If you get a TCM with the same part number, you don't need to code it, but if the TCM has a different part number then you will have to get it coded. BMW just doesn't make it easy for DIYer to be working on their cars.

Do you think it might be helpful if replacing the ABS module?

You have to erase codes they should reset the gear icon but if the problem is legit they will just come back.

You don't have be a second level scanner? If abs or brake light on the module should report error.
