DRivetrain Malfunction error

Ehodg66 · 01-24-2021, 02:19 PM

I have a 2014 F34 Msport w/ 55k. In the past few months i've a trustworthy shop change the oil cooler gaskets and the valve cover/gasket.
I was driving on the interstate friday and up pops a semi truck tread standing on edge. I couldn't avoid it. It damaged the lower part of my bumper and I had a purp/br wire hanging down from the back bumper. I think it goes to a sensor. I thought that was the end of my problem.
I did not drive the car while out of town but today while driving back on the interstate, I stepped on the gas to change lanes and got a hesitation. I pulled over and when I went to get back into traffic, the car hesitated again on acceleration and began to shake. I also got the drivetrain malfunction message.
I never had a check engine light or this message until 3/4 into my drive home. I've started my research and am waiting for the car to cool off before crawling underneath. I do not have software to diagnose and hoping to get some insight from the forum.
thanks in advance

Check your charge pipe. It's prolly blown off

My belly Pan is still in tact. You think the tire tread damaged the charge pipe?

Pop your hood, and check the plastic charge pipe that connects into your throttle body.

Inside the circle is your charge pipe. They tend to pop off. My car was stock and I down shifted to go through a yellow light and my car had no power and shook really bad with the same malfunction.

Cylinder 2 misfire on diagnostic. Switched out the coil with cylinder 1 to trouble shoot whether it was coil or plug. Cylinder 1 read misfire. Switched out the coil and no more issue. Changing plugs this weekend. Thanks for the feedback. Things to look for in the future.
Cheers
