Money lights came on (braking system)
This morning driving in, the brake warning, ABS and DSC lights all came on (all yellow).
 So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this .......... and what was the issue. ABS control module pooched ??!??! Taking in sometime today or tomorrow morning........... with a jar of vaseline.

Start car , turn wheel all the left , then all the way right and all the way to the left again and they should reset. This might be a faulty steering sensor, but many have reported the reset fixes the problem perminently.

I was told it's the ABS control module on it's way out ............ $2000 CAN at the stealership as I checked with my "buddy" in the parts department. Yeeeah baby !!!
 The lights never came back on the next time I drove it though. Not sure what that means............... maybe my X5 is self healing ?!??!?! Oh yeah, the front end steering is all clunky............ especially over the bumps.......... something else I gotta fix now too. Last edited by Tominizer; 06-18-2008 at 10:31 PM.

I had the same issue, plus the speedo crapped out. Turned out to be a bad wheel speed sensor in the back. (They run the speedo and feed info to the ABS computer and traction control) Total cost was $138 installed. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I would have your codes read by a BMW DIS, GT1 or Autologic computer. I had this problem just a month back and it was a faulty wheel speed sensor. And get a second opinion! I know someone that took the dealership advice and repalced the module, however still had the light on. It turned out to be a faulty abs sensor, but still had to dish out an arm and a leg for an unneed abs module!

I had this happen...
One mechanic shop said it was the Rear right abs speed sensor. Another said it was the steering angle sensor. Steering angle sensor cost $125 ABS sensor was $150ish. Eventually the light went out.

less likely it is the abs module, but possible. usually, there is only DSC light come on (brake and abs light do not come on) if it is the abs module fail. most likey it is the steering wheel sensor or abs sensor (someone call it wheel speed sensor, officially called pulse generator, abs). if it is abs sensor, you might notice that your car applies brake unintentionaly when you start to drive before lights come on after each time you start your car. did you do any job on front suspension before?
