Chassis Malfunction

M3NetNerd · 05-06-2015, 10:15 PM

I did the SCCA track night in America. During the second session my gas light came on and 1/2 lap later I got a Chassis Malfunction.

Is this "chassis malfunction" something that we should start keeping track of as a group? It seems to be coming up more and more for those who track our cars.

Once I filled the car up and turned it on the error went away.

My car is at the dealer right now for the third time for this same problem. IIRC the very first time it did it I was very low on gas also. I filled up (code goes away when car is turned off) and went back on the track only to have it happen again. I think the low gas is just coincidence, and likely a problem with the EDC sensors like me(you have M Adaptive also?).

We're thinking we could just disconnect the EDC wires in the front struts while at the track to avoid problems until they figure out a fix for this. They've replaced a sensor of mine already but didn't solve the problem.

I do have EDC. It didn't come back on for the third session. Interesting that your gas light came on also. Probably just a coincidence, but something to keep note of.

As long as I have a 1/2 tank of gas before going out for a session the issue has not returned.
