Service Engine Soon light

[magnusbeck]

So this light just popped up on my 2011 M56x with about 95k miles. Dealer says it's $150 just to diagnose but that goes towards any repair. I'm a little wary of taking this kind of machine to a regular parts store for a diagnostic. Any advice?

The code that Autozone or Pepboys pulls will probably be the same code, so give it a shot. You should think about getting your own Bluetooth OBDII scanner. It plugs right into your OBDII port and interacts with your smartphone, android or iphone. Allows you to clear most codes. Most are relatively cheap and can be found on Amazon.

thanks...I will check with AutoZone before I shell out the dealer $$. I don't know how to use an OBDII scanner and I'm afraid I would do more harm than good.

...get the code and report back

This. If not by Autozone get yourself a low buck OBDII scanner. They start around $15 on Amazon. There is no way to damage the car with a basic OBDII scan tool. And it pays for itself the first time you use it.

This or get a bluetooth obd2 scanner and download the torque app on your phone

Code is P0106 Manifold Absolute Pressure/BARO sensor range/performance
It's actually listed twice if that matters. Any recommendations of how I should proceed?

A vacuum leak or intake leak, bad wiring for the sensor, or the MAP sensor itself is bad .
