DSC, Engine malfunction warnings
Got the same x5 4X4, DSC warning a couple times over past two weeks. On one occasion the computer cut power to the engine and the engine malfunction light came on too.
Dealer today said a BMW bulletin exists about this. A faulty cable harness is the problem. A replacement is the solution. He's overnighting the part for immediate install. Will post update after fix. 2009 BMW x5 4.8i, 55K miles. |
interesting...throttle body harness like jlam posted??
Let us know, and please get the SIB number (service bulletin number) when you pick up the car. |
DSC, Engine malfunction warnings BMW Bulletin Fix
Here is the fix: BMW Bulletin #61-15-09. Repair cable part 12-51-7-602-973.
My 09 x5 4.8i now drives like a completely different vehicle. I dropped off a gravel truck and picked up a 3 series! Throttle tip-in is now smooth, shifts are snappy, acceleration smooth and strong! Hat is off to Carrera BMW, Bend, OR for doing the research and fixing the problem. |

Thanks :thumbup: |
I do not have the actual Bulletin, just the service incvoice referencing the Bulletin and part replacement. It is as attached below. I would presume any BMW dealer can look this up and discuss with you. Hope this helps.

I still have no update on the car status.
Stay tuned folks. :/ I am starting to miss my X (that sounds a bit needy). |
UPDATE:
Got the car back before the weekend. So far I've driven about 260 miles and everything is ok. Following work was performed: - Engine Malfunction: replaced throttle body - adjusted steering angle sensor and re-calibrated So far so good. We will see in few more days. |
FINAL UPDATE:
Got about 600 miles plus on the car, since the repair, and everything behaves. Considering the issue fixed. |
Cars in the shop again for engine malfunction..AWD/DSC malfunction. Throttle wire harness/throttle valve replaced last week. I have a brand new battery. Any thoughts on what this might be. Thanks.
