What are the common fault codes and their meaning to BMW?

With so many moving parts, there are countless fault codes that tell you what needs attention on your BMW. Your OBD system detects faults in your car and displays a trouble code that tells you and your mechanic what needs service in order to get your vehicle back on the road.
While there are many BMW fault codes, here are the most common fault codes and their meanings.
BMW Fault Code: P1014
If your BMW presents the fault code P1014, it’s highly likely a result of an issue with your vehicle’s valvetronic eccentric shaft sensor. “Valvetronic Eccentric Shaft Sensor Reference” is a general description for this particular code.

BMW Fault Code: P1017
When the P1017 fault code is displayed on a BMW, it indicates “Valvetronic Eccentric Shaft Sensor Plausibility.” This code, though similar, is not the same as P1014. It can be caused by particular conditions such as poor electrical connections in the shaft sensor or a missing reluctor on your BMW’s valvetronic eccentric shaft sensor.

BMW Fault Code: P1023
When this code is displayed, it corresponds with the description: “Valvetronic Adjustment Range.” Similar to the codes above, this code is related to the health of your BMW’s valvetronic eccentric shaft in the engine.
BMW ICOM A2 + B + C is useful and powerful.It supports A2-OBD diagnosis and supports MOST, D-CAN and K-CAN protocols.
