It is recommended to keep the BMW DTC on at all times during normal driving. The system is usually enabled by default, and it is not advisable to turn off DTC. During daily driving, DTC can promptly identify the risk of vehicle skidding and stabilize the vehicle instantly to prevent loss of control. Here is some relevant information about DTC: 1. Definition: DTC refers to the Dynamic Traction Control system, which is a sub-function of BMW's proud DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system. It allows for a certain degree of wheel slip within specific limits. 2. Function: When driving on icy, rainy, or snowy roads, vehicles are prone to skidding. The DTC button can be used to control and prevent tire slippage. If the DTC button light is on, it indicates the system is off. If accidentally turned off, pressing the DTC button on the center console once will enable it. In DTC mode, a certain degree of rear wheel slip is allowed.

Can a motorcycle start if the ignition coil is broken?

Motorcycles cannot start if the ignition coil is broken. A damaged ignition coil will cause the engine to fail to start due to the absence of high-voltage spark or result in jerky movement while riding due to intermittent spark. Symptoms of a damaged ignition coil: When the ignition coil is broken, issues such as no high-voltage spark or weak high-voltage spark may occur, preventing the engine from starting or running normally. Sometimes, it can also lead to incorrect ignition timing or unstable engine operation after starting, along with difficulty accelerating. Solutions for a damaged ignition coil: A damaged ignition coil does not require repair—it should be replaced directly. The ignition coil is a device capable of providing sufficient energy in an instant to ignite coal dust, oil (gas) fuel, and stabilize the flame. In vehicles, the ignition coil is part of the system that starts the engine.
