HOW to deal with BMW DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION WARNING

[@tawill888]

Ignition coils, spark plugs, and pcv valve breathers may need to be checked, as well as a tune up too. Thats what i was educated on with my BMW and I confirmed with a OBD Scan too. Once i addressed and replaced them, it went away and hasnt shown up again. 💯

[@PRAYIMAKET]

👍

[@mrpayola4466]

Yea sir got my plugs and coils changed all good to go !

[@jccorrea2381]

Did your bmw had fuel system pressure code on the ObS ? I’m having this problem

[@thokozanimbuyazi]

Thank you for an information.

[@Isac2003]

Can please someone help me i have a 318D gt and this faulty cod is showing up only when i go fast and when i put the obdi scanner its only saying fuil rail pressure sensor and clogged catalig converter some people told me its injector please someone help me thanks

[@darrellrogers5703]

Clearing them will clear however can't ignore the issue which goes back to the above components you have what's called an intermittent problem soon you will not be Abel to clear the codes until you fix those codes once it's done then yes after turn on car turn off car clear codes drive it for around 20 minutes you'll see that the errors will not re appear

Had this problem today with my 2014 328i. I was driving like normal and all of a sudden, she jerked like crazy and the error showed up.but kept goin. I pulled over stopped the engine, turned it back on. Error was gone. I had a little less than quarter tank of gas. Just as I was getting to the gas station literally stalled in the middle of the intersection about 4 times. Barley made it to the gas pump. After filling her up she was fine. But the problem may be in the gas tank, there are these little floats that measure the gas in the tank. Sometimes one of them gets stuck and won't properly measure the amount of gasoline in the tank. I just ran out of gas. Fuel pump may need to be replaced. Or both fuel pump and gas tank all together. But like you said it could be a hundred other things. Hope this helped love. And I hope you can find what the problem is soon.❤

[@mrpayola4466]

Sorry to hear this happened to you as well. Hopefully we never come across this problem again !

[@abdurrahmanarmani2399]

I am having the same issue. Now, the car is on the side of the road. I will fill it up with fuel. Hopefully, It works

[@savagegaming2539]

This helped me out today. Thankfully I was pulling into the gas station when it happened

[@mrpayola4466]

@@abdurrahmanarmani2399 spark plugs and coils were the culprit

[@sandiegocustomtees6875]

It happened to me and had to get gas and it away.

[@ricoboss79]

I still have the same thing on my 2013 f30 335i and also there is no power like before it has stage 2 + but runs now like worser then before stock

[@M63S]

I have the same with my F32 435i man, i fixed all oil leaks, cleaned both the vanoses, changed oil (Castrol Full Synsetic W05-30) and still have the problem when i’m accelerate hard. I’m thinking maybe to change the oil pump but it’s expensive and i don’t know if that’s the problem is. Very annoying

[@jorgeestrada3815]

Codes 123401 ( electri wastegate learning limits stop malfunction ) and 123432 ( Electronic wastegate learning limits stop: stop position, wastegate position close out of tolerance. ) mechani just shorter the wastegate link from the turbo aprox 1/4 if an inch and no more dravetrain malfunction.

[@hotboilep]

Pull coils out 1 by 1. I had one bad one

[@darrellrogers5703]

Ckp is the culprit also coils and plugs

[@reggiemyers7355]

I got new coil packs so now I have to get vacuum pump and lines which bmw will fix for 2900 hundred dollars

[@wyatt2669]

Guys my n26 is stage 2 with downpipe and charge pipes and it’s only making 260 horse power really confused on the power loss aswell as it has no engine light lmk

[@mrpayola4466]

Hopefully you got it figured out bro

[@walterneves5978]

I have a 3 months old 2024 X6M Competition. The vehicle stops for the same drivetrain message. I’m so done with BMW. Going back to a $3000 Honda or Toyota.

[@mrpayola4466]

That must be frustrating! My issue was plugs and coils.. I doubt it could be the same issue for you 2024 should have No problems! Did you figure out what the issue was ?

[@walterneves5978]

The dealer said it was a bad transmission , the car has been returned. I’ve seen lots of the x6 competition up for sale at such a low mileage, I’m assuming the x6 is not a reliable car for the price. @@mrpayola4466

[@Adamocky]

I have a Bmw 320i 2016 with 76k miles on it and it keeps smoking and shaking and when I press the gas it don’t speed up help me plz 😭how to fix it

[@zbaker0617]

Basically whoever had the car before you did not take care of it, you shouldn't be looking for advice on youtube for smoking coming from your car. Should go straight to mechanic. I have same engine as you in my 2015 328i I'm at almost 80k and it runs fine. Are you putting 93 octane and changing oil every 5k miles ?

[@vandanhorn77]

Got a 2013 650xdrive grancoupe get that dam code all the time 😢 it can be anything sparkplug mass air flow sensors fuel pump fuel management motherboard its such bull and everytime it happend my motor starts shaking violently like its going to shake out of the engine bay. Wish i knew

[@mrpayola4466]

Spark plugs & coils were the culprit!

[@GuillermoPatino-qi6oz]

Same issues i bring my car to the dealer and they say it will cost me like 25 thousand dollar to get the car fixed

[@mrpayola4466]

😢😳

[@mrpayola4466]

That’s crazy

[@605813x]

Had this happen to me in my 2018 x5 xdrive35i. Had low oil pressure resulting in my engine seizing up from letting it warm up. When I returned to my car it was not running and would not start. $18,000 for a new engine.

[@mrpayola4466]

No warranty from BMW? 😢

[@veluviorel]

Maybe will help some1, i have f30 320i bmw and had this problem draintrain. It was because dpf had reached its lifetime (was never replaced 250 000km)

Sorry to hear about the bad luck, my brother had the same issues drive train malfunction error, been driving with it like that for a few years now

[@sebastianjungle]

i had 0 flue tank and the massage came and car stop then i top it up then back to normal ? is that normal bec i didn’t have any flue in the car . that why the car stop and went to safe mode.

[@mrpayola4466]

Seems like your car went into limp mode after the fuel ran out. After idling the car for 5-10 minutes it may still appear. Once you start driving for a bit the message should go away regarding “ drivechain malfunction “

Did you get this problem fixed Or did everything go back to normal afterwards ?

[@TheIrfanxz44]

I have the same issue and code is charge pressure to high I think it’s boost pressure diverting valve or vacuum leak I didn’t check it yet because I get the message ones a week

[@mrpayola4466]

I realized BMWs are finicky, if it happened to you every once in awhile you should be ok. Once a week i would be concerned, should bring it to the dealer. Mine had been fine ever since i filmed this video!
