I have a BMW x5 2004 4.4Lt. When i drive it slows down and give a warning that says ''Enigine failsafe prog''. The 4x4 light allso came on. Then it said DSC 4x4 inactive. Looking for answers, it seems like the DME is giving problems, but i am unable to locate the DME.

Read the code to see what caused the failsafe to engage.

You have an alternator or battery concerne,low voltage caused all the other problems,Start with a battery,then have alternator tested.The failsafes are designed to keep from burning up solenoids and other electronic components.

SOURCE: DTC/DSC warning light appeared on my 120d

My advice - take the vehicle to your local dealer - tell them you just want it diagniosed - agree a time of say 20 minuits. That way you will know for sure and can then carry out any diy repairs yourself BUT should it require a complete hydraulic unit which is likely as they are hmm what's the word ... ****!- contact BMW customer service for financial contribution.

SOURCE: BMW X5 2004 TRANS FAILSAFE PROG

Hi; If I get the 'Trans Failsafe Prog" message twice within about 2 hours, The SES light will go on automatically. Since I do not seem to have any real transmission problems, this SES message clears itself in about 24 hours. The "Trans Failsafe Prog" messageseems to be used to indicate other transmission problems as well, like loss of transmission fluid, so be careful. I have a 2002 X5. Cheers. Omer

Hi can I fix the engine failsafe prog issue on a 2004 bmw x5?

Read the OBDII code (or have the codes read). There are multiple possible causes. The code will give a clear indication of the cause.

Transmission failsafe

from your brief description i would say your alternator has failed, which means the car can no longer recharge the battery or supply battery to the car itself.

I have a 2004 BMW X5, i was driving up a hill when the trans failsafe prog light came on, it has done this before & I was told pull over turn engine off, wait 5min at it will go, which it did. Though...

The transmission has gone into limp mode. My Boomer done the same thing' if it wont reset itself i think the only option is a BMW dealer to faultfind. Very complicated computor controlled transmission beyond any novice im afraid.
