Hi all,

I have a problem on my X5 3.OL I (2001) and my local BMW dealer here in the Caribbean doeans't know what to do...
I have the 3 brake warning lights on (used pads, ABS and the general brake warning light), all yellow (not red) most of the time, and if these lights are on BEFORE starting the engine (means with the key is in position 2 before starting the engine), the EML light come on and the engine starts on the limp mode.
I have to stop the engine, try to start again, until the EML and brake lights (except the used pad light which is still on) go off, so the engine finally starts ok.

The brake pads are new, there is no error code on the OBD, the BMW dealer says that he can't do anything since there is not an error code... On the other hand, they didn't even check the pads and ABS sensors...

So my questions:
- Do the brake warning lights can drive the EML light on and the engine in limp mode?
- Is there a way to check the brake sensors (pads and ABS) myself?

Many thanks in advance for your help as nobody seems to be able to help around here, not even the BMW dealer!!
