iDrive not reading my oil level all of the sudden (3446 and 38A4 codes).
Hi,
I've got a e92 335i n55 (108k miles) and today I tried reading my oil level and to my surprise iDrive said "Measurement inactive. Service interval adjusted. Have the system checked during next oil service". Naturally I don't want to wait a few months for my next oil change as I like keeping track of my oil level ( I put a liter 2 weeks ago as it has consumed it all in less than a year ). My DME codes are: 3446 - BSD, message; oil condition sensor: Missing. 38A4 - BSD, message; intelligent battery sensor (IBS): Missing. I've noticed in other forums that the 38A4 one is just a consequence of the other one so I don't think there is a problem with the IBS sensor (could be wrong, just guessing). I've also seen people get other BSD related codes along with these ones so I am not sure what is triggering mine exactly. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Update: just did the oil change and swapped the sensor with the ridex one from autodoc. Problem is still there and I am still getting the same codes... I don't know what to do anynmore

Also just mention that the sensor was receiving power so in theory there is nothing wrong with the electric line/harness. I am thinking it could be software / ECU related maybe.

My interpretation of your two-reported Faults is that the DME is NOT able to communicate with the OZS (Oil Condition Sensor) via the BSD Bus (Violet wire as shown on attached ISTA ScreenPrint). ALWAYS check wiring BEFORE replacing component, as suggested in "Service Plan" in Fault Info sheet linked below. If you would like test suggestions using $10 US/ 10 Quid (Amazon UK) Multimeter, please advise & provide Last-7 Characters of VIN. Generally: you want to inspect each of the Pins & Sockets, & the Violet wire where it attaches at X62540/1 and ALSO at X60002/43. Then TEST wire for continuity between X62540/1 & X60002/43. ALSO Test for "Short" to Chassis Ground. Here are "BMW Fault Code Lookup" definitions of those two codes, with Fault Info Sheet for each linked below definition: 3446 | BSD, message; oil condition sensor: Missing | mevd176k | Engine electronics https://bmwfault.codes/XMLDiagView?d...kAMAAxADAANAA= 38A4 | BSD, message; intelligent battery sensor (IBS): Missing | mevd176k | Engine electronics https://bmwfault.codes/XMLDiagView?d...kAMAAxADAANAA= Attached are ISTA ScreenPrints of the Violet BSD Interface wire, with Connector Location & Connector View (for Pin# ID) of the Connectors at the OZS & X60002 at the DME beneath the Intake Manifold.
