ABS Module question

I believe you can still drive your car with the ABS unit out..you just won't have ABS.
And I would suggest an X5 without ABS still has a lower risk of injury to driver/passenger than a motorcycle would... And before anyone flames me, I do have a current motorcycle license and have been riding for 30 yrs. |

I had heard that you could drive without the module, but it wasn't a good idea. I just wanted to know if you could swap out the module with a module with the same part number. |

You might not need to recode a same part # module if it comes from the same vehicle w/ the same options but I'm pretty sure you will still need to recalibrate the steering angle sensor using DIS or equivalent software. The junkyard module might work enough that at least your speedometer works. In the meantime then you can send your original unit out to have it repaired. When that comes back you still may need to recalibrate the steering angle - I have read that if you drive the vehicle for any length of time w/ your original ABS module removed you'll have to do that.

If you have DSC the steering angle sensor will need to be calibrated. There is a slight chance that calibration is not needed if you remove and install the same module with steering wheel exactly straight ahead (sensor at the same position within a few degrees).

When my E39 M5 DSC module was dying, the lights would only come on some of the time and it also seemed to be temperature related.
When my E53 DSC module recently died (and it died so badly DIS and INPA and SSS can't communicate with it), the speedometer still works even though the trifecta lights arre on. |

I haven't gotten the code read yet. I haven't bought the code reader yet.
