Fuel Tank Leak HELP??

(15' 435i X-Drive 87K Stock)

Car spit out a code after diagnosing with Carly
Code: 194201 (Tank leak module, timer: malfunction)

Codes that popped up too

21A023: False start or engine starting without driver influence

1FB501: Check control module (ID 27)

Any ideas of what it could be? Or DIY videos? There's only one post related to this so curious if anyone has any info to help

Did you have a CEL? Could just be pending codes, I'd say clear them out and see if they come back.

To side not also I've cleared the codes but I also keep receiving low battery voltage. I've charged the battery and got it tested, has consistently sat at 24V. Any suggestions?

Unless you have a semi, that 24v readout is erroneous... Well, it's either that or the alternator is severely overcharging your battery; I'd expect things to blow though at 24v...

Have you ever replaced the battery? Sounds like your battery is on the way out to me.

Based on age and mileage, I would agree as well. This coincides with the numerous reports of weird codes that get thrown when the battery is on its way out.

Yeah weird ass codes, + the low battery voltage is a dead giveaway.
