Sorry if it's a daft question but facelift E85 yes?
If so, due to a slight miscalculation I have a spare second-hand yaw sensor. Not fitted it so cannot 100% say it works, but if needed I could post it to you and then we could sort out the cost if you fit it and it cures your snag. Part number: 34526769174

Are you sure there are four lights and you haven’t just got the handbrake on? As the speedo is reading 12mph, the answer could be yes or no! I am not far from you - other side of Farnham - and have code reading technology (Creator 310+ and INPA). Happy to help if it saves you some pennies.

Yes definitely 4 lights, and they only come on for a fraction of a second, hence why I had to take the picture as I was driving. Are you there today, could pop over and have a go with the fault reader if you are about?Zedebee wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:42 am Are you sure there are four lights and you haven’t just got the handbrake on?

Is there any way of testing if the battery is defective? Would still be under warranty

DSC Sensor Issue
So after a few hours googling, I've narrowed down the problem to a DSC sensor, an ABS sensor, a battery, or an alternator (or voltage regulator)

I told you at the beginning, glad that you finally listened me. so many ppl went through this some actually managed to spend so much money fixing something that is not related to actual problem.

I had the battery on a CTEK trickle charger, its in the back of my mind that I've let it go to a stage that has overcharged the battery

Must admit I thought the Ctek was cleverer than that.
Notwithstanding the (somewhat brusque) advice of others, I think even a fairly basic code reader would be able to tell you if it's an ABS sensor. My Autophix 5900 told me exactly which wheel had the issue.
Got to be worth a check of that, it's even easier than swapping a battery.
