2003 2.5i, yellow brake light, DSC, and tire pressure lamps on hot days

I was quoted over £900 for both sensors for my Z3 from BM|W (new obviously).
Managed to find both second hand but still paid over £300 for the pair.

I would imagine the Z4 ones are very similar as my car has DSC.

And, yes, mine were both knackered from swimming in water!
There's only one in the Z4.
They only seem to fail when they get wet, so a dry secondhand one should suffice.
 
I suggest getting the battery tested, if they go off after shutting car off and turning back on the next day it’s most likely a voltage imbalance from a failing battery. If the battery is healthy check the faults, either wheel speed sensor or pressure sensor issue.

I had the same issue on my ‘03 z4. Those 2 lights would come on but go off after car sat for a while. New battery, cleared faults, and the lights never came back on.

The inpa error says:

5E30 Querbeschleunigung Sensor elektrisch defekt

Which translates to:

5E30 Lateral acceleration sensor electrically defective


... So CoPilot is probably hallucinating. (how can error 5E30 be pressure sensor #1) When the direct translation says "lateral acceleration sensor"?

Where do I go to find authoritive source for error code 5E30?
