Exclamation Engine ventilation heating, activation: line disconnecting

Hi guys,I have a 12 Mini Countryman S All 4 and I recently installed a forge air intake pipe, and there is 2 lines hanging there that it were plug to the OEM intake pipe. So now the engine light is on and the code is "Engine ventilation heating, activation: line disconnecting" is there any solution for it?

Did you figure out how to fix this?

I just changed my thermostat housing on my 2012 S Clubman, and when I put it all back together my check engine light came on and I have this same code. I still have everything hooked up to original equipment, so I don’t know if the sensor is bad or what.

I saw a setup like this were the installer used resistors to "complete" the circuit. you could also remove them from the oem pipe and connect them to plugs.

When I installed my NM Engineering intake/inlet, those little gadgets were deleted. The kit included 2 small resistors that plug into the wires and fake connection. No check engine lights. Id look in the direction of gettings those resistors.

I did ensure that this connection was good several times, because when I first reconnected it I discovered it wasn’t pushed in all the way. The car was on but the engine wasn’t running when I fully seated the connection the first time, so I wonder if I could have blown a fuse. I haven’t checked the fuses yet.
If I can’t get the original system to work where can I look for those resistors, and do you have a part number?
