E46 M3 DME / ECU Error Codes

[Martyn]

Courtesy of NikolaiD...

The first two colums are the error code # in decimal and hexadecimal. The third column tells you if that code will trigger an OBD2 relevant code. The fourth column is the description, some of these have been paraphrased. The last 4 columns are the possible variations of the codes. The variation code table is in post #3.

For example:
Code 170, AA, Minimum flow of secondary air, could have four versions: 23-Bench 1 too small; 24-Bench 2 too small; 25-both Benches too small or 09-1000 - Condition / value implausible / over-temperature

Cross-reference table. If you have one scanner, but the code is not listed, or vague, here are what different scanners define them as:

Column 1 is the error code # in decimal.
Column 2 is the error code # in hex.
Column 3 is the error as INPA would describe it.
Column 4 is the error as DIS would describe it.
Column 5 is the error as it is described in the PEAKE reader manual Table 18.

Awesome, do you have the list of the SW variant and their binary address? I have the DTC location PDF saved with the full strands, but there’s no descriptions in that. It’s just all hex.

[thegenius46m]

If someone has the table with the decimal, hex, and hex code strings that would be insanely useful. As well as the table PITTM3RR requested.

There you go, here's the entire excel sheet, with the deletion strategies. Rename the file to extension "xlsx" instead of "doc" and use it as an excel file.
Enjoy.

Hello

Been searching and coming up empty. Maybe doesn't exist?

Anyone know what the "hex" error codes are for following lean faults?

P0171 System Too Lean (Bank 1)
P0174 System Too Lean (Bank 2)



Above tables do show the hex error codes for the rich mixtures,
