Lots of codes...Not sure where to start
The car is a 2013 328i w/97k and no mods. It runs and drives like it always has. About a month ago the CEL came on and since I've got a little extra time, I finally got around to checking them on the Carly app. There's so many that i'm not sure where to start (if its even worthwhile to try or just trade it in...idk).
Here goes... Engine has 12 issues Fault Memory CDA904 FA CAN message (status trailers, 0x2E4): missing 1D2404 Map controlled thermostat, control: line break 190302 Tank venting - and purge air micro leak: leakage greater than .5mm Info Memory INFO 21A416 Breakdown data storage: Group error INFO 1D2402 Map-controlled thermostat, control: Short circuit to ground INFO 152D08 Super knocking: Injection shutdown INFO 152408 Super knocking cylinder: Injection shutdown INFO 193208 Fuel level, plausibility deviation btw consumption & lvl change INFO 193A20 Fuel level, collective error: signal and electrically INFO 152308 Super knocking cylinder 4: Injection shutdown INFO 118001 Mixture too lean INFO 11CF30 Mixture ECU: Group error Infotainment Fault Memory E1C440 Reset/Monitoring circuit reset triggered B7F8C6 Brightness reduction due to temperature exceeded Central Electronics (BDC) Fault Memory 030410 Multifunction steering wheel (MFL): lack of LIN slave D90C0D LIN master E: no communication Info Memory INFO 804029 SEK battery undervoltage INFO 80402B NVM_CRC_DEFAULT INFO 804050 PIA_E_IO_ERROR I guess a new battery and spark plugs to start off? Any guidance would be great! |

Battery is 7 years old. Wow
I say you probably have a WEAK Battery. Seven years and 97k miles is great.
I usually get 5 1/2 years on a battery. Charging up your battery may not work but is worth a try. Weak batteries can give strange Fault Codes. Best bet is to replace the battery and clear all faults. Your battery is done. I believe that the “Info faults“ can not be cleared by Carly. See where you wind up after this. Wallyf |

Some of the codes might be temporary (happened in past) and/or linked with each other, so maybe best to clear all the codes and see which ones would come again. Of course, first get battery charged, if not replaced since weak battery could cause a lot of false alarm codes...
It is virtually impossible that from properly working car suddenly you get so many issues. |

I charged the battery and cleared the codes. ...but the CEL returned w/less codes. There are 2 engine codes still (outside the info codes)
CDA904 FA CAN message (status trailers, 0X2E4) missing 1D2404 Map-controlled thermostat, control: line break I also still get the batter undervoltage code. I took the car to AutoZone and they tested both the battery and alternator and said they were both were fine. I also charged the battery (it was at 89%). Does anyone know how long bmw extended the warranty for that thermostat for? |

Not that I don't trust Autozone, but depending on how they tested your battery, they may not have tested it so well. Did they load test it?
A battery can show decent voltage but not have the amps. Your therm code 'may' indicate a 'line' outside of the therm...which may have to do with what's 'missing' from the code above. Not sure what the FA CAN is exactly, but I'd 'guess' it's a 'forward area' network...so if it's got an issue, it might not signal the therm . All speculation before you 'maybe' buy a new therm for no reason...not saying you don't need one, though. Warranty was 4 years/50K miles (I thought).

Well, the battery is back down to 67% when I put the charger on it. So, it appears I’ll make a trip to p/u a new battery. Crazy how it’s bad and the car cranks perfectly fine.
Any chance that resolves the other codes? |

Wow. I am only starting to realize how important a good battery is on these cars. This forum is great for stuff like this. It's good to see higher mileage BMW's on here. It seems most owners turn them in after 40-50k.

It appears this is exactly what was needed to solve the CEL.

Having had BMWs for many years, I now change the battery as soo as it reaches 6 years, if it gets there. Ok it’s a big expense but you will likely also need to change the thermostat on the F30 around this time too, so my suggestion is always to read your codes and decide what is easy about to do yourself, such as registering the battery and changing the thermostat and so forth.
