    are you sure brake pads are fine on both axles? sometimes when pads get low, the ABS and/or DSC lights illuminate.

It is most likely a faulty sensor, you will need to scan it with diagnostic tool to help find problem

fuse 33 on the inside fuse box (there are two) should be the one you want.

SOURCE: reset the wheel sensors on BMW e46

If you took this in and had BMW do the work to fix it and it is not fixed why do you not return to BMW and get it fixed, If you have paid for a repair and the repair did not solve the problem have them refund your money.

SOURCE: BMW warning lights: BRAKE, ABS and DSC

speedometer prabably stopped working also. ABS module shorted out. Will need to be rebuilt. Go to modulemaster.com. Put in your car info. The site will advise how to diagnose kind of. It will tell you how to remove unit and ship and how to protect the connector and valve body so you can still drive your car. This happened to my 2000 528i so i'm confident this is your problem. When you get the unit back just hook it up and away you go. Lights will go off on thier own right away. Dealer wants over 1000 bucks and will only sell you a new unit. This should be around $350 all said and done.

SOURCE: abs brake light dsc on 2003 bmw 325i

many reasons for this. A bad relay can do it, or a wheel speed sensor can to. Also the relay may be at fault. You can have the codes checked for free at any Auto Zone and they will tell you what part is bad

ABS and diff lights are on

Because your tires were slipping

Those systems don't work on snow
& are not needed, but were all stuck with them

No way to cut a wire or remove a fuse


Thank the Federal Govt for useless technology

Brake,abs and dsc lights game on

theres a problem with the abs, when the abs has a problem the brake and abs light come on, also dsc light does too, because it uses the abs to control the system so when abs doesnt work it shuts down the dsc and turns the light on, you will need to have the abs system scanned for codes these codes will give an idea of whats not working and it can be diagnosed why.

2000 bmw x5 nav screen blank. radio works but no

I know this is an old thread, but my 2006 325i Nav screen went bank also, but the radio still played. I noticed the glove box light and trunk light did not turn on also. I was told from mechanics is was probably a CID module for $2200, even though I mentioned the glove box and trunk light light were out and specifically inquired about a fuse. The mechanics never checked the fuses, because I checked my fuses in the glove box and found the fuse 61 marked with a BMW symbol that looks like light bulb was blown. The Nav screen started back up once the fuse was changed.

Have replaced ABS module on bmw 525 E39 and ABS now ok, but the ASC lamp will not go off on the dash and fault code 23 (incorrect coding) will not clear from system? Everyone told us the ABS ecu does not...

ABS/ASC module is faulty
CLASSIC ABS FAILURE SYMPTOMS:
- Most of the time, the problem is the ABS module or one of the 4 wheel speed sensors (& sometimes the brake pressure sensor)
- In my 2002 BMW E39 DSC, three orange (warning) cluster display lights lit, ABS, Brake, & DSC
- The 3 warning lights reset when the ignition is turned off, only to repeatedly reappear within minutes of normal driving
- The fault is often intermittent leading you to falsely believe you've resolved the problem (proper diagnosis is important)
- Sometimes the fault only appears when the engine is hot; other times only at speeds over 40 mph
- Carsoft may erroneously show a rear speed sensor failure; but just replacing the speed sensor may make no difference.
- All the work is in correct diagnosis of the problem; parts replacement is trivial (from 1 to six bolts in a few minutes)
- Hence, this BMW E39 ABS 3-warning light DIY will concentrate on understanding and diagnosis of the problem

DSC and DTC failed on 36000 miles under 4 year BMW 120D

I think you should check ABS sensor ring on the rear wheels. This is known to come loose and cause this problem. Hopefully it's just that you not the entire hydraulic unit

Speedometer, RPM, ABS, and Brake light

It's not the fuse. You need to jump start the diagnostic cable. First you need a battery of 9v and short the + and - terminal to the diagnostic cable. Then you will see smoke. After that it should work fine.

X5 abs trac controle and stabilety controle

Hello Steve

The problem is in the fuse box. The ABS Fuse needs replacing and while you are doing this make sure you check other fuses too, as the ABS fuse normally takes out other fuses but not always.

Hope this helps. Please don't forget to rate me.

Thanks
