While updating software at dealer have codes 2A5F and 2F8A that won't clear. Anyone?
I had my dealer update my software regarding the cold start surging and frequently stalling at low speed turns (sib 12.09.12).
I had codes 2F8a and 2a5f stored in my DME (no SES light on). The car programmed fine (Procede in map 0 mode), and those codes could not be cleared out (currently present). 2F8A in the N55 fault codes list is described as: voltage is present at the DME input (E_U_IGN) although the overload protection relay for ignition and injection has switched off. (suggests replacing that relay if wiring is okay) 2A5F in the N55 fault codes list is described as: The diagnostic function monitors the wire for the injector voltage supply from the overload protection relay for ignition and injection for short circuits to positive. (suggests replacing the relay if wiring is okay) I think they both refer to the same relay. I didn't see either of these in the "normal codes for tuned cars" list for N55's. Any else get these codes? |

No one, eh?
I PM'd Robert @ Vishnu for his input, but as expected, no response yet. |

I've had those codes on my DME i think a while back when i was playing around with a potential DP fix for our cars...
The exact code was this... 2F8A - Ignition, voltage supply: Short circuit to B+ (The diagnostic function monitors the power supply wire providing voltage to the individual ignition coils from the overload-protection relay for ignition and injection, checking for open wires and shorts to ground) These codes simply came up when the second O2 sensor was unplugged. It has nothing really to do with what the code suggests... I tried to clear it using my procede at that time, but could not. So i used my trusty BMS CAN clear tool bought a couple years go and it cleared it right away. Then used the procede to reset the ECU and all was fine. Try that and let us know. |

Huh.. I have access to the shop at my dealership and we couldn't get the code to clear with BMW's programmer (ISTA). I'll try clearing the procede a few times over the next week and maybe it will clear out.
If that's all it is, it's probably tune related and I'll ignore it. Thanks for the reply! |

I have those codes, and they cannot be clear easily. My mechanic has cleared them by resetting a bunch of stuff.
It basically says the relay won't open even when the ignition has been shut off, and the voltage is constantly being sent to DME when it is not suppose to. I don't know if it is doing damage to our car, but it sure is a pain in the ass to look at on diagnostic screen. We even went the extra mile by replacing the relays(two blue one inside the ECU box). The problem persisted. |
