CEL & wifi/Bluetooth obdii dongles

infiniteend · 02-11-2017, 01:33 PM

Hey guys,

So I have a 2016 550i and I recently forgot to cap my oil cap after I topped it off (I also have an oil burning issue - first warning comes on around every 2500 miles and I top off a quart or two). Then I drove 180~ miles before I realized it was off and then I threw a code. It was a P0171 code in bank 1 and I assumed it was because that I forgot my cap. So now I'm trying to clear the code with a dongle Tool and it won't let me. I'm using a wifi tool and DashCommand on my iPhone.

Any ideas? Kinda don't wanna unhook the battery.

Thanks!

Is the engine off - ignition on?

hit the on/off button with your foot OFF OF the brake, so it can go into accessory mode.

basically have the car running short of the engine running.
