1995 530i Need a scan

[Buckeye1647545503]

any sponcers or members have the ability to scan said car? It has a miss and a CEL and knowing what it is telling me whould make life easier. OR is the a system to jumper terminals and get it to flash codes Like a old chevy?

[Guest tbutera2112]

do they not use OBDII like most cars? if so, advanced or auto zone will scan it free

[Guest Removed]

does it have the obd2 plug? if not i dont

 

 

if it dont, there should be a big round plug under the hood...you have to pull the codes with a tool that plug into that.

obd2 was not mandated till 1996 production cars..

 

gm bata tested early as 91 in geo stuff(same time they started testing flash prom ecus)

[Guest tbutera2112]

[Buckeye1647545503]

Thank you anson that seemed to work. If I read it correct it has a code 1213. Now off to google to find what that means that or to library to see alldata

[Guest Removed]

Code 1213 Oxygen sensor #2 lean/rich control stop [1]

 

thats what comes up with tesing it without bmw tester.

 

 

with the tester the codes go no higher then 200 #'s

[Buckeye1647545503]

I fired it up tonight and it ran great for like 1 minute then started to miss again. It may very well need a o2 but it domestics #2 means after cat, and that should not make it miss like a dead cyclinder. I am gonna double check the code.

[Guest Removed]

remember bmw has 2 collectors..i may very well have 2 front 02's..and since its not obd2, i dont think it will have rear o2s....i wouldnt hurt to look at it and count the 02's on it..lol

 

look at the wiring diagram

 

there is only 1 o2, for each bank

so it bank 2..and yes they are like dodges, the heater can short out in them and fuck with closed loop...

[Buckeye1647545503]

Ya I am going to look in to them but a quick read mentions air leaks and intake gaskets. I had already noticed yesterday a slight air intake sound from rear of drivers intake. I did not have anything to spray at it but I most deff want to check that further since it mentioned it

[Jeff1647545535]

smoke machine works wonders for stuff like that.

[boostedgtp]

The air intake boot gets dry rotted and splits in between the grooves on it. You can take a mirror and look on the back side of it where it connects to the throttle body, also look on the small leg of the boot that goes to the IAC.
