Error codes not in service manual. presumme dealers can assist you with a pnhonecall for error codes.

BMW SERVICE RESET

Take a small wire, paperclip, or elect wire and bend like a horseshoe. No light or equipment necessary Open the diagnostic data port, the one were the little pacman centre is located. Turn the ignition to position 2, don’t start. Connect pin7 always first and then pin 19. Hold for 4 seconds. Remove wire and settings will be reset. Warning if you hold the wire longer than 10 seconds you may reset inspection intervals 1 and 2.

I’ve done this twice and it definitely work on my E36

My 1999 bmw z3 will crank but will not start , code A9 & 44 shows up , air pump keeps running when ignition is on & drains the battery out.engine light & EML light comes on.

Not sure on this one.....if it's "drive by wire" that means the accelerator pedal is connected to the intake electronically, and that may be where the A9 code comes from. Saturns are drive by wire and it's a common failure point for them. spark, compression and gas is all you need for the engine to run. you can put a fuel pressure gauge on the rail to determine fuel, assume that the compression is good, and pull a spark plug and ground it while cranking to see if gets a spark...

My 1999 BMW Z3 will crank & will not start.I used Bavarian code reader code A9 & code 44 show up.What do I need to replace?

an engine needs fuel, compression, and spark to go....check those things first. Put a fuel pressure gauge on the rail, then remove a plug and ground it to see if it sparks, lastly, run a compression check on it. make sure the cam is turning as well.

My 1997 BMW Z3 1.9 engine Convertible " Engine Check Light Stays On" Please Help with SUGGESTIONS. Thanks

What you need to do is get a scanner and pull the code(s). They will help you to know where you need to investigate next...REMEMBER the code is a clue NOT necessarily the issue. For example, a lean condition can manifest as a missfire, and you can get oxygen sensor limit errors...and these items are registering correctly (meaning replacement does nothing). Pull the codes and go from there.

Check Engine light on 1998 BMW Z3 roadster

yes the light is because of the gas cap being gone (sets code in evaporative emissions system), replace the gas cap, disconnect the battery for five minutes and that will turn of/reset the light, make sure u have the radio code before u do this, if u don't u will have no radio after the battery is disconnected..

Air Bag stay on BMW Z3 2003?

There must be a problem with the air bag system for the light to be on, if the system was o.k. the light would be off and have a stored code. You cannot reset this light with a generic obd2 scanner. You need to access the air bag system and read what codes it has stored. Good Luck.
