JB4 Drivetrain malfunction

GodZhu · 02-20-2017, 01:10 PM

Hey everyone, recently installed my JB4 tune onto my 2012 F30 328i, ran good for about 2 days but I found the following issue this morning.

I got a drivetrain malfunction, and my JB4 wasn't able to read the codes, nor was it able to log any of my driving statistics.

The following code I got after going to a shop to get it scanned:

Default 281A Absolute pressure sensor, intake pipe, electrical: short circuit to B+

Anyone else have this issue? I've then taken all the connections off and put it back to stock, and no more issues.

Hope someone can help me out

As with any BMS thread, first question to be asked is did you contact BMS technical support?

I've emailed them and I'm waiting for a response, but I found that here might be also worth a shot while I wait

BMS is usually pretty quick in responding. Did you get your issue resolved?

what was the issue?

I posted on the N54 forum, where I said that I think I might need new spark plugs etc, but then a person said that I should take off my Injen air intake..

give BMS an email and a call with you issue, when was last time you did your spark plugs?

You don't need to take it off you just need to unplug the MAF sensor.

I've fixed this since I accidentally put this on a 12V instead of a 5V for the Bluetooth connector kitz
