2004 X5, 3.0i - Engine light Oxygen Sensors
Hi Everyone,
I have the codes shown below and its related Freeze Frame. Does this mean that I have to replace all 4 Oxygen sensors? Your insights much appreciated. Thanks Trouble Codes Fault Code Status Description EB DME: Trimming, oxygen sensor before cat., bank 1 EC DME: Trimming, oxygen sensor before cat., bank 2 Freeze Frame Name Value Unit DTC that caused required freeze frame data storage P1093 Fuel system A status CL Fuel system B status CL Calculated load value 29.8 % Engine coolant temperature 79 °C Short term fuel trim -bank 1 11.7 % Long term fuel trim - bank 1 0 % Short term fuel trim -bank 2 10.9 % Long term fuel trim - bank 2 0 % Engine RPM 2024 rpm Vehicle speed sensor 34 km/h Ignition timing advance for #1 cylinder 26 ° Intake air temperature 28 °C Air flow rate from mass air flow sensor 21.7 g/s Absolute throttle position 12.2 % Commanded secondary air status OFF |
It’s possible, but I don’t think it’s likely. It’s rare they fail at same time.
I think you have a problem with fuel trims, rich or lean but most likely lean.. The fuel trim data listed in “snapshot” above is a little suspicious. S/T above 10% an L/T at 0%…that’s kind of doubtful. It could be something as simple as a torn intake boot (have a look) or vacuum leak causing a lean condition, but it could also be many other things. I’d suggest a consult with a proper non-dealer BMW specialist fir this. |
Rear O2 sensors are rarely changed compared to front ones. Rears fail due to bad FT over long periods of time. Front ones take a lot of abuse. It's adding too much fuel. Good sign it's a vacuum leak.
Check the O2 sensor voltages. Do readings oscillate? |
Thank you guys. How about MAF, could that be a culprit?
|
Suddenly adding a bunch of fuel suggests either a vacuum leak or a failing fuel pump to me.
Could it be a MAF? Sure. But that's not my first choice. I'd be doing a fuel pressure test and looking for vacuum leaks first, though. |
Any updates to this forum? I am having the same two error codes on my car. I had it smoked, but did not see any leaks. I did the CCV replacement but that hasnt fixed it. At 216k miles, I am kinda ok driving around with a check engine light... but maybe this is fixable,
I have seen suggestions of clogged injectors, and I never use any injector cleaner... but wouldn't that have misfires codes along with it? |
