Chassis Stabilization: Drive moderately - Error message help!

[mig25]

2014 X5 35D
I raised the car to do transmission work, replace the filter/pan and ZF ATF oil. To access those 3 bolts on the back of the pan, I jacked up the transfer case about 1 inch.
After the job was done I was greeted with that message (Chassis Stabilization: Drive moderately)
Now I am not sure if I broke any plug or any connector from the transfer case motor. I tried resetting the system by using software but I was not successful.
Any insight? I had no issues at all before raising the truck to work on.
This is driving me nuts omg!
Thanks, folks

Any error codes from INPA or ISTA you could share?

This is the only error codes I was able to retrieve. I believe it could point to ABS speed sensors on the wheels.

Given those codes, I'd say that's a good place to start. If you can see live data from the wheel speed sensors you could narrow it down to which has a problem. Then it's a matter of determining whether the sensor failed or a wiring issue is to blame.

I have removed one of the sensors to clean it up. funny thing I though it was magnetic. I touched a little screw with it it does not grab it. Just a thought.

All the ones I am familiar with were very magnetic. But I haven't removed a wheel speed sensor since the e46 3 series and e53 X5 so things may have changed. EDIT: Turns out they have changed, found this on an X3 forum, WSS have changed from Hal effect apparently. He solved (same code as yours) by replacing the indicated WSS as he was unable to read the wave form being generated by the newer style sensor. INPA should show live data on the sensors though if you have access.

My wife's "new" 2015 35d just hit 85k and a trans service is coming up for that one. I'll have to have a look around and be careful as I planned on raising the Xfer case a tad as well. Maybe I'll lower the cross brace instead. I do have a small tool that I used on the E70 pan for those 3 bolts but I haven't been under it to look around yet as there are ~100 8mm fasteners to remove to take off all the bottom shields. So not sure on definite course of action yet.

Did you perform your trans service on a lift or jack stands?

I parked it on 4 ramps. Easy job except for those 3 bolts on the back of the pan.
By removing the cross member, you will need to support the xfer case on a jack and a piece of 2x4 anyway. You might as well lift it 1 inch, it is easier and a lot faster.

I fixed this issue YEAY!!!
The problem was ABS speed sensor. I changed both rear sensors. I did a reset by disconnecting the battery. Issue resolved. No more messages or warning lights.

Good deal.
