Why is my 733i malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 733i’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my 733i malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1983 BMW 733i

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 733i's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your BMW, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your 733i and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1983 BMW 733i to maintain its performance power. Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Your 733i might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life."
