No Start, drivetrain malfunction issue. help diagnosing
I have a 2013 335xi. The car has a bootmod stage 2+. It has been running excellent until out of nowhere a few days ago as I tried to get onto there interstate and hit the accelerator the car it had no power, shaking as it was accelerating etc.
I limped my way to work and now the car won't start with a "drivetrain malfunction" error message on my screen. The car will continue to turn over easily if I try to start it but won't catch. I ran my codes and came up with: 133E10 Valvetronic system disabled. More common to h verstellfehler 113026 relay ignition and injectors. Supply voltage injection. Short circuit to ground 119404 rail pressure sensor signal: fixed lying I've tried to search the forums for each one as well as Google. They are all fairly non-descript and haven't lead me anywhere to start my diagnostics. The nearest BMW dealer is over 2 hrs away from my rural town and I do have fairly extensive mechanical skills but I am struggling to find the first step to go with. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've so far: Replaced the IVM, replaced the battery. I have new coils that just arrived (waiting on my plugs) I'm afraid it might be the DME was fried, but unsure how to test for that (just basing that off of reading my search results). Fuel pump does prime itself. I have BM3, Bimmercode, and bimmer-tool for diagnostics |

Can you install ISTA? You might need a more in depth diagnostic tool.
Did you check the connections to the DME? If you are running stage 2+ i assume you have a HPFP and at some point have messed with those connections? |

I unfortunately was not the owner who had the car tuned, so I'm not 100% sure what was done to the engine. I'm pretty much trouble shooting blind and trying to eliminate one thing at a time. I will check the connections at the DME ( I need to go out and locate it, most of the videos and pictures I've seen for the location of the DME is not where mine is) I was an E46 guy for a long time so I'm very familiar with those engines, but I'm very new to the f30 world. |

I seen that too about 2+.. my guess is he's pwg and just stage 2... add the fact that he doesn't know if it had an upgraded hpfp, I'm gonna say no.

fondry, fyi.. bm3 stage 2+ requires an ewg car with an upgraded hpfp and either race gas or e30+.
definitely check all the wiring though for issues but you may have a valvetronic issue that will need further diagnostic

Is there any way to check the Valvetronic system myself? I'd hate to trailer the car 2 hours to the closest bmw dealer. Checking the wiring, anywhere specific I should be checking? The wires to the DME? I finally found it under the intake manifold. Is there any way to access the DME with the diagnostic tools to check if it's working properly? |

Is there a specific and trusted place to download ISTA? I'm assuming I'm looking for ISTA+?

https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/b.../#post-9893663 I have a '13 335 xdrive with pwg, what I've found is that there are a lot of issues that will give a drivetrain malfunction. I have gotten that when the demand for fuel exceeds the capability of my HPFP but you should get a fuel pressure code. The last time I had drivetrain malfunction was when I ran too high of an ethanol content so my HPFP couldn't keep up with demand. Previous to that I replaced my HPFP but I did have codes related to fuel pressure. When my HPFP failed the first time my car died when i was driving about 25mph and I got a fuel pressure code, I changed out my stage 2 LPFP thinking it was that and reinstalled my stock LPFP and then later my car died at higher speed accelerating and I got a fuel pressure code that pointed to the HPFP. After the car died it wouldn't start and after trying multiple times it did finally start. Since I changed my HPFP no issues.

Valvetronic, injectors, HPFP? Captain obvious but it looks electrical. Its less effort to first test all your related fuses and relays first and clear those components.

Agreed but either I'm completely stupid or it's hard to find. I can't find a good diagram for each of the fuse boxes to know which fuse goes to what. Is there a diagram somewhere that labels them all? And my car came without the pamphlet/diagram in the trunk from the previous owner

Are there specific fuses I should be focusing on or just run though with my multimeter in the continuity setting and just check them all? I'm assuming the main one I should focus on is the engine bay passenger side one? Also how can I check a relay to see if it's working properly? Thanks so much!! |
