DSC Warning Lights

Hi,

I know there's been other threads on this in the past but I thought I'd see if anyone had any more ideas or solutions.
Recently my handbrake and DSC lights came on and wouldn't reset. I plugged the laptop in and got Fault code 5E21, no. 2 pressure sensor. When I checked the active pressures there was about a 10 Barr difference between the two braking circuits.
I changed the pressure sensor (it was second hand so I could have bought a duffer) and the brake fluid and gave both circuits a good bleed. The lights went off, thank god I thought.
Then, the other day both lights back on. 5E21 again, however the lights aren't on permanently. When the lights were on the was a difference of about 5 bar this time. The lights are now off and the fault cleared but I think they'll be back soon.
Is there anything else that could cause this before I go forking out on a new sensor (probably should have done that first)?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Hi and welcome
Swap the sensors front to back and see if the fault code changes to the other sensor position. Might help diagnose the faulty sensor if the fault transfers?
 
Cheers, I'll try that next time the lights come back on. They haven't been on since the original post. I can see this being a complete pain until they're on permanently.
