Keep getting this Code on my E93 and the car keeps going into limp mode

Tut4u2 · 05-05-2022, 10:15 PM

Have you done your throttle body actuators?

When the throttle body actuators are going bad, very often the error message displayed on iDrive and the code description is "DSC Malfunction". The code can be cleared with the Carly App but it may (will keep returning every so often). To get new Actuators contact BOOF-M3 who is a forum member and part supplier.

Check the connection or make sure it's fully seated. If you got a refurb unit then it might be bad. Easy check is to swap them and see if the code moves.

I have been noticing that guys/gals issues have been related to their battery or alternator. If you are not getting enough voltage coming from your electrical system it CAN prevent the actuators from opening. I have also seen issues with the clips going bad that connect to the actuator. Checking voltage to the clips may be something you want to check.

Healthy battery voltage with engine off is ~13.3V. Below ~12.5V random codes appear.

Someone was at 12.4 recently so there you go. One of his throttle bodies will not open so that may be the issue.
