Coding availability for exhaust flaps?
I have a 2019 M550i and I'm running straight pipes, so the exhaust flaps (along with the entire muffler) are completely out. The plug is not connected to anything so Im getting a code.
The code I'm getting is "138104 and 138102 / Permanent / Exhaust flap; activation: Open circuit" One of the guys on this forum recommended this product from ECS Tuning: I called ECS and ordered them because I need them anyway, however, these are only plastic covers which "protect the actuator plug from the elements when using a non valved exhaust" - as described on the ECS website. Link: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/18302411427/ Does anyone know if there is any way to code the car to either bypass this function? Or is there any other fix available for this issue? Thanks in advance. I know I could always pull the fuse (theres a thread on this forum somewhere) - but would that prevent the car from throwing the code?

If this plug doesn't turn get rid of your code, I think I saw somewhere (you'd have to research) that you can just run a jumper from one of the pins to the other to close the circuit and make the car think it's plugged into something.
Do your research before attempting, though! I could be wrong, and if you do it wrong or it's not possible... well, electronics may do electronic things and cause more issues. |
