Check Engine Light, No Error Code

Hello everybody,

I am new to this forum, And hope if any one could help me.

Today, my 13 M5 (50k miles) got a solid CEL light right after I drove 3 easy miles local and 1 easy mile highway at 65 MPH. I checked the hidden DTC menu, but there was no error code, and the CEL was still on. the car drives very normal and seems nothing to be wrong.

I am wondering to know what could be the reason I got a CEL light? Is it a gas cap? Or is this could be any thing wrong with the coolant or power steering? (I just have dealer serviced my coolant and power steering)

Any mods? Check your air intake if you have an aftermarket one. Mine fell off the bracket somehow which caused a CEL.

Thank you for you reply! the car is bone stock. I checked the air filter and it looks properly fitted. I remember last time I got the CEL was because the MAF sensor, and there was an error code pop up in the hidden DTC menu. This time I also checked the hidden menu, but there was no error code.

I assume the hidden menu could show up more error code than the scanner since it is the one of the car's feature from factory. I don't know why the CEL on but no error code. I will try to drive another 50 miles, and see the if CEL disappear, or I will need to take the car to dealer again.

But again, thank you for you replay!
