Question Multiple Errors Codes

Hi,

Upon start up, I noticed multiple error codes (see picture).
However I've verified all everything physically, and all seem OK.
Tried unplugging the battery method, but unfortunately all it did was reset the clock.

Any ideas? - the car is a 2016 F30 328i -

(I don't even have the lane departure feature...)

Thanks!

The only way to find out what's going on is with an OBD diagnostic tool. For basic diagnosis and code clearing Bimmer-tool Lite freeware works surprisingly well.

I'll eventually look into doing some coding as well in the future.

What Bluetooth OBD2 dongle would you recommend?

Battery may be going bad IMO, but it's a 2016 so it may not be. I personally use Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ for the OBD 2

Bimmerlink to read codes + check battery life.

+1 for Veepeek. If they all appeared at the same time, i'd be suspect of something electrical. Clear the codes, then have your battery and alternator tested.

You maybe should check your voltage with the car's cluster display if you don't have a multimeter? Should be 12.5-ish when off and 14V when on.

I replaced my OE battery (same year as you) when I got it--was getting a low bat message though--you recall getting any warnings like that?

I'd get something to read and clear codes (as mentioned) or trips to guys with scanners is going to get expensive for you.

So to verify/clear the error codes, will I need bimmercode or bimmerlink?
Or is there another app, (ideally free) that will help me do this?

Overdue update: unfortunately none of the downloaded apps helped the situation.

The car was taken to the dealer, too bad warranty was up...so 24hrs stay, + $400 later...
ECU reset and software update installed.
