Reading BMW E91 fault codes with OBDLINK LX

hapklaar · 06-30-2020, 04:02 AM

Some ABS and tirepressure faults just appeared on my dash and I wanted to check them with my ObdLink LX reader. Was able to connect and get cluster data, but all apps (OBDlink, OBDHarry, Torque) all say that no faults are found.

This can't be true as they are shown on my dash and computer.

Do any of you know why they are not shown and know of a way I can read the faults with this OBDLink LX?

Just get BMW Standard Tools and Ista D and a Bimmergeeks
Cable to run them on a PC.
These where made by BMW for BMW's
None of these generic code readers can cover everything.
