Strange CEL code

I was driving a long distance today and I got a CEL, when I checked the code to see what it was, the code given was P147E. I cleared the code, but it came back the next time I started the car up. It is running fine and doesn't seem to be having any issues. I tried searching around for this code definition and couldn't find anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

the car is a '13 328i (F30)

thanks,

But there is no further description.

There is a recall out for the in-tank fuel pump, and a google search indicated that code is related to that very component. Check with your dealership - having them do the recall work won't cost you anything. Although I didn't have any codes, I had this done to my '13 335i recently at no charge.

Hi, I just ran into this issue after switching upper and lower fuel pumps. Seems like as soon as I fix one thing, literally right after something else gos. What wire exactly am I looking at?
