Quick troubleshooting help. Why BMW has to make stuff so difficult is beyond me but here we are. Ok new battery is installed so that part is fine. I haven’t reset the battery setting, can’t until Monday when my dongle arrives, but I can’t imagine (or I can) that would cause the starter to not function accordingly. Or maybe it can but it’s got full voltage so who knows.
It’s quite intermittent I hit the start button sometimes starts right up. Then sometimes it just clicks, then hit it again and it Starts right up. The autostart/stop will sometimes restart sometimes not. I can’t find a dedicated relay (like many cars) that controls starter function seems to be in the BDC on this car but if anyone knows that would be helpful.
Since starters cost $400 (got quotes for up to $660 fyi) for this car would suck if there was something else that might cause it. I can’t see anything but some of you guys have been deep in the Supra and might know. Since it is a 2019 build car and the starter sits next to the exhaust I guess it could be bad by now?
As always you guys are awesome appreciate any input.
I get these errors (see image)
