The A3AD (41901) code on a BMW indicates a communication fault from the ECU related to missing engine data from the steering engine CAN-Message. Typically, this code is accompanied by various dashboard warning lights lighting up and erratic gauge behavior, commonly known as the "infamous dashboard Christmas tree." This issue is likely due to an electrical problem caused by either an overactive alternator, a blown fuse, or potential ECU malfunction. It is advisable to take your BMW to the dealership for a professional inspection and diagnosis.
