emission fault

jmmmn · 05-19-2018, 03:53 AM

please help! I just bought bmw f30 2016, 40000 km. it shows emission fault on screen behind steering wheel. on navi screen everything is ok, vehicle status all checked green
anyone have any idea what that could be?

The only way to know is to check the codes with an OBDII scanner. It could be serious, could be just a loose fuel tank cap.

+1 that's the check engine light and there could be any number of things. I had it come on recently when my spark plug and fuel injector needed changing.

thanks guys. the vehicle was on parking almost half a year, maybe it has something with it. it is still under warranty so I'll check with BMW service

Common would be the Fuel Leak Detection Module. NVLD. New BMWs have a different light for gas cap lose

I also thought it had something to do with fuel. maybe because the range is 0? I saw one clip on YouTube where some guy driving 3 series, the range is 2 miles and the emission fault is on. Unfortunately, right now am not in position to add fuel and check is this is a reason. whatever the reason is, that will be the first thing to do when I get the car, for sure

Might be the case but I doubt it.
The only sure way is to check what code it is throwing.
I have seen the mileage go negative before.
