andrewm 236 Report post Posted May 24, 2018 2006 bmw x3 110,000 km Changed the gear in the actuator at 92,000 as the cog was stripped and I had the triad of lights. I am thinking now the actuator motor is poked. Showing code 5F3A - Transfer case malfunction clutch stuck in the open position - Wheel speed sensors gave sensible readings and all the same when tested live - Steering angle sensor readings are correct through the whole range. - Battery is 1 month old so no issue there. - I will check for loose connections but any other thoughts before i spend $500 on a new actuator?

andrewm 236 Report post Posted July 22, 2018 FYI- closing this out as I hate it when I find threads with the same issue as me and no resolution. Showing 4x4 light only and reading that code means the actuator motor is poked, the best price is about $150USD shipped to NZ for the bosch motor but with a landrover part number, it is exactly the same just 1/4 the price of the BMW one. Transfers resistor over and bolt in new motor and light immediately goes off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
