The term CC-ID on a BMW vehicle refers to the check control identification code, which monitors the various functions of the car, and when a malfunction occurs, it displays an error message. Error messages can be cleared, once resolved, using the lever on the left side of the steering wheel, scrolling through the menu until reaching the "check" option, where we can see all the error messages that are stored, which can be viewed by holding down the "BC" button at the end of the lever; we will scroll through them by releasing the button gradually.

Some of the most common ones are: 164 low windshield washer fluid level, 115 right reverse light bulb; 117 left reverse light bulb; e71 brake pad error. All codes are listed in the owner's manual.
