SUBJECT
N51 - EAC Sensor Fault 2AD8
MODEL
E90, E92, E93 (3 Series) with the N51 engine
[NEW] E82 and E88 (1 Series) with the N51 engine
SITUATION
2010 BMW 128i Convertible (E88) L6-3.0L (N51) Page 210
The "Service Engine Soon" lamp is on and the fault code: "2AD8 - EAC Sensor, monitoring - implausible in relation to engine coolant temperature,
radiator outlet" is stored in the DME.
CAUSE
DME diagnostic software error
Note:
When performing the EAC function check test module, the EAC sensor may show an implausible temperature status, e.g., 0锟斤拷C in relation to the
ambient temperature. Since this function test is performed on a cold engine (< 40锟斤拷C), both values should be similar.
CORRECTION
Reprogram the vehicle using the current ISTA/P version (2.40.0 or higher). The vehicle integration level after programming should be
E89x-10-12-501 or higher.
