Replaced brake vacuum sensor, still fault code
Hi
Owning a 318i 2011 E90 Got the fault code 002FD3 (brake vacuum sensor, signal) First time I replaced the sensor with an used one so could I hear the air coming out. I still had the code and signal showed on my panel after I replaced it. Yesterday I bought a brand new from BMW store (not cheap) and replaced it. This time no air was coming out and that had me wondering. Still got the fault code and symbol on panel. No changes on brakes what I've noticed so far. What could be wrong ? |

Haven't done this job (but planning for it as some buzz after brake fluid change). Changed sensor only or complete kit with hoses? Maybe not snug enough at some connection?

Normally, the code indicating a bad sensor is 27E4 : Vacuum Sensor Brake Booster Plausibility. The code you list doesn't appear to be that common, and not a lot of info on it. As far as the vacuum sensor issue, it could also be the vacuum pump itself, a leak in a line, a bad check valve, or even the brake booster itself. The most common is definitely the sensor.

Apparently the pump goes now and then. I'd search around to see if its possible to diagnos/draw conclusions on that. From what understand fairly easy to replace although one wheel and fender liner must comd off. |

https://ibb.co/f4j3TWH I perceive it as something wrong when it says 0 V. And that's after the first change of the senor. I believe you are right. It isn't the sensor it's something else. According to this list for my BMW, everything that has (auto start/stop function) could be the cause of code faulty: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=PF51-EUR-11-2010-E90N-BMW-318i&diagId=34_1775 This seems to be more difficult than i presumed :-/ |

Do you have any warnings or problems with the start/stop System or dsc? First thing is to check for codes with something better than Carly.
