BMW X5 Drivetrain Malfunction After Valve Cover Replacement

Hello everyone, I own a 2014 BMW X5 with a gasoline engine and 101,001 km on the odometer. Recently, I replaced the valve cover with a new valve cover gasket kit. After this replacement, the check engine light turned on, and I received a 'Drivetrain malfunction' error. Could anyone provide insights into what might be causing this issue and how to resolve it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Summary of the thread

After replacing the valve cover on a 2014 BMW X5, a 'Drivetrain malfunction' error and check engine light appeared. This issue may be caused by improperly reconnected electrical connectors or vacuum lines around the valve cover area. Ensuring all connections are secure and correctly attached could resolve the problem.

Double-check that all electrical connectors and vacuum lines around the valve cover area are properly reconnected and secure. A loose or disconnected sensor could trigger the check engine light and drivetrain malfunction error. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
