BMW X3 4x4 light only on

Recommended Posts

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?

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.
