[solved] Car Won't accelerate

oVeRdOsE. · 03-22-2022, 08:21 AM

Hi folks,

x3 , N55, 13' , 130 000km.

This morning, the car was either NOT moving, or accelerating slooowwwwly, feels like I had 5hp.

- if I start the car I can rev the engine ; no codes in cic. PEDAL give signal to engine !
- the moment I put the transmission in Drive I have the following 3 code in the cic :

1- TPMS out ( I dont have tpms, abs based tire monitoring)
2- Stability control message
3- Drivetrain issue - power limited

- then the pedal does NOTHING on the engine.
- engine idle fine

Searched on e90post, few people were asking for the problem cause, BUT NO resolved thread .

So I'm asking [Q] : what would be my best bet on that?

thanks

|P11EE BMW code possible causes

Faulty Accelerator Pedal
Accelerator Pedal harness is open or shorted
Accelerator Pedal circuit poor electrical connection
Faulty Accelerator Pedal Module

P2138 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch D/E Voltage Correlation

scan it, erratic pedal signal, learned bmw has few revision of this pedal, bought a new one 150$, slap it, drive it.

I don't see any damage by water on my OEM pedal, but , at the end it was faulty.

According to a BMW tech, this is common in a salty nordic country.
