qube 3568 Report post Posted February 27, 2020 Ive got the DSC and brake light error on my E39 and scanned the car which showed a wheel speed sensor fault. I replaced the sensor but problem persists. However, it is intermittent, usually comes on after a bit of driving and goes away after restarting the car usually. I have read that it could be a faulty ABS module - in which case can I replace it with a used part just swap right in or does it need coding? Alternatively, I also heard that I could get this part repaired - does anyone know where I can get this done and estimate cost? Or should I try another wheel speed sensor as the part I replaced it with was just pulled from a pick-a-part (used). Thanks! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1870 Report post Posted February 27, 2020 Try a new one. If issue persists replace with a new or repaired module. I can help get it coded to the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there is supposed to be someone in north shore Auckland but not sure.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or get the one off Brent Edited February 27, 2020 by B.M.W Ltd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1870 Report post Posted February 28, 2020 The modules go fast usually. Needs to match your car depending on if it had asc or dsc. My 01 530i wagon has asc where as the M5 has dsc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1042 Report post Posted March 2, 2020 Swap wheel speed sensor left to right, fault follows, faulty sensor. Fault stays the same, like ABS module fault 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
