My car is going nuts
Here is a video of it going into limp mode without any warning, and after a turn off/on: https://youtu.be/DLWsDDoCulg Last edited by thesamiest; 08-29-2017 at 11:52 AM. Reason: Added a video |

Just a guess but it might be the DME unit (the brains of the engine--controls every calculation in the engine). I had mine replaced luckily in April 2016 (there is an 8 year warranty on them from BMW). The failure rate on those is really, really low though--like 1 car in 300 they go bad.

Thanks for the suggestion. I would not doubt that this isn't the 1 in the 300, i will have to check. Do you know where the DME is located? Why did you have yours replaced? Last edited by thesamiest; 08-29-2017 at 01:40 PM. |

I'm not sure where it's located. My car shut down on the freeway and threw up a bunch of codes--that's all I remember specifically.

1 in 300? That's a recall Try one in 10,000 id be hard pressed to suggest he chase after DME issues . OP, how do you know the battery is good? 'Holding a charge' is not a great test. If the car did the same things before, and that was a bad battery, it would seem easy to rule out a battery. Like 200 euros easy... |

Just changed the throttle body again yesterday, same issue however it did not go erratic, but that happens only sometimes after going into limp mode and the car kept throwing the same errors. The harness they're calming is not the issue, but i'll have to check that again.

9V sounds a bit low but don't forget your starter motor draws *a lot* of current, which will lead to a temporary voltage drop.
