The diagnostic function monitors the onboard electrical system's voltage at the DME while the engine is running.

I could be wrong but i believe it is assumed there is a P in front so it would be P3876...

I do too. Pretty sure it's a battery wire connection. There was a BMW recall. Call your service advisor and ask if your car is affected by the recall. If it is, then that will likely fix the issue.

Best i could find is that it has something to do with power management...wtf that means idk.

i had the battery cable recall completed over a year ago if that is the recall being mentioned.

I have since cleared the code and it hasn't come back.
