Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in your 2023 BMW X1 signals an active, potentially damaging condition—often a severe misfire that can overheat the catalytic converter and cause expensive downstream repairs.

2023 BMW X1 Check Engine Light Codes

The most common check engine light codes for a 2023 BMW X1 include misfire codes (P0300-series), fuel trim/air-fuel mixture codes (P0171/P0174), oxygen sensor/catalyst efficiency codes (P0420), and EVAP system faults (P0440/P0455).
