    2002 540i pre cat sensors we're way up under the engine, not close to where shown in this video. FYI for others. Most will need a lift.

    Quick question: My 97 540i is not throwing any O2 codes, my CEL light is not on, and she's running great. I went to get California's wonderful SMOG and passed every thing except NO (PPM) at 15MPH. My question is could the pre-cat sensors be bad even though no codes thrown, causing this condition?

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  Před 6 lety

      NO PPM? I have no idea what that means. Sensors can be bad without throwing codes... but I would Google around to see what causes that.

    Hi guys, you guys mentioned to reset the ECU, how would I do that on my e39 540i (she's a '97) after I replaced all 4 of her o2's sensor.

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  Před 6 lety

      You'll need a scanner or something to reset the codes.

      If u don't have the tool, disconnect the battery overnight

    how many cats this car has and where they are located? does it has 4 cats two connected to the manifold and two underneath the car?

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  Před 4 lety +1

      There are two cats, one on each cylinder bank, located AFTER the headers and behind the transmission.

    Any plans for getting a car lift? Suppose your garage might be on smaller scale of things, but it really makes jobs like these a breeze.

      Not when I am about to move. Later in life I would love to though!

    I just replaced the spark plugs and the ignition coils on my e39 and I got check engine and cat red flashing code and misfire on cylinder 8 with fuel cutoff😭😭 someone help please

      Clear the codes and see what returns.

    Is p0420 normally for post or pre cat? I have an 01 m5

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  Před rokem

      According to a brief Google search, P0420 means "Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (Bank 1)". I would start by replacing the oxygen sensors on this bank. If the code returns, you likely need a new cat.

  • @Enthusiast_Plus

    Does this cover P0131 and P0151?

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  Před 6 lety

      Those look like generic oxygen sensor codes. I usually recommend replacing the O2 sensors at this point.

    Hi I have a question. My Son gave me a 2001 BMW 540i. I had went to Walmart and when I got back in the car it didn't want to turn on. I tried and tried. But I had to get it towed. Two days later I went to go and start it up it crank up but I smell gas and the check engine light came on. It seems like when it gets hot it shuts down. I went out today to start it and now the check engine light is off.

    Spud wrench gets them out pretty easy.

    • @slimdugger99

      It seems like the correct sized open end wrench would work, no need to spend money on a single use tool.

    Nice narrative, but you really should wear some eye protection.

    • @E39Source

      Bank 1 is the passenger's side cylinder bank (left when facing engine from front of car).
