3. Step-by-Step DIY Repair Guide for BMW i4
Check exhaust manifold near Bank 1 Sensor 1 for cracks or blown gaskets sucking in fresh air. on the BMW i4 equipped with Single / Dual Motor EV (eDrive35, eDrive40, M50 536HP).
Check B1S1 AFR sensor output. On Toyota/Lexus, 3.3V is stoichiometric; a sensor stuck at 4.0V+ indicates lean bias. on the BMW i4 equipped with Single / Dual Motor EV (eDrive35, eDrive40, M50 536HP).
Briefly spray unlit propane into intake. If sensor voltage does not quickly drop rich, the sensor element is poisoned. on the BMW i4 equipped with Single / Dual Motor EV (eDrive35, eDrive40, M50 536HP).
Install a new genuine OEM Denso / Bosch upstream A/F sensor. on the BMW i4 equipped with Single / Dual Motor EV (eDrive35, eDrive40, M50 536HP).
Clear DTCs, reset ECU learned trims, and road test. on the BMW i4 equipped with Single / Dual Motor EV (eDrive35, eDrive40, M50 536HP).

4. BMW i4 P2195 FAQs
What causes code P2195 to trigger on a BMW i4?
On the BMW i4 (Single / Dual Motor EV (eDrive35, eDrive40, M50 536HP)), P2195 is most frequently caused by Contaminated or failing upstream Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) / O2 sensor or Exhaust manifold crack or gasket leak before the sensor.
Where is the OBD-II port located on my BMW i4?
On the BMW i4, the 16-pin DLC diagnostic connector is located Under driver steering column OBD interface. Plug in any standard OBD-II scanner with the ignition in the ON position to read freeze-frame parameters.
Can I safely drive my BMW i4 with code P2195?
Caution. ECU may over-enrich fuel mixture trying to compensate for a falsely reported lean signal. Given that P2195 carries a High severity rating, we advise avoiding heavy towing or aggressive throttle inputs until sensor readings are verified.
