BMW fault code 0051

Electronic engine power control

Electronic engine power control: Bus fault upon receiving a message from Digital Motor Electronics, EGS or ASC

Module version: Electronic engine power control (EML3)

In: 7 Series (E38) 1994–2001

Reading and clearing it

Fault code 0051 is a BMW code, stored in the car's electronic engine power control, not a generic OBD2 code (P0xxx): a generic OBD2 reader only reaches the engine's emissions faults, so it won't show it. AutoLingo for BMW reads it with BMW's own diagnostic protocols, in plain English, with the details the module stored about it, and clears it after a repair. If a fault comes right back after it's cleared, the problem is still there.

The electronic engine power control is on: 8 Series (E31), 7 Series (E32), 7 Series (E38)
