Limp Mode W/ Odd Codes??

It might be my scan tool but I haven't had issues before.

I am not getting the CEL but I do get the limp mode light on the tach. When I pull the codes all it says is "00, 01, 2C, 57 No found!"

I can clear the code and the car is fine for a while but the same thing happens eventually; sometime multiple trips or sometimes only a few miles.

This is a 2011 R56 - zero upgrades and all stock.

I am not really sure where to look and would love any suggestions.

take it to your local auto store, maybe a different scan tool will give better info.

No luck with the parts store code readers.

Can anyone suggest a code reader that will read the faults I have - they’re not CEL codes and I’m not sure what to call them.

Thanks!

To access the BMW specific codes, (codes stored after a "half power" light on the tach) you'll need something like Carly or Bimmercode to retrieve them.

Thank you...

I’ll do some research and order one of them.

Any suggestions which would be better?

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bimm...065360416?mt=8 should research to make sure it supports your car.

Never used it but I do use the Bimmercode app on my car. Works great and customer support is awesome.

Carly app pre-sales support was awful and slow for me so I never tried them.

There is also this https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben...020sch01a~scf/

Some helpful Indy shops will read codes for free, most probably won't.

2C57 is low boost. Check vacuum lines and diverter.
