BMW 1 Series 140010 Misfire Fault
BMW 1 series models manufactured between the years 2015 to 2019 will frequently experience the failure of their engine management ECU. This common failure will cause the engine to misfire over one or more cylinders, which will gradually become worse over a period of time. However, if the vehicle is able to start, it will be forced into “limp home mode”, and the engine will suffer from rough running – these symptoms will persist until the fault is rectified.
Diagnosing the BMW 1 Series Misfire and 140010 Code
One or more of the following BMW fault codes will be discovered when diagnostic scans are conducted on the 1 Series, typically indicating misfires on multiple cylinders:
140010 – Misfire Multiple Cylinders Detected
140310 – Misfire Cylinder 3 Detected
140410 – Misfire Cylinder 4 Detected
150302 – Ignition Cylinder 4 Combustion Time Too Short
Additional fault codes can also be encountered, such as:
140001 – Misfire Several Cylinders Fuel Injection is Switched Off
140201 – Misfire Cylinder 2 Fuel Injection is Switched Off
140301 – Misfire Cylinder 3 Fuel Injection is Switched Off
140210 – Combustion Misfire Cylinder 2 Detected.
