Dsc warning light on , bmw e46 - 2004 BMW 3 Series

  • YourBMWtech May 16, 2011

    Have you ever had the vehicle's diagnostic codes checked? Do you have any paperwork they gave you? DSC can be anything from a steering sensor, to your ABS.

    5020e and 5024e codes, just had 2 pressure sensors changed, £80 each, seems to have solved the problem, far better than £1000+ first quoted, luckily i have external sensors not internal. BMW in Colchester very helpful.

Dynamic Stability Control....a derivitave of ABS / Traction control. The control unit that monitors the dynamics will most likely be sensing a difference in the measured wheel speeds. Possibly defective ABS sensor, wiring, ABS exciter ring, ABS module or steering angle sensor. Can also be triggered by wheel spin.
Have a diagnostic scan done ( cost £30 - £50 approx at good local garage) to read the fault codes first. If you get a fault code relating to "ABS module pressure sensor" the module requires replacement (common issue). Used to be a £1400 job, but repair kit now available from dealer for £180 ish and 2 hours to fit.

The vehicle owner's manual will contain that information.

SOURCE: hi, x 2 warning lights came on tonight on my 2001

These lights indicate you have an ABS fault as the DSC needs to see a signal from the wheel speed sensors, One of the wheel speed sensors will have failed, find someone with a scanner to determine which one, then replace faulty sensor and reset light
