS sensor and clear the errors.

If replacing the sensor does not help, it is better to replace the glass

(the lens is glued at the factory and replaced with glass).

Problem: Glitches and implausible dashboard readings

Recommendation: Recode the instrument panel, often full blackout in the cabin

1-2 minutes (simply remove all fuses from the tidy).

Problem: Error "Internal failure in the LM block"

Reason: 95% sure: the mileage is crooked (but crooked only on tid, they forgot to wind it on LM

There may be other reasons for logging the error, but I have not seen them.

Recommendation: Compare the mileage data on the LM block with the indication on the ordinate,

if they do not match, then the diagnosis is skewed, if they match, then the diagnosis is skewed,

but for a long time the mileage on the ordered one has caught up with the mileage on the LM or ...... ..

Problem: Fuel Gauge Shows Half of What It Really Is

Cause: One of the two sensors indicates an empty tank or a data coding error in

panel.

Recommendation: Check the resistance of the sensors, replace the defective one, you can get

and clean the surface of the sensor with a contact cleaner (helps for a while).

If the sensors are ok, recode the board.

Note: on E36, the wires often come out of the connector on the sensor cover on the fuel side

pump (available on other bodies), welding helps for 1-2 months, since the insulation

wires tanned with gasoline, they again come off just under the solder.

Problem: The stove fan periodically spontaneously changes speed,

regardless of this; can be turned off, and after turning off the ignition and idling

you can win; it may also not develop maximum speed.

Cause: In 95% of cases, the final stage of the fan (hedgehog) is to blame. The remaining 5% goes to

the fan itself and the climate control unit.

Reading fault codes

Deciphering the indicators on the dashboard of a Lada Priora car Note: on the E38 body, such a malfunction is theoretically possible, but I have not seen it.

If you still have to go upstairs to check the engine or hedgehog, then be prepared to remove

the top of the torpedo. In this body, the stove motor itself often dies.

Icons indicating various faults

You cannot drive a vehicle when this icon is on.

Most often, the problem is in the lubrication system or a drop in oil level and pressure. On the instrument panel, the oil level can be indicated by just two letters: H and L, (high and low), respectively.

The (airbag) icon lights up in different ways. It can be red inscriptions like "AIRBAG" or "SRS", or a figure of a person with a fastened seat belt.

The appearance of one of these indicators means that there is a malfunction in the vehicle's security system, which can lead to the failure of the airbags in an accident.

The icon (exclamation mark) has different interpretations of its appearance and therefore its meanings will also be different.

If suddenly a red exclamation mark inscribed in a circle appears on the board, then it is better to stop the movement.

The glow plug icon will illuminate on the dashboard of a diesel vehicle. The same check is only for a diesel engine, if it is constantly on, then there is an error in the ECU memory. If there are no errors, it turns off after the glow plugs are turned off.
