CEL

Have about 2500 miles and about 300 miles ago got the yellow check engine sign. Has anyone else experienced this? Car is driving fine and not worried. Was hoping it would go away. Not a gas cap lose issue - have refilled and still there after many miles.

It's a 19 x5 4.0m sport.

The grill shutter not opening or closing can cause this. Had replaced on our X3. Seen on here several X5's have had them replaced.

Ours just tossed up a CEL 2 weeks ago. Sure enough it was the active shutters in the grill. New ones just arrived on Friday and they will be installed this week.

Thank you. Made appointment and have to wait a few weeks for opening. Any harm in driving considering this may be the issue? Engine still get enough cold air?
