Engine Oil - Unable to determine status

I flashed stage 1 BM3 on my car.

Everything was fine until after 20mins of driving I turned it on and off now it’s saying

“Engine Oil- Unable to determine status. Please make an appointment with your service center”

Anyone know how to fix this?

Please let me know

Update**

I reflashed car to stock the code went away, then flashed back to stage 1.

Everything seems fine.

I made sure to download the map, then flashing after instead of doing it at once.

You just installed BM3 stage 1 for the first time tonight? Same here. Thoughts so far? Aside from the oil status issue of course.

I had a license for my 528 so it took me some time to figure out I needed to use a different login account. Then I got fairly nervous after the initial flash… i knew the error messages were coming but they typically clear at the end of the flash. This time, it cycled through the entire flash again. I was panicked for that five minutes, then I saw the “success” message.

First drive in comfort mode was interesting, I drove conservatively for 15 mins or so. Some highway, some back roads and noticed some difference. Enetering the highway at even light throttle, there’s an obvious difference. Coming home, I let it pull at moderate throttle. The Mini Cooper behind me on the entrance ramp disappeared quickly. I’m actually nervous about trying sport mode.

In contact with bootmod3 waiting for them to help.

Will most likely flash back to stock.

Not cool.

It happens. You need to do *Download, flash later option.*

Bm3 support will advise you as well.

Happened to many of us.
