What scan tool are you using? The tool I typically use is identifying the car but not showing codes.this is the code triggering mine...
i’m using BimmerLink (go figure, lol) with and ODBLink adapter. Using the G29 setting of course.What scan tool are you using? The tool I typically use is identifying the car but not showing codes.
also as an fyi, you can use BimmerCode to enable the memory function for Auto Shutoff.i’m using BimmerLink (go figure, lol) with and ODBLink adapter. Using the G29 setting of course.
holy crap for throwing a chassis error! you'd think that will all that computing power, it could have thrown a more specific errorSo I got my car back from the dealer yesterday and it so far I haven’t seen any warning messages. Turns out that the issue was indeed the auto headlight height adjuster arm.
I just got this chassis error today after taking car in for first service. I’ve had the car lowered 2 months no issue but of course take it to dealership a for simple oil change and BOOM code on the way home.Want to hopefully help out people that are getting this message after lowering their cars. There are auto leveling arms on the driver side front and rear. If you remove this during install of suspension. Make sure you put the locker pin in the correct place before tightening down. I took mine off during install of coilovers because of the thin wires this car is made with and I did not want to snap a sensor. But upon putting the rear back on I did not align the locking pin in the correct hole which was causing this error and had my headlights pointed at the sky. Hope this helps anyone doing suspension on their cars and gets this message.
check the front and rear sensors. I've read dealerships damaging the sensors during oil changes. If they are not locked in properly it will cause an issue. make sure its secured into the hole. Or perhaps they really did just damage the sensor and will replace it for you.I just got this chassis error today after taking car in for first service.

turning the car off and back on causes it to go away then comes back within a couple minutes if driving
only codes showing in Jb4 are the ones that are always there
Turns out it was the ride height sensor bracket. It must have snapped when they put the car on the lift to do the oil change. They tried to blame me lowering the car but I reminded them I had no issue or warning until after they changed the oil. Had to order a new one from Germany.check the front and rear sensors.

It looks like this is pretty common, Visconti even sells an aluminum replacementTurns out it was the ride height sensor bracket.

Interesting, just went ahead and bought it to save myself the headache of another plastic one breaking the next time it goes on a dyno or a lift for an oil change.It looks like this is pretty common, Visconti even sells an aluminum replacement
