Cold Cold Start/Service Engine Soon Light

C.Shopp335xi · 02-09-2012, 06:48 PM

Car has been sitting in the cold for a few days/nights and when it was started today the service engine soon light was on. Could this be because it has been in the cold and not driven/started for a few days? I am not in the country, but I have it a family member's house (thus how the info was relayed to me). Just wondering if they should drive it around and see if the light goes out or not.

Also had the low tire pressure light on (from the cold), would this trigger the SESL? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Have them put air in the tires and they should take it to autozone to have the codes checked; they check it for free.

It solves rpm fluctuating upon cold start-up. Also, for most BMW problems start off by scanning your car with the Peake Research Tool. It contains the actual BMW codes. If you want to register a newly installed battery for free (just buy a $10 cable) and google/download BMWLogger
