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.

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?

Did you find something that works because i got code 138104 on my stage 2 2017 340i after my muffler delete and i cant find a solution

Replied in your other post on this. It has a form of resister in it so it maintains the circuit.

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.
