you remind me one possible reason causing the problem in my 03 4.4i
I kept the gas low and always went to gas stations when the gas light turns on. but I only drove my x5 for about 8 months. I guess I need stop doing that.

I took my X5 to the dealer and my service adviser told me SES is only to do with exhaust system. After the technician checked the error code, my adviser asked if I have been very low on gas and I said "never."
Still they concluded that at certain point my gas was so low it messed up engine firing order. They had to reset it and it was good to go.
The interesting fact is during this period I was getting better gas mileage like +2MPG.
