I can see the abs module setting off the 4x4 light, but how does that affect the running of the engine?

I had my ABS module reman for $200-$300 I believe. I will have to check who did it.
You can replace it yourself, just a few bolts. and a big plug. BTW, you can take it out and drive without it, just cover to protect the empty space. You will not have abs or dsc but it's summer and you should be ok.

The ABS could also be a coincidence. I don't see how that would cause stalling.

That's all? Any explanation? I sure wouldn't be spending $800 based on that. There is something more than an ABS module involved and if there is an electrical problem, the ABS fault code very well be the result of low voltage or something else other than the module.
To diagnose it, unplug the module and drive without it. That should take one variable out of the equation. I drove mine for more than a month like that until I got the module fixed.

they guaranteed that is the problem since the various modules cant communicate between them. Its BMW independent in Kirkland.The owner has 35 years of experience.
Anyway, they now said 1 year/unlimited miles warranty.
I told them im not spending one penny on top of that if the problem isnt fixed.They assured me that is it and should be done by the end of the day. Will keep you updated.

So its ABS module after all?

If its Bosch 5.7 although with a 4.8iS I think you have the Bosch 8.0, shouldn't be more than $250 for a rebuilt/repaired module.

I guess at $600 dealer price that is ok, if that includes labor thats even better.

I know new modules need to be coded to the car.

four.8is 09-23-2014 04:03 PM
yes RB 620$ includes the reman.Bosch unit and labor.Ill be picking it up around 4pm from the shop.
Tomorrow its install time for the N6 so I need all my electronics in order :D
