ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ON BMW X3 E83 2007 - the three warning lights plus eratic speedo plus erratic radio volume. On any car if you get a check engine light or other fault light this typically means one or more of the sensors has failed or has a faulty connection. The fault can be something quite simple and nothing that’s going to stop the car to something quite major that will reduce engine power and possibly stop the engine. The ECU senses this and may put the car into 'limp home' mode which typically limits the revs and the amount of power available. Usually the car is safe to drive for a short distance as the mode is intended is intended to get you home without incurring any engine damage. The quickest route to repair is to have the car plugged into a diagnostic machine which will read off the fault code stored in the ECU (providing the light is still on at this point) and indicate which sensor has failed or whether the fault is more serious.

Troubleshoot Other Warning Light(s) On Car Control Panel Temp Warning Light On Your engine is overheating. Stop driving immediately and turn the engine off. Continuing to drive risks causing expensive engine damage such as a blown head gasket, or cracked or warped cylinder head. Low oil pressure or loss of oil pressure can be caused by a low oil level in the crankcase, a worn or damaged oil pump, or worn engine bearings. Allow the engine to cool down for several hours before you attempt any further diagnosis. A hot engine can be very dangerous because of steam pressure inside the radiator and coolant reservoir. Do NOT attempt to add coolant until the engine has cooled down and the radiator cap or reservoir cap can be safely opened. Overheating can be caused by a low coolant level (check the radiator, water pump, and hoses for leaks), coolant leaks inside the engine (leaky head gasket or cracks in the head or block), a stuck thermostat, or a cooling fan that isn't worki...

Symptoms: Check Engine Light on Poor Acceleration Poor Fuel Economy Rough Idle Probable Cause(s): Oxygen Sensors Codes (P0130 to P0167) EVAP Code (P0445) That pesky Check Engine Light, the “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” or “MIL” for short, is on because your vehicle’s computer self diagnosed a fault that could cause your vehicle’s emissions to increase. It doesn’t necessarily mean your vehicle is polluting – or has a serious problem – but it might. So the light is on to let you know something is amiss that needs your attention.

Ex: P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected. This code indicates that the vehicle's onboard computer has detected that not all of the engine's cylinders are firing properly. The last 2 digits of the code represent the detected cylinder. In this case 00 is a random cylinder misfire code. A P0301 would...
