crankshaft position sensor error please help

[zalikoo1]

I really ask for help. I have a 2012 BMW M5, when turning the steering wheel to the left during a sharp acceleration, when the rear of the car blows to the right, (DRIFT) error 160020 crankshaft position sensor comes out, if you accelerate straight, or drift to the right there are no problems. checked all the grounds, replaced the crankshaft sensor, replaced the wires to the sensor from the engine control unit, replaced the engine control units, replaced all the ignition coils, replaced the flywheel, checked the fuel pump, turned off the ICM control unit, a lot of work was done, I don’t remember everything. BMW M5 F10 2012

Have you done a throttle relearn reset??

[zalikoo1]

if the stabilization is not turned off, the problem is not observed, if the rear axle of the car is put into the right skid, only then the error appears, the diagnostics shows the crankshaft position sensor, “the signal is not reliable” an oscilloscope was connected, interference appears on the signal wire of the crankshaft sensor

[Black Panda]

The code is set when your car's primary computer—also known as the powertrain control module (PCM)—is unable to detect a signal from the crankshaft position sensor. Tcm sends signal to pcm. You could have a faulty tcm. Also it's a 2012. Is it tuned?? Have you tried disconnecting the pos and negative terminals on your battery and wrap them together and let it sit for an hour and then reconnect the battery

You'd be surprised how tedious these cars are. Also check to make sure the vanos is good. Clean your Maf sensors on the intake pipes. Try anything I've asked.. lmk

[zalikoo1]

I didn’t quite understand what you mean, the transmission also falls into emergency mode, it also has a secondary error from the crankshaft position sensor

[zalikoo1]

I changed all 5 volt sensors

Well my friend.. don't drive yourself nuts. I'd try a few more things and then take it to a reputable bmw mechanic if it still persists.. not worth driving yourself nuts

[zalikoo1]

this has been a problem for several years now

[Black Panda]

I wish I was a mechanic and could be more helpful..IF ITS been that long of a time I'd take it to BMW

[Black Panda]

Do a throttle relearn procedure...

[Black Panda]

Put car in ignition mode
Don't touch brake
Floor the accelerator and hold it for 5 seconds
Keep your foot on accelerator and shut car off
Wait 10 seconds and take foot off throttle
Don't touch anything and wait 2 minutes and start the car.then go drive it aggressively and see how it runs

I did a throttle adaptive reset and cleaned the maf sensors and made sure there was no leak anywhere on the intake and I haven't had a problem since. It's only been 200 miles but still no code. I know it's a different code then yours but sometimes with these bmws 1 little thing can cause shit to happen.. sometimes it's a simple stupid fix.
Lmk how it works
