B258C BMW Fault Code
Check B258C OBD Fault Code ReasonLow Speed Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction The PCM monitors the low speed fuel pump (LFP) primary circuit output from the PCM.
The test fails if: When the LFP circuit is commanded on (grounded), excessive current draw is detected on the BMW LFP circuit; or when the LFP circuit is commanded off, voltage is not detected on the LFP circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage coming through the low speed fuel pump relay coil to the LFP circuit). Open or shorted low fuel pump (LFP) circuit Open VPWR to low speed fuel pump relay Damaged low speed fuel pump relay Damaged PCM An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected with the low speed fuel pump.

Diagnosis And Repairing B258C
B258C 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 B258C code ?
- Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted
- Clogged or faulty fuel injector (s)
- Erratic camshaft position due to low oil pressure
- Oil Control Valve (OCV) circuit is open or shorted
Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code B258C, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir.
Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code B258C on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
