Might be a dumb question but if someone codes out the issue, will they disable the check engine light from coming up again or will they just just remove the codes causing the cel? I want to make sure the check engine light will come up for other issues when needed.

That's definitely not a dumb question and one that if you're not familiar you should ask.

The ISTA software is used to code out the motor for the active grill. So if anything else was to arise with the vehicle, the check engine light would still come on.

All this time later and still no issue having the cel for the shutter motor via coding it out?

I'll see if I can find his contact info in my phone. I'm not sure if they can do coding remote though?

The guy I used live near me.

Just curious, have you tried other tools like Bimmerlink or Protool? I'd be surprised if ISTA were the only tool that could do this.
