Brake,ABS, DSC lights on

[blktoptrvl]

I have had my X for a year. I ALWAYS get these lights on first start when it is cold out.

Took it to the dealer last week. He reports that the battery has a dead cell (as I suspected). It has been replaced (gratis!) and I am told there are no more lights. I will pick it up Saturday.

I just had mine sorted. These 3 lights came on only when I drove at speed on the motorways.

It was the steering angle sensor. Got a BM specailist to plug his computer to it and reset the configuration and it has solved the issue.

I had the X5 running and turned the wheels to the left and then the right and then the lights went off.....she's been fine...so far.

for the past month, i had those 3 lights lit up for at least 20 times, i just reset them and they are gone, after few days or sometimes just a day they are back, especially when its cold..

yesterday, i brought her in to the dealer, got a call from the SA just right now, hes saying its the transfer case fluid? and not the sensors?

Check the cruise control. I had same problem with cruise control mal-functioning. It turned out that left rear speedo wasn't working properly. Good luck!

this time, there is a chance the dealer was right regarding the Transfer Case fluid... how did i know? i sent a pm to Weasel ( ) and confirmed it could be a possibility that i just need to replace the Transfer Case fluid (not covered by WD, but its ok)...

im expecting to get my X5 back today...

It started with two hang-ups on the parking sensors, next the brake, ABS,DSC warnings. Then silence for a couple of weeks. Then back to brake, ABS,DSC warnings + transmission failsafe. Then in addition the engine temp, odometer and vaacummeter is cutting out half the time, the engine fan is running like hell and the climate system refuses to start. I have warnings about the fuel system failing, - and now I have given up and booked at the stealers garage next week.
As far as I have been able to control all is functioning except for the car data system.
I'll report later.

Bigtom,

I've been having that issue for a while now. I was told that it is the DSC/Antilock brake module, the part is $1200-$1500 (depending on where you go) but I was told that Modulemaster.com will rebuild it for $300 and guarantees their work. I plan to send mine to them but I havent found anyone that can remove the part for me. It is driveable even after the part is removed. Let me know what the "stealer" tells you.

That worked - Thanks!
