C3531 BMW Fault Code

Description:

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor in Range But Low The comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the FRP pressure for acceptable fuel pressure. The test fails when the fuel pressure falls below a calibrated value.

Low fuel pressure Damaged BMW FRP sensor Excessive resistance in circuit Low or no fuel A FRP PID value below 551 kpa (80 psi) indicates a failure Low or no fuel A FRP PID value greater than 896 kpa (130 psi) indicates a failure.

C3531 Code Symptoms :

There are currently two main types of cylinder deactivation used today, depending on the type of engine. C3531 code for the pushrod design which uses solenoids to alter the oil pressure delivered to the lifters.

Diagnosis And Repairing C3531

C3531 OBD 2 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.

How to fix C3531 code ?

• 1Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
• Faulty Camshaft Position Sensor
• Faulty Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve
• Variable Camshaft Timing solenoid stuck open

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code C3531, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir.

Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code C3531 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
