Exhaust flap codes. Flaps wont open

aarongalve · 01-04-2022, 03:55 PM

bought used m4 with 19k miles on the clock.

Found these codes

Anything to be worried about?
Seems like the first 3 are to disable the exhaust flaps to make it louder right?
and the last owner probably coded out the start stop function too right?
But the valves are not opened at all. How would I go into checking if the previous owner has disabled the flaps. Everything is plugged in and the fuses in the trunk are there.
190f03 and 194201 and 1FB101 is what concerns me.
Looked at the exhaust valves they seem to be closed.

Did some research it seems that 138102 is serious cause its draining the battery hence the 1FB101 correct me if I'm wrong.

Appears as if the valve wiring may be faulty. Get under and make sure they're all plugged in correctly.

Sorry I have misinformed everyone. The flaps actually do open. I checked all the wiring everything seems to be plugged in. Just concerned about the codes now at this point. really cool how bimmercode doesn't work with a THOR adapter tho :/. ordered a new wifi adapter for this car.

New to the platform. Coming from the N54. What should I use to clear out shadow codes?

I use my Bootmod3 diagnostics tab to clear and check.

Do I need to be tuned with bootmod3 to clear shadow codes?. I know that with MHD it wont clear those type of codes unless you are flash tuned with them or so I read.

I think a BM3 license is required, but a tune installed is not.

Dang ok. I'm not planning to tune the car at all. Do you think there is another option other than dropping $600 just to clear some codes? Ill try everything lowest to highest.

Also I was wondering wtf is 190f03 and 194201 it seems like I would need to replace NVLD something to do with the fuel tank ventilation idk. Anyone else have this problem? I know the 2015's have this warrantied. But I'm 2016 so maybe they wont warranty me on this work?

Everything on your list is under shadow codes, not active codes. You can easily go to the dealership and ask for a code-scan and clear. That should wipe out all the codes and let you check in a day or so.

Thanks I live next to a bmw dealership so I will get this done.

*update went to the nearest BMW dealership they used a scanner and tried to clear codes. Nothing happened. No codes cleared. Still lost on what to do. The car drives perfectly though for now. But still has me worried.

Ignore them. Shadow codes are inactive and some may clear over time. It's typical paranoia, we all get it.
