Check Engine light after Coding Session!?!!? - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

Can a coding session (KOMBI, FEMBODY) cause the check engine light to come on a F30? Has anybody ever seen that?

Also can E-Sys be used to read and interpret whatever is causing the code or do you need additional hardware/software?

Didnt get any errors when I coded these. Not sure about checking for codes thru E-sys.

did you start your car and drive it around?
i get some codes like light malfunction or xdrive malfunction sometimes when im done coding. i just start the car drive it for a bit and then it goes away

e-sys does not check for fault codes

I did, light still on after a day of driving. I'll leave it for a couple days and see if it clears itself.
