yeah. i guess something tripped the computer and it went to limp/safe mode. how do i get out of it?

I doubt it's related to the angel eyes. Scan for codes.

You probably disconnected something like the ABS sensor.

I can't see how replacing angel eyes will result in limp mode.

Maybe his hand hit something in the engine bay when changing them out.

I've been looking through it all day and nothing is unplugged. I'm starting to think that it's due to the voltage or something bc it seems like its draining the battery. Since I don't have a way to diagnosis it myself, I'll take it to a auto shop that can.

yeah i put the oem ones back on and it still in limp mode. I'm guessing i did something to change the voltage or something...why would it stay in limp mode!

bimmer03231984 · 12-14-2011, 11:47 AM

So the code it read was variable timing valve. What is it?
