BMW 2 Series Diagnostic Report

The vehicle presented with a BMW 2 series drivetrain fault message. The scan revealed codes such as 21F068, 21F1F6, 21F112 and 21F136, all pointing to the high-voltage battery pack, particularly cell supervision and undervoltage conditions. Further inspection and testing demonstrated a battery module fault in the HV pack and resultant drivetrain performance issues.

BMW 2 Series Repairs

Repair work focused on the high-voltage (HV) battery pack: a used cell module pack was fitted to restore proper cell voltage behaviour and battery balance. Once replaced, all fault codes were cleared and the system underwent thorough testing.

Resolution

After our intervention, the BMW 2 series drivetrain issue was resolved. The drivetrain error message disappeared, the “Don’t turn engine off” warning cleared, and the vehicle’s hybrid/electric performance was restored to normal. The car was returned to the customer in reliable working condition.
