BMW iX1 Error Messages: System Readiness Check Problems

Hey there! I have some experience with EVs and had a similar issue with my 2020 BMW iX3 (also got an iX4 in the family). Had the exact same symptoms, error messages popping up in the cluster. Got worried at first, but it turned out to be pretty straightforward. My workshop just did a fresh OBD2 diagnostic scan and cleared the error codes, which fixed it completely. Didn't cost me anything since I was still under warranty. Before I share more specific details about my experience, could you tell me which exact error messages you're seeing and if your iX1 has had any recent software updates? This would help me understand if we're dealing with the same issue.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Just had my service done last week at 8785 KM and I'm still getting these issues. The error message appears as "System Check Incomplete" with a yellow warning light. It's a bit concerning since this is my first EV and everything else seems to work fine. The car drives normally, but that warning is pretty annoying. Haven't had any recent software updates, so maybe that could be part of the problem? Really appreciate your help in narrowing this down.

Hey again! Yeah, I totally get your concern. I had that exact same yellow warning light with my iX3 right after a service too, super annoying! Actually, what I learned from my experience is that sometimes these warnings pop up when the car's computer hasn't completed its full diagnostic cycle after being serviced. In my case, it took about 3-4 regular drives (like 15-20 minutes each) for the system to complete all its checks and for that warning to finally clear itself. Since you mentioned you just had service done, I'm pretty confident it's the same thing. The EVs need to go through quite a few driving cycles to reset all their monitoring systems after any service work. My mechanic didn't explain this to me initially, which is why I got so worried. If it doesn't clear up after a few more drives though, I'd suggest getting it checked out. But honestly, since your car is driving fine just like mine was, I wouldn't stress too much about it. These modern EVs are pretty sensitive with their warning systems. Let me know if it clears up after a few more drives, would be interesting to know if you're experiencing the exact same thing I did!

Thanks so much, that's really helpful and actually makes me feel a lot better! I've only done short trips since the service, mostly just commuting, so that could explain why the system hasn't completed its checks yet. I'll try taking it for a few longer drives over the next couple of days and see if that sorts it out. It's really reassuring to hear you had the same experience and it resolved itself. The BMW dealer didn't mention anything about this either, which is why I got worried. I'll keep an eye on it and definitely update you if it clears up after those longer drives. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, it's exactly the kind of real-world feedback I was looking for!
