Anyone knows what AWD and DSC Malfunction stands for....on my 535 XI BMW;I need info. in this Malfunction.

 

Turn the wheel all the way to the left, and then all the way to the right, click to click.

This should alleviate the malfunction. If it doesn't, you will need an OBD II scanner to diagnose the problem.

But the wheel trick should work.

 

It could also be a battery or alternator issue. Also could be the transfer case - in my case, it was actually the servo motor and the control module of the transfer case that prompted those codes along with a AWD Malfunction message on the iDrive - but this was due to some moisture getting into the area where front passenger's feet would be. If your carpets are dry and there's no moisture in the battery compartment or the compartment under the spare, its probably just a little "gremlin".

Let us know hot it goes. Good luck.

 

ur under warranty. Bring it to the dealers! My friend 08wite has the same problem only when driving at highway speeds.

 

+1 on the battery and alternator - my dealer replaced both of these.
Also, check your tire pressure.

 

that means your battery is low. you can reset it by turning your steering wheel all the way to the left and then steering it back all the way to the right. That should reset the error warning.

 

I had the same problem. The dealer replaced a sensor under warranty. It isn't always a battery or alternator problem but it could be. I suggest taking it to the dealer. I took a photo of the error message and the instrument cluster to document exactly what I had seen.
Good luck.

 

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that this malfunction only appears when I start the car and after 50 seconds it goes away...Thanks for the info

 

If this is the case, that it only happens when the car starts, it is likely that the steering wheel click to click turning trick will work.

 

Ditto Chaz. I had the identical problem. Couldn't get it to go away on my 535xi. Dealer replaced the defective sensor on the steering column.
