Brake,ABS, DSC lights on
 
I have a 2003 X5 with 30000 miles and the Brake, ABS, and DSC yellow lights came on. According to the Owners manual I am to take it to the dealer. I normally work on my own cars, and this is the first time I have had this issue and would like to know what it is and how to repair if at all possible, before taking it to the dealer. I will need to double check, but I think the foundation brakes such as the pads are OK as well as the brake fluild level. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

If you disconnected the battery, drive around the block and they'll go out.......Phil

Brake,ABS, DSC lights are all on, i suspect its the ABS module. That's one piece to check.

If you recently had a battery problem, you may just need a simple fault code reset. Check out my this link to a problem I had about a year ago:

Brake ABS lights on after changing brakes
 
I had the check brake linings message on. So I had my rotors, pads and front and rear sensors changed on my 2001 X5. How can I get the lights to reset? I have tried turning the wheel, disconnecting the battery, leaving the key in the on position. Nothing seems to work. Anyone have suggestions?

try rolling your steering wheel to the extreme left and to the extreme right...

Agreed with Muchi.....possible speed sensor or steering wheel sensor.

turn the key On do not start and leave on for 3 min. Then Turn it off.it will reset the light.(you good to go)

the proper answer is start car , turn wheel all the left , then all the way right and all the way to the left again and they should reset !!

or now that i think about it it maybe rt then left try both combo's , one will def work , i've done it myself !!

Its the steering sensor. i have the exact same problem. I had my pads, rotors replaced and then the error lights came on. The shop diagnosed it as the steering sensor...
