Another Trifecta of lights.

Third time in 3 years that I received the tri-fecta of lights. Good news is that it's not the transfer case gear.

Yep it's another wheel sensor. I replaced both sensors on the left side and the latest scan indicates that the front right sensor has an inplausible signal. Notice the ABS was kicking in as I came to a stop and the snow and ice had long melted from the road. Afterward the tri-fecta of lights came on. Another to do thing added to my list of to do thing for the X this year.

Never own a previous car in my entire life in which I had to replace a wheel sensor for ABS let alone three sensor right now.

The X only has 149,968 miles on it.

It depends on when your X was manufactured, but for my model year the pn is 34526756379.

Well she all fix again. Replace the wheel sensor and use my laptop with BMW scanner 1.4 to remove the DTC.

Had to replace the plastic housing at the harness since it fell apart when I went to pull the harness from the wheel sensor. Good thing I order a couple of extra plastic connectors the last time I did the driver side wheel sensor.

Nice work on the x5!

I hope it will behave at least for the next 15-30k miles ;

(One can only hope)

If we get the same winter condition this year ( I bet my battery will crap out )
