Hello, I am reaching out to this forum for some guidance/advice for an issue I've been having with my 2008 328xi.
To sum it up, my 4x4 has stopped working and my dash is lit up.
The lights are: ABS, DTC, 4x4, and BREAK. The codes associated with my issues are: 5F3A & 5F13
I've done some searching and narrowed it down to my transfercase actuator motor. I can confirm I have no 4x4, no ABS, and no DTC. A few posts on forums have stated that you would hear a grinding noise when the car shuts off, but that does not occur in my case. I have had this problem for about 5 months now (should've addressed it sooner), but the light is constantly on after start up and is not intermittent like some people have stated on forums. Mechanically, the car seems sound (no jittering, no loss of power etc.) Occasionally I hear a slight ticking noise, which is related to RPM, from somewhere under the car (not 100%). Before I order a new actuator, I really want to 100% confirm this is the problem. Could it be something completely unrelated, such as electrical or sensor related? I've heard that a faulty speed sensor also displays similar lights on the dash.
anything helps! thanks!

If you buy a wifi adapter and BimmerGeeks ProTool you can use the app to operate the actuator motor. And read codes.
