It reads real-time wheel speed sensor data, steering angle input, throttle positioning, yaw-rate metrics, and clutch engagement percentages.
ISTA+ is the official dealership-level diagnostic and programming software used by BMW technicians worldwide.

Use the tester to run a "Transfer Case Actuator Motor Test." If the actuator cannot move to the commanded position, the gears inside are stripped. 2. Transfer Case Fluid Service (Fluid Counter)

The tester accesses sensor metrics directly from the VTG module during vehicle operation. Technicians can view:
A pro-level xDrive tester allows you to command the clutch duty cycle manually. Raise the vehicle on a lift. With the engine running, command the clutch from 0% to 30% to 60% to 90% while watching all four wheels spin. If the front wheels never engage despite a 90% duty cycle command, the transfer case clutch pack is physically worn out.
—the focus is usually on how the system balances BMW’s traditional rear-wheel-drive "feel" with all-weather capability. Intelligent Traction Real-Time Data Stream Monitoring Use the tester to

In standard conditions, the system maintains a to keep that classic, agile BMW road feel. However, using an array of sensors—monitoring steering angle, wheel speed, throttle position, and lateral acceleration—the vehicle can divert up to 100% of available torque to a single axle in milliseconds.
