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
The engine management light will stay on letting u know that u have a problem u will need to have the car scanned for the code at an auto store or service station some do the scan for free the trouble will direct ur to ur problem ---the problem can be a different number of things from engine misfire to low on transmission fluid if ur lucky is may be just a dirty filter but u will need the car scanned good luck
