So, the error that keeps coming back when you delete. That's the error causing the 4x4 (DSC/xdrive) error? Can you take a pic of the DIS screen where you can see the fault. Also, a pic of the short test result where it shows the symptoms.

I'll try and see what I can find in the control modules section even though mine is a different version of DIS.

well yes i can just to tell you when i first got into DIS the error was coming up in the DSC module but after i deleted it, it started coming from LWS(Steering angle sensor). This week i will try to hook up my computer because i dont use a laptop to the thing and take pictures for you. Thank you for your helpful tips i will keep it updated once i have picture

You didn't happen to do any of these recently did you(see pic below)? Its a list of events that require the steering angle sensor to be re-calibrated.

If you can't recalibrate it then it probably needs replacement. I would still like to see those screenshots though.

i changed the lower control arms and i think i need a recalibrate it i tried to do it i remember seeing a screen like that in SSS where it said that LWS needs to be recalibrate it if any of this happen.

Have you confirmed that SSS is running properly by using it to code/program anything yet?

I would think if you didn't touch the sensor then it should not be bad and you should be able to recalibrate it.

just to make sure i recoded the dsc module and i think i can confirm it works bc when i did it the abs brake tire pressure lights come on and in few seconds disappeared but the dsc light still stayed on!!!

Well, I would confirm it by doing something simple like the key memory or the car memory options. Let me dig something up for you.

Here you go. Go to the first post, towards the bottom, on this thread.

You should see this below. Try one of these two simple items to confirm SSS is fine. Just click on the link and it will go to the DIY.

DIY - Encoding:
Automatic Locking After Starting Off
Daytime Driving Light (DRL)

EDIT: Oops! I forgot you use SSS not DIS for programming.
Sorry about that. Anyways, you get the idea. You can do the same items in SSS. Those two should be simple to do in SSS I would think.

Ye this version of DIS is more simple then the SSS is more in depth when you connect to the car it automatically brings up all the modules that the car has i know 100% the programming works because i reprogrammed a cluster and the trip odometer went from 500 to 0.
