U216F BMW Fault Code

Description:

BMW Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Intermittent The MAF sensor circuit is monitored by the PCM for sudden voltage (or air flow) input change through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM).

If during the last 40 warm-up cycles in key ON engine running the PCM detects a voltage (or air flow) change beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous memory diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.

U216F Code Symptoms :

If your U216F check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system U216F and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different , and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.

Diagnosis And Repairing U216F

U216F OBD 2 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.

How to fix U216F code ?

• Failures of clutch motion/travel sensors.
• Faulty Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) position solenoid
• Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
• Open or short in the CMP sensor circuits

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code U216F, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir.

Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code U216F on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
