Service Engine Soon Light comes on after filling up?

The other reason to take it in for a warranty claim is that it is not certain that replacing the sensor will resolve the problem. It could equally be caused by the engine wiring harness, and a failure in the circuit that connects to this sensor.

Guys thanks for all of the advice. Well I can use a little time off of work anyway. I guess I will call and set something up with the dealer. Just wondering (I am going to get this fixed) but can I do any harm to the engine driving it until I get it there say for a few days while they are trying to get me in?

Thanks.

i'm not an expert, but i'd go ahead and say no. These cars are so technologically advanced that if something were to go seriously wrong, you'd go into engine failsafe mode and it'd shut you down...

No, all that will happen is that you will have higher exhaust emissions (and the nuisance light on the dash) until it is repaired.

On my X5 there is an evap solenoid on the right head, front of the block, (drivers side). The valve inside gets sticky. Every so often, I remove it and give it a shot of lubrication. I apply 12 volts to the solenoid "directly" a few times to cycle it. It is usually good for a year or so then it sticks again. The DTC is 0443. This can be read with an obd2 scan tool.

FYI. Took the X5 in to have the SES...issue fixed...it was 2nd air flow sensor...they replaced and looked over everything else. The X is in good shape now.

As far as the BMW emblem..."wear and tear" I know the S A didn't even want to tell me that...I was just like what? $65.00 to replace...I told her that if it comes off again I will get it replaced...I think it is good for now.

Thanks for everyone's help...
