DSC Traction, ABS, Parking

After pulling over and stopping the engine, i then started it back up and set off the light above still present, then the tyre pressure light came on

I have checked all the tyre pressures and they was ok

I have had this checked on bmw software , i dont have the code i believe it was dsc something and was diagnosed as abs module

any advice

thanks

Hi mate,

Same thing happened to me earlier this year. Same lights as yours and I do recall the tyre pressure sensor light coming on initally then going off. Soon thereafter all lights went off for a couple of days then same lights back on minus the tyre pressure sensor. This problem repeats itself and it was a similar story with other z4 owners with the information I discovered on the forum. My car seemed to work ok no problems with brakes and steering at all, just that when the lights are on the DSC traction control does not work so have to be careful in the wet.

What my local BMW specialist told me is the ABS pump develops a fault which is common on 3.0 liitre models including the 3 series. Mine was fixed by the specialist around £500-£600. However the AA covered mine under 'garage, parts and labour' which I''ve had since joining AA and had the same policy prior with RAC as well. What I've also discovered is the stealers like to charge around £2000 to have this problem fixed.

Some people have tried disconnecting the battery and the lights have gone off and others have tried turning the steering wheell a full lock on both ways and the lights have disappeared. Try these first before you pay for a diagnostic test at the dealers.

Wish you well mate.
 
I also had similar probs n lights it was the abs pump etc got it diagnosed at local indy and they sent it off to be refurbed £350 ish . Lifetime Warranty. Ecs tuning Birmingham.
Hope this helps .
 
Affected my 2.0 as well, ABS pump refurbed by ECU testing, £300 odd, lifetime warranty. Good luck
 
Check your wheel alignment and recalibrate the steering through BMW diagnostic software. The steering angle sensor is possibly detecting a fault due to the pulling left condition stated and logged an error code in the system causing the 3 warning lights (yellow parking brake, DSC and TPMS)
