DME: Protection against tampering Code 00375c

Hi my 2011 mini S has a code I can’t clear. The code is 00375c anti tampering. I believe this may be from a tune someone did before I purchased the car. Car runs fine with the code but it caused the check engine light to come on.
Anyone have any advice on sorting this out ?

@Wrightbenz ,

If that code can't be cleared, you'll need to have your DME either have it relearned or be reprogrammed by a dealership since the driver modified for whatever he did outside the parameter as per manufacturer rules.

Here is your service plan for that code:
- Replace the DME if the fault is permanently present or the fault occurrence count is higher than 3.

Sounds like a replacement DME is possibly in your future.

Maybe. Car works fine though just have the check light. I’m sure it can be reflashed if someone knows what they are doing.
changing just the DME isn’t really an option is it ? Don’t they have to be paired with the ews module ?

Maybe try talking to @Lou@Prototype-R . He does flash tuning, so maybe he could help out, or at the least tell you what you'll need to do. The only other alternative would be heading to the dealer, but I feel they would lean on the replacement path.
