P3136 BMW Fault Code

Check P3136 OBD Fault Code Reason
Description:

EGR Flow Insufficient Detected The EGR system is monitored during steady state driving conditions while the EGR is commanded on.
The test fails when the signal from the DPF EGR sensor indicates that EGR flow is less than the desired minimum. Vacuum supply EGR valve stuck closed EGR valve leaks vacuum EGR flow path restricted EGRVR circuit shorted to PWR VREF open to D.P.F. EGR sensor D.P.F. EGR sensor downstream hose off or plugged EGRVR circuit open to PCM VPWR open to EGRVR solenoid D.P.F. EGR sensor hoses both off D.P.F. EGR sensor hoses reversed Damaged EGR orifice tube Damaged EGRVR solenoid Damaged PCM Perform KOER self-test and look for DTC P3136 as an indication of a hard fault.

  • Dirty Oil
  • EVAP system hose leaking
  • Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
  • 1Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code P3136, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir.

Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code P3136 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
