C1445 BMW Fault Code
Check C1445 OBD Fault Code ReasonLow Speed Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction The PCM monitors the low speed fuel pump (LFP) primary circuit output from the PCM.
The test fails if: When the LFP circuit is commanded on (grounded), excessive current draw is detected on the BMW LFP circuit; or when the LFP circuit is commanded off, voltage is not detected on the LFP circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage coming through the low speed fuel pump relay coil to the LFP circuit). Open or shorted low fuel pump (LFP) circuit Open VPWR to low speed fuel pump relay Damaged low speed fuel pump relay Damaged PCM An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected with the low speed fuel pump.
C1445 Code Symptoms :
There are currently two main types of cylinder deactivation used today, depending on the type of engine.

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code C1445, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir.
Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code C1445 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
