What Causes a BMW to Stall Due to Drivetrain Malfunction?
1 Answers
The main causes of drivetrain malfunction in BMWs include the vehicle's computer failing to respond promptly, leading to program execution issues; damage to the fuel pump or fuel pump sensor; faulty fuel injectors; defective ignition coils; damaged or carbon-fouled spark plugs; and a malfunctioning turbo wastegate. Symptoms of the Malfunction: When the accelerator is pressed abruptly, a drivetrain malfunction warning may appear, sometimes accompanied by vehicle shaking. Overview of Drivetrain Malfunction: Drivetrain malfunction typically refers to issues with components such as the clutch, transmission, universal joint, final drive, differential, and axle shafts. However, in practice, many unrelated problems—like a faulty fuel pump, injectors, solenoid valves, sensors, or even a damaged screw—can trigger a "drivetrain malfunction" warning.
