Warning lights - what are they telling me?

[DR-Z]

Driving to work this morning, suddenly three yellow warning lights came up. I don't have the manual with me, but I think they are:
- ABS warning light
- Handbrake warning light (next to the ABS one)
- DSC warning light.

The car feel fine, and the brakes seem to work OK. Any ideas?

Snow forecast later, so don't fancy driving in snow without ABS and DSC.

When that happened to me on my Series 1 my hydro pump unit had packed up which is a well documented problem on the early Series I model. BMW (Bosch) brought out a cost effective repair module thankfully. Your DSC is now inactive so drive cautiously and get the garage to look at it ASAP.

could be anything from an abs sensor to the dreaded pump controller, hope its a dirty sensor

Dirty sensor? Do you mean at the wheels?

Hi,

Seems to be a few people experiencing ABS/DSC "Faults" lately, iirc some have cured the issue by resetting the steering angle sensor, just do a search on here, it's an easy DIY. And if it doesn't cure the problem at least you haven't spent out

I'm dealing with a fault on two of those, the Hand brake and DSC. The scanner I use told me right rear wheel sensor, but a new sensor did not fix the problem, after a lot of research I believe it comes down to a Steering Angle Sensor.

Right now the car is in need on a front suspension bushing change, which I have planned as soon as my bushings come in. Plus a front end alignment. The Steering Wheel is cocked in a 2 o-clock position right now, which I believe is telling the car that it's driving in a circle, but the wheel speed sensors are telling the car that its driving straight.

So hopefully getting the frontend sorted well help my problem with the fault lights as well.
