A driver drove me a BMW car, he said he just picked up his BMW 318i a 2010 plate with under 20,000 miles a few weeks ago, since then on 2 occassions when driving the car (and the car drives fine) when he have parked and just let the engine idle for a few mins the yellow check engine light has come on. He moved the car a short distance to see if it had lost power and it seemed fine (wasn't travelling at a great speed). He turned the engine on and off and the warning disappeared and car continues to drive ok.

Then he take our BMW ASAP, I connect the car with BMW ICOM ISID, it was showing my car may have a faulty camshaft sensor but after trying to run the diagnostic machine to the end of its cycle the program kept cutting out before it had fully diagnosed so it didn't go through its full cycle. I think I may have to get the software on my machine checked out, then I asked if he was able to leave the car overnight if he wanted the work completed by tomorrow because it was fine for him to take the car away and book it in at a later date, he said yes since he needed the car for work and over the next few days.

Then several days later at weekend, the driver drove his BMW to me, I install a new sensor to fix this common failure of the fault camshaft sensor, how to install the new sensor, I will make video later and share with you, thank you, wish its case be helpful.

BMW ICOM B MOST connector cannot work
