BMW fault code 2CF1

Engine electronics

In the engine electronics, code 2CF1 means different things depending on the version of the module in the car. Find your car below; the app shows the right one for yours.

DME: Throttle-valve actuator, position monitoring

Module versions: Engine electronics (ME9N62_2), Engine electronics (N62_TUE), Engine electronics (N62_TUE2), Engine electronics, cylinder bank 1 (N73TU_R0)

Which BMWs have these versions depends on the engine and equipment, so we don't list them here; AutoLingo for BMW reads which version your car has.

DME: Throttle actuator (CDKDVEL DK position monitoring)

Module versions: Engine electronics (ME9N45), Engine electronics (MEV9N46), Engine electronics (MEV9N46L)

Which BMWs have these versions depends on the engine and equipment, so we don't list them here; AutoLingo for BMW reads which version your car has.

Oxygen sensor after catalytic converter, from lean to rich: Delayed response

Module versions: Engine electronics (MEVD174K), Engine electronics (MVD1722)

Which BMWs have these versions depends on the engine and equipment, so we don't list them here; AutoLingo for BMW reads which version your car has.

Oxygen sensor after catalytic converter, in coasting/overrun mode, from lean to rich: Delayed response

Module version: Engine electronics (MEVD176K)

Which BMWs have this version depends on the engine and equipment, so we don't list them here; AutoLingo for BMW reads which version your car has.

Oxygen sensor after catalytic converter, from lean to rich

Module version: Engine electronics (MV1722)

Which BMWs have this version depends on the engine and equipment, so we don't list them here; AutoLingo for BMW reads which version your car has.

Reading and clearing it

Fault code 2CF1 is a BMW code, stored in the car's engine electronics, 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 engine electronics is on: 3 Series (E46), Z8 (E52), X5 (E53), 5 Series (E60), 5 Series (E61), 6 Series (E63), 6 Series (E64), 7 Series (E65), 7 Series (E66), 7 Series (E67), X5 (E70), X6 (E71), X6 (E72), 1 Series (E81), 1 Series (E82), X3 (E83), X1 (E84), Z4 (E85), Z4 (E86), 1 Series (E87), 1 Series (E88), Z4 (E89), 3 Series (E90), 3 Series (E91), 3 Series (E92), 3 Series (E93)
