Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Faulty ignition coil or coil-on-plug for cylinder 5
  • Worn or fouled spark plug in cylinder 5
  • Faulty fuel injector (stuck open/closed or electrical fault) for cylinder 5
  • Open/shorted wiring or poor connector at coil or injector (pin corrosion, broken wire)
  • Low compression or mechanical damage in cylinder 5 (valve, piston, head gasket)
  • Fuel supply problem or low rail pressure under load

Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated
  • Rough idle or visible engine shake, especially at idle
  • Reduced power and poor acceleration
  • Misfire detected only on cylinder 5 (higher misfire count)
  • Possible fuel cut sensation or intermittent loss of running on one cylinder
  • Increased fuel consumption and possible catalytic converter fault if driven long-term

What to check

  • Read stored and pending DTCs and freeze-frame data with a capable BMW scan tool
  • Monitor live data: misfire counters (per-cylinder), injector duty, coil firing, RPM and fuel trims
  • Check for related codes (cam/crank, fuel rail, lambda sensors)
  • Visual inspection of coil, spark plug and injector for cylinder 5 (carbon tracking, oil, fouling)
  • Inspect wiring and connectors for the coil and injector of cylinder 5 for damage, corrosion or loose pins
  • Swap coil (and/or injector) from cylinder 5 with another cylinder and re-check to see if misfire follows the component

Signal parameters

  • Cylinder-specific misfire count (cylinder 5)
  • Injector pulse width (ms) for cylinder 5
  • Ignition coil primary/secondary voltage or secondary waveform
  • Short-term and long-term fuel trim (%)
  • Fuel rail pressure (bar or psi)
  • Engine RPM (rpm) and fluctuation during idle

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Retrieve full DTC list and freeze-frame data; note conditions when fault occurred (load, RPM, temp).
  2. Clear codes and perform warm-up then monitor live per-cylinder misfire counts and related parameters.
  3. Inspect cylinder 5 spark plug and coil: remove coil, examine plug condition, measure coil/resistance if applicable; replace plug if fouled/worn.
  4. Swap the ignition coil from cylinder 5 with a known-good coil on another cylinder; rerun and check if misfire moves to new cylinder (if it moves, replace coil).
  5. If coil swap is negative, swap injectors between cylinder 5 and another cylinder and re-check misfire (if misfire moves, replace injector).
  6. If swaps don’t move fault, check wiring and connectors for continuity, shorts to ground or open circuits for both coil and injector circuits; repair as needed.
  7. Perform a compression test or leak-down on cylinder 5 and compare to other cylinders; if low, investigate valves, head gasket, piston/rings.
  8. Verify fuel rail pressure and supply under load; inspect for clogged rail/return or pressure regulator faults.
  9. Check cam/crank sensor signals and timing; correct timing or camshaft actuator faults if present.
  10. After repair, clear codes and road test under the conditions that originally triggered the code; confirm cure and ensure no new related faults.
  11. If diagnostics are inconclusive and all components test good, consider ECM/software update or replacement and consult BMW technical service information.

Likely causes

  • Ignition coil or spark plug failure on cylinder 5
  • Injector electrical fault or clogged/stuck injector on cylinder 5
  • Wiring harness/connector problem to coil or injector on cylinder 5
  • Low compression or valve problem in cylinder 5

Fault status

⚠️ Status
Misfire detected on cylinder 5. Engine control has disabled fuel to cylinder 5 (fuel cut-off) to protect emissions system. Investigation of ignition, fuel, mechanical and wiring for cylinder 5 is required.

Page language: EN

Causes

  • Faulty ignition coil or coil-on-plug for cylinder 5
  • Worn or fouled spark plug in cylinder 5
  • Faulty fuel injector (stuck open/closed or electrical fault) for cylinder 5
  • Open/shorted wiring or poor connector at coil or injector (pin corrosion, broken wire)
  • Low compression or mechanical damage in cylinder 5 (valve, piston, head gasket)
  • Fuel supply problem or low rail pressure under load

Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated
  • Rough idle or visible engine shake, especially at idle
  • Reduced power and poor acceleration
  • Misfire detected only on cylinder 5 (higher misfire count)
  • Possible fuel cut sensation or intermittent loss of running on one cylinder
  • Increased fuel consumption and possible catalytic converter fault if driven long-term

What to check

  • Read stored and pending DTCs and freeze-frame data with a capable BMW scan tool
  • Monitor live data: misfire counters (per-cylinder), injector duty, coil firing, RPM and fuel trims
  • Check for related codes (cam/crank, fuel rail, lambda sensors)
  • Visual inspection of coil, spark plug and injector for cylinder 5 (carbon tracking, oil, fouling)
  • Inspect wiring and connectors for the coil and injector of cylinder 5 for damage, corrosion or loose pins
  • Swap coil (and/or injector) from cylinder 5 with another cylinder and re-check to see if misfire follows the component

Signal parameters

  • Cylinder-specific misfire count (cylinder 5)
  • Injector pulse width (ms) for cylinder 5
  • Ignition coil primary/secondary voltage or secondary waveform
  • Short-term and long-term fuel trim (%)
  • Fuel rail pressure (bar or psi)
  • Engine RPM (rpm) and fluctuation during idle

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Retrieve full DTC list and freeze-frame data; note conditions when fault occurred (load, RPM, temp).
  2. Clear codes and perform warm-up then monitor live per-cylinder misfire counts and related parameters.
  3. Inspect cylinder 5 spark plug and coil: remove coil, examine plug condition, measure coil/resistance if applicable; replace plug if fouled/worn.
  4. Swap the ignition coil from cylinder 5 with a known-good coil on another cylinder; rerun and check if misfire moves to new cylinder (if it moves, replace coil).
  5. If coil swap is negative, swap injectors between cylinder 5 and another cylinder and re-check misfire (if misfire moves, replace injector).
  6. If swaps don’t move fault, check wiring and connectors for continuity, shorts to ground or open circuits for both coil and injector circuits; repair as needed.
  7. Perform a compression test or leak-down on cylinder 5 and compare to other cylinders; if low, investigate valves, head gasket, piston/rings.
  8. Verify fuel rail pressure and supply under load; inspect for clogged rail/return or pressure regulator faults.

  3. Inspect cylinder 5 spark plug and coil: remove coil, examine plug condition, measure coil/resistance if applicable; replace plug if fouled/worn.
  4. Swap the ignition coil from cylinder 5 with a known-good coil on another cylinder; rerun and check if misfire moves to new cylinder (if it moves, replace coil).
  5. If coil swap is negative, swap injectors between cylinder 5 and another cylinder and re-check misfire (if misfire moves, replace injector).
  6. If swaps don’t move fault, check wiring and connectors for continuity, shorts to ground or open circuits for both coil and injector circuits; repair as needed.
  7. Perform a compression test or leak-down on cylinder 5 and compare to other cylinders; if low, investigate valves, head gasket, piston/rings.
  8. Verify fuel rail pressure and supply under load; inspect for clogged rail/return or pressure regulator faults.
  9. Check cam/crank sensor signals and timing; correct timing or camshaft actuator faults if present.
  10. After repair, clear codes and road test under the conditions that originally triggered the code; confirm cure and ensure no new related faults.
  11. If diagnostics are inconclusive and all components test good, consider ECM/software update or replacement and consult BMW technical service information.

IDM Input Circuit Malfunction/ Ignition Coil Control Circuit High Voltage

Brand: Other
Views: UK: 30 EN: 46 RU: 57
AI status
Completed
ready
Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Faulty ignition coil or coil-on-plug for cylinder 5
  • Worn or fouled spark plug in cylinder 5
  • Faulty fuel injector (stuck open/closed or electrical fault) for cylinder 5
  • Open/shorted wiring or poor connector at coil or injector (pin corrosion, broken wire)
  • Low compression or mechanical damage in cylinder 5 (valve, piston, head gasket)
  • Fuel supply problem or low rail pressure under load

Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated
  • Rough idle or visible engine shake, especially at idle
  • Reduced power and poor acceleration
  • Misfire detected only on cylinder 5 (higher misfire count)
  • Possible fuel cut sensation or intermittent loss of running on one cylinder
  • Increased fuel consumption and possible catalytic converter fault if driven long-term

What to check

  • Read stored and pending DTCs and freeze-frame data with a capable BMW scan tool
  • Monitor live data: misfire counters (per-cylinder), injector duty, coil firing, RPM and fuel trims
  • Check for related codes (cam/crank, fuel rail, lambda sensors)
  • Visual inspection of coil, spark plug and injector for cylinder 5 (carbon tracking, oil, fouling)
  • Inspect wiring and connectors for the coil and injector of cylinder 5 for damage, corrosion or loose pins
  • Swap coil (and/or injector) from cylinder 5 with another cylinder and re-check to see if misfire follows the component

Signal parameters

  • Cylinder-specific misfire count (cylinder 5)
  • Injector pulse width (ms) for cylinder 5
  • Ignition coil primary/secondary voltage or secondary waveform
  • Short-term and long-term fuel trim (%)
  • Fuel rail pressure (bar or psi)
  • Engine RPM (rpm) and fluctuation during idle

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Retrieve full DTC list and freeze-frame data; note conditions when fault occurred (load, RPM, temp).
  2. Clear codes and perform warm-up then monitor live per-cylinder misfire counts and related parameters.
  3. Inspect cylinder 5 spark plug and coil: remove coil, examine plug condition, measure coil/resistance if applicable; replace plug if fouled/worn.
  4. Swap the ignition coil from cylinder 5 with a known-good coil on another cylinder; rerun and check if misfire moves to new cylinder (if it moves, replace coil).
  5. If coil swap is negative, swap injectors between cylinder 5 and another cylinder and re-check misfire (if misfire moves, replace injector).
  6. If swaps don’t move fault, check wiring and connectors for continuity, shorts to ground or open circuits for both coil and injector circuits; repair as needed.
  7. Perform a compression test or leak-down on cylinder 5 and compare to other cylinders; if low, investigate valves, head gasket, piston/rings.
  8. Verify fuel rail pressure and supply under load; inspect for clogged rail/return or pressure regulator faults.
  9. Check cam/crank sensor signals and timing; correct timing or camshaft actuator faults if present.
