Thanks Dave, would these apply to a 1998 528? I would think all bmw codes follow the same numbers....? Regards, Rick |

Oops, of course a 1998 should be using OBD-II, correct? Those codes are consistent among all cars made after 1995. So any OBD-II code reader should be able to give you both the code and the description. But in any case, I did find this:

Wow, Dave. That's a list! Thank you so much. I bought this one thinking I could do my 88 325is and the E39; [www.ebay.com] I have a few E36 friends too... It's on the way. I have a feeling it's my fault the CE lamp came on for the 5er; I fueled up with the motor running twice (I never do that!) I went to autozone and they read the codes but they don't reset anything; P1421, P1423 and P0441, the last one is a bad fuel cap soooo. I red somewhere that codes beginning with P are maintenance items. With the code reader they also send a list of code info so that will be interesting... Thanks Dave, Cheers and Peace |
