J have a 2008 bmw. We think it’s the timing belt we put the denemoyter n reads 20 diff rents codes can that be the tea one it reads do many And the car went to protive mode Mechanic's Assistant: How many miles are on the timing belt? Have you ever had to change it before? No I only had the car less than year Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model of your '08 BMW? 535! Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? I’m a female n don’t know we’re to start ? Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No that’s about it

Automotive Expert
Hello, Just checking in to see if you still needed assistance. If so, Can you please provide the code list you have? From experience whenever you get a ton of codes all at once. The control module has normally malfunctioned and will need to be replaced. This is even more true if the 20 codes are not even related to each other. So if you review you codes and find that none seem to be related to each other. It is a high possibility that the control module for the [engine](/topics-engine/) has malfunctioned. None the less if you can get the codes to me I can verify this for you. If you happen to have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thanks
