P0E5B BMW Fault Code

Description:

BMW Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Intermittent The MAF sensor circuit is monitored by the PCM for sudden voltage (or air flow) input change through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM).

If during the last 40 warm-up cycles in key ON engine running the PCM detects a voltage (or air flow) change beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous memory diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.

P0E5B Code Symptoms :

When you turn on the ignition, the Service Engine Soon or Check Engine P0E5B light should flash briefly, indicating that the OBD system is ready to scan your vehicle for any malfunctions. After this brief flash, the light should stay off while you drive as long as no problems are detected. If so, you'll be glad to know that your vehicle is equipped with an early warning system that could save you time, money, and fuel in addition to helping protect the P0E5B!

Diagnosis And Repairing P0E5B

P0E5B OBD 2 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.

How to fix P0E5B code ?

• Failures of clutch motion/travel sensors.
• Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit)
• Fuel injectors may be faulty
• Faulty starter motor

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code P0E5B, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir.

Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code P0E5B on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
