Thanks for your help. | | | 10-18-2006, 09:49 PM | #18 | Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Oklahoma City, OK Posts: 45 | See, I replaced my o2 sensor just in case,eventhough it didn't need replacement and I my OBD still generates some code(don't remember what) which is due to my bad Cat Converter now. If you don't have check engine on, you shouldn't worry too much __________________ all stock '95 318ti m42 auto 150,000mi | | | 06-27-2007, 02:16 AM | #19 | Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Nebraska Posts: 39 | hey I didn't see this code on the list. plus it could be because i have a coupe instead of a hatch?

From what I've discovered that code is thrown when your alternator is becoming faulty or has been faulty. I replaced my alternator last fall and did the reset trick and I've drove about 50 miles so far and no codes!!! WOOT! If anyone wants/needs to know the reset trick let me know. Even though I'm not sure what all cars it works on, but I do know for sure it works on a 94 318is!! Hope this helps some people with that 1284 code. | | | 08-05-2009, 03:22 AM | #24 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | I think this thread could use a sticky, I couldn't find it searching, another member had to find it for me EDIT: never mind Last edited by tiFreak; 08-05-2009 at 04:05 AM. | | | 10-12-2009, 11:40 PM | #25 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Cincinnati, OH Posts: 24 | OBD-I code 1238 My '95 is showing multiple instances of code 1238, which I don't find documented anywhere. Has anyone ever figured out what this code indicates?

The only code I got was 1286, which I think has to do with the knock sensor circuit. I'd like to clear the codes and then see if it comes back. I just got the car so I have no idea how long that code has been there. It's a 1995 318ti. | | | 09-16-2010, 10:26 AM | #28 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Hastings NZ Posts: 15 | My auto electrician is having an issue with an error code: 108 continuous voltage/power, this code will not allow him to progress any further in terms of programming either of my ECU's which includes my old unit. He removed my ECU and put the one I purchased from a BMW dealer and this is the error code that it gave, he replaced it with my old one and the same thing happened. Basically he has searched high and low though the internet and most BMW information doesn't appear to have this code? My car doesnt start well in the morning, once warm it runs well. It almost seems like the motor wont reconnise when its cold????? We have change the coil, new titanium plugs, checked air flow hose, change rev/idle control? the electrican has recently up graded his BOSCH code reader and this errors codes started at 100 but still no 108 error code help...!!!!! any thoughts? | | | 02-08-2011, 01:21 AM | #29 | Member Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: OR, USA Posts: 61 | Fault code list in pdf for printing or easy save...
