Check engine light

[Pahaska]

I had the fuel filler flap on my Rex pop open today while driving. It was quite a distance before I was able to stop and close it. I have no idea why it popped open. By the time I was able to stop, the check engine light came on.

I have never used the range extender except for a test a month or so ago, so it had to be caused by the open flap.

I only drove a short distance after getting out and closing the flap, so I don't know whether it might have self-reset had I driven further. I'll see whether I can reset it through the service port. Otherwise, I'll stop by the dealer and have it reset. I hate that thing being on even tho it is meaningless.

I am loving my 2020 i3, but since BMW bought my 2019 i3 back due to continued Rex problems and a near ever present Check Engine Light....it makes me nervous almost every time I start my new i3 and the first time I let Rex come on....I was sweating bullets, LOL. It is just an awful feeling seeing a CEL in an EV.

Let us know if it goes out. I'm keeping happy & positive thoughts for you!!!
