It's all yellow

Another update on my 3 yellow lights..
Plugged in my code reader and did a live feed of wheel speed sensors,all 4 were working when driving occasionally dipping a single mph on some wheels when driving .I'd say that's due to road undulating.
So from that I can assume it's not the wheel sensor.
I cannot erase the error codes for the steering sensor or the DTC both .
My scanner says .
Does not support this function.
So am o right in saying ..
I have to recalibrate steering .to erase these codes..

Well, sorry to hear that, but it seems we both bought useful tools that did not quite get the job done.
It will take a while before I can get my Scanner V14 back down here, but it seems that these Foxwell & Creator tools are more for telling you what is happening than for fixing them. I find it interesting that your scanner also tells you something along the lines that a function is not supported. That is what my Creator tool says about the DELETE TRANSPORT MODE function.
Bummer. Hope you can fix yours quickly.
 
Yes I do find it kind of silly..
I did watch a youtube video that showed the same 3 lights issue.. and the guy performed a reset of the steering sensor.
Just doing that eradicated the 3 lights..
So that's next ..
 
Ok heads up to all you guys who have followed this thread.
Here's the answer /conclusion..

The reader I bought came up.with the codes but cannot reset them by erase code feature on this issue.
The code reader doesn't tell you that the only way to clear these codes is to calibrate the steering sensor..
As soon as the calibration awas done the three yellow warning symbols dissaperd , and the dashboard is normal once again .

I've got no idea why it needed recalibrating or what caused it.

I hope this will be of some help to others who get this issue.

By the way autophix 7910 is worth buying it can do virtually everything a z4 owner needs ,without having to.plug it into a laptop....£80from ebay..

Many thanks for all your help

Good to know you got those lights off. :thumbsup:

My car was exactly the same - resetting the steering angle sensor cleared the 3 lights.

When you say wheel alignment?.do you mean steering sensor calibration..?

Nope, I meant 4 wheel alignment at a shop that does that. Steering angle sensor probably detects that values are fine again after some driving and turns the lights off. That's how it was for me.
