I recently found these shafts online, very reasonable priced. I bought any shafts I got from local parts supplier at a higher cost.
In this video I show a step by step guide on ABS, DSC traction control fault in a BMW 320d E90. Vehicle was loosing power at times and then suddenly dropped off before putting on these lights.
It was recorded on different days, Day 1 was test drive and day 2 was further investigation in the workshop.
I hope you found this video useful, please like, share & subscribe.

Gerard Burke hey so I got a DSC, DBC and start off assist malfunction and my steering wheel is not straight when I drive. Could alignment be the problem?
Gerard Burke is there a way I can call to ask just a question?
@@serg4603 Call a workshop stoopid
Thanks for video really helped me prove that my mechanic is a dick!
Haven’t looked at the next video yet.. I’m assuming that the relucter ring was deformed/corroded. Got some really great tips and help from your channel. Thank you for sharing your experience with us all.
Many thanks. This problem cropped up after an insane rains storm and flooded roads and so suspected some sensor issue but this clears it up wonderfully. I will be checking tomorrow.
I had this same issue on on 2005 X5. I took all 4 sensors off the wheels, cleaned them and the contacts. Put everything back together and everything cleared.
Just got these lights on my e90 320d will be checking this thanks great video
This is the 2nd time you’ve helped me
Thankyou Gerard, I was wondering if that was my problem had a simple solution.
Well explained and good video showing the process- excellent
Great advice my car as just started to show these warning 3 series
Thanks. I'll try this this weekend
Fantastic help now I can try to sort out car. What if speeds aren't affected?
I have the same fault on the petrol version. Going to check all soon thank you..
Excellent video sir. Helped me with my issue. Your a legend mate. All the best. 😎
Thanks very much 👌
Great video,extremely helpful.Many many thanks,its given me a good heads up.
Hi bro, I have the same problem too, I clean the ring like you do and the abs light still come on, I think I’m going to install a new abs sensor, my old one has many scratches as you show in your video
Awesome video, Thank u very much✊👌👍
Did you have to clear the codes in order for the lights to go out? As my taction control and handbrake light are on permanently..
How did you know to look at the right rear wheel? I did not see that specified in the error codes you displayed.
I got the same lights on and when I’m at a stop and like go and like the tires slightly lock or something
Swollen abs sensor maybe fit washer and lift up 3mm
So no need to change the ring, just the sensor in this case?
How did u know that its right-hand rear wheel? It not written anywhere...
I have a 2007 BMW e90 320 I touring, I have recently changed a wheel bearing on the passengers rear and now I have the same three lights, where is the speed sensor located please
I have a 2004 Z4 3.0i and I have the yellow brake light and the stability control light, but no ABS light on. DO you have anything on that?
Could the sensor ring be slightly lifted due to rust? My mechanic suggested I changed the half shaft….seems a bit excessive???!!!
Hi I had a look at mine but I only have one sensor underneath the dirt protector there’s 2 spaces but only one sensor it’s a grey one I unplugged it an started my car an it’s threw up an abs an a traction control warning light on any ideas?
Thanks dude, this problem almost cost me a fuck load of monney. But thanks to You i am fixing IT myself ;) be great 😁
I have a problem with my lights, i have no low or high beam ligts, what could be the problem
I'm with you on this! Fixing mine myself tomorrow morning!
Havin this problem with my 2008 bmw 328i, looking forward to doing this pretty soon, then sell it!
what would a mechanic charge to do this, i have the same problem on a e92 at the mo
Do you know anything about active steering malfunction, DBC malfunction, Driver control system for an e60?
I have i bmw x5 e70 with this ome problem so which side of the tires has this sensor
Another great video thanks!
Thank you
great video thx! any link to buy an affordable BMW scanner??? as mine (which is great on other car brands) does not read the bmw ABS trouble codes :( , thanks very much!
It's there any way of telling which of the 4 sensors is sending the bad signal?
I have same problem when abs errors comes my car loose the power after 1 or 2 minutes Is this same solution for this ???
How did you clean the ring ??
Why the my car bmw 325i 2007 suddenly off when I turn right faster Can you please tell me
Oh man just same things came up on my dash….😢😢😢. Any idea about cost? Please help
thanks i give this a shot. hope it works, better then buying the thing
Cheers Scotty
I have exactly the same lights on but my hand break light is red not amber???
If you have this problem is the dsc light on always. Or sometimes. If i drive like 15min after 15min the engine will stutter and the dsc light pops up
I have a 320d is al 4 are the same back and forth??
I ordered myCarly OBD2 reader and ima see what the faults are, I’ve been having a similar issue. And my local bmw experts quoted me £900 and said drive shafts need changing too 🤦🏻♂️ smh
How can you tell which side is the faulty one?
Thank you 👍
Great video sir...but how can I tell which side sensor is throwing this fault warning. I have the exact same fault indicator as yours, only difference is I drive a 2009 BMW 323i automatic
You got the answer bro ?
@Gerard Burke how you know which side ?
I like to see this as a sign to continue swinging the whip sideways 😭😂
Have u had a fault code no power supply?
I have same lights on the dash but keeps blowing a fuse 5A The fuse blows as soon as I replace it
Would this stop the car dead and not stop it running at all ? Went into the supermarket poring with rain came back out and refused to start at all ??? Help ?????
Hi Great video, I am currently buying a 520E Mprep origin 2005, the car as a dsc malfunction , can it be a big deal ???
Hello Oliver, I would suggest confirming the fault before the purchase and include it in the sale price. it may be as simple as a sensor but it can be as costly as an ABS pump, it needs to be checked out to be sure.
Thank you Gerard !!! I appreciate.
I got the same. These are the 3 faults, I will check the speed sensor. The left rare wheel didn't drive. So I got the ABS DTC and the other last one. But your video is awesome, thanks for tips
@Gerard Burke how you know which side ? thats what else i wanna know
Excelente video
Thanks Carlos
Hi after changing the bew abs sensor do you have to reset the light using the code reader or just drive for a few miles and it will reset by itself?
That’s what I want to know because I’m about to change my rear abs sensors in a couple days myself and I also have those 3 lights on. If it doesn’t reset on its own I’ll just borrow a friends own
Will it work to reset the abs light when we remove the negative of the battery. Leave it for 10mins then reconnect.? Thanks
Nope I've just tried this, left the battery unplugged overnight
Bro of no communication for abs module so what could it b .pls suggest ..bmw 325i .. And 320 no ECU communication .. any advice
Hi die you fix the problem because i have no communication with DSC abs .. let me know please
Older thread though have just experienced this problem on a very low mileage BMW. How can I determine which wheel sensor has caused the problem? Is there any on board dx that shows this or is there another way?
Take it for a drive and use a diagnostics tool like INPA to monitor the wheel speed at each corner. The one fluctuating alot is the troublesome one
I bought a Creator C310 Plus on Amazon. Very cheap and simple to use. It has paid for itself many times over.
Will this work for a 745 i
Pushing on the abs ring
Can you still drive it until I book it For new senior
Everything in your diagnostic looks good except for what wear that sensor against the reluctor ring from the cv shaft that for me probably you have a bad hub bearing…
Hi, nice video. I have this problem of DSC wich works during month and suddenly stop working for a certain time, ... Do you know if a OBD 2 ELM327 logiciel can find wich receptor is causing probleme (on a 330D E92)? Cordially
max hello max, torque just reads engine faults such as a misfire
Thanks mate
Cheers John.
Maybe a good wash will be beginning of fixing the issues
this is a good, informative clip
Dident u find out why it got messed
are you beside in Waterford?
I have an x3 for 3 years now, no fking problems at all, and this week a out of nowhere overnight for real overnight a Christmas tree in my dashboard, i currently change abs sensors and if it doesn't work,the transfer case little bullshit engine is next for dissection, if the gear is f up, then an new transfer case engine will be xD
Question: I have bmw e90 2006 Suddenly my car lights, ABS, airbag, wipers, engine and all other lights appear on. What can i do?
Same almost like mine bro 😪
Get a Toyota.🤭😂😂😂
Can my cars battery be the problem? Because I have replaced all sensors
Hi... my 1 series.....petrol 2005 .... i'll get the wheels tracked up straight and just pull fuses and worry this time next year when MOT time again 🙂 . I've thrown £100's at this thing ........... the garage is great though ... but 200 miles later ???? . Battery ran down and then the fun started ........ i swear it's posessed ..lol
Hey guys, wondering if you can offer some advise. I took my BMW 1 series to a garage as I had the DTC warning light. He did a diagnostic and then said he turned the light off. Went back a 2nd time and he said the Vanos Cams were the issue that came up so gave them a good clean and told me that should solve the issue. Still had issues so he said bring it in for a service. He serviced it and changed the spark plugs. Guess what still have the DTC warning light and the car is still pulling l. I'm now £400 down. He said he would do another diagnostic but I've lost confidence and don't know what to do for the best?
Hey, I have a weird issue with my e87 concerning these lights.They appear and disappear Randomly. On some days there is no light at all and on others all the time. Than it pops up when you drive 10 minutes. I tried to get it fixed but nobody has an answer. I have noticed that it does pop up more often while turning. Now comes the weirdest part: if you read out the codes there are no faults but the lights keep shining.What’s also important to mention I got no power loss the car steers shifts brakes ( and breaks) perfectly fine.the abs works even with the lights on. Only repercussion: if you set the blinker it doesn’t go off by itself anymore.
At this point I don’t know what to do. My friends tell me to scrap it but I don’t want to the car is perfectly fine except the lights
@@louis-hhr9479 don't scrap , my car does the same thing and it drives perfect and body looks good , a lot of problems with older bmw is corrosion with some sensor/wires it makes lights go on . Doesn't mean your car is broken
Do the lights go off automatically after fix or do you need a code reader
might need coder depends
i did that it says open circuit on the pa software after i replaced the abs speed sensor any ideas what open circuit means
If you have this issue and carry out the fix, do you need a diagnostic tool to remove the code or will it clear after a good drive?
Most times you have to clear and they Will not come back if its fixed corecctly
Hi Gerard, i have a similar issue, my traction control light comes on, the abs light, as well as the cruise control light come on... this happends alot if the outside/external temprature is hot/high causing the car to switch off, i have changed the sensors, cleaned the rings but the issue still occurs. once the faults kick in, the car refuses to start....until i let it cool down for about 2 hours or so
Was your problem sorted, I have the similar problem.
@@zamoblacktiger no i have not sorted it out, did you win eventually? please let me know if you won and resolved it
@@brightondube1512 mine does the same thing , did you figure it out ?
did you fix it ? mine car have same problem i dont know what problem is it (( help !!
That's not fixed the problem just delayed a big repair bill as the corrosion is on the drive shaft which pushes the ring outwards. This will continue until the new sensor is worn down again. The shaft needs to be replaced or refitted with a new reluctor ring which involves removal of all corrosion first. You going to give him a discount when is comes back with the same fault?
You're right. Another video was posted a month later to exactly address that issue. kzhead.info/sun/ZLSdnqqKhH-keIk/bejne.html. So the moral of the story is fix the root cause first, there was a reason the sensor failed the first time.
Would this cause the car to judder/loose power, and the abs light to flash?
Yes
I have same problem after this error my car loose the power.. Is this same problem ???
The same 3 yellow lights but a 5 min later also airbag error, window antitrap error and engine turned of and didnt start anymore. Looks like battery was weak but 1 hour later engine starts without any problem. Any ideas? Battery was replaced 12 minths ago.
same problem . did you fix ?
I sprayed some brake clean on the sensors and the warning went away.
This happened to my BMW right after replacing my front brakes 😭😭 please help
I get those lights intermittently, then it goes away on its own. any idea why is this??
I had the same issue on my car. Lights would come on intermittently then go away. Went on like for about 6 months and now all three lights stay on all the time. Hoping to get a scan tool soon so I can see what the cause of mine is. Were you able to diagnose and fix yours
@@andrewmytchak1247 I just bought 4 new abs sensors. I should have it in a couple days but I do believe it’s the worn out rear abs sensors for mine because when I check them 2 weeks ago they were pretty beat up so I’ll change them soon
@@jackden2245 I have the same problem, did you manage to fit the sensors and did it solve the problem?
Thank you for the video I have an e60 2004 I have problem with acceleration when I press the gas harder the car will move fast suddenly it will lose more than the half of the power and the engine sound will change anyone can feel it I have dsc fault code in idrive system but abs is alright do you think this sensor is the reason for my issue? Thank you
I have the same issue from time to time and it can be dangerous if you are on the highway overtaking.One quick solution is to turn DSC off, but that does not fix the problem. I am pretty sure it is the sensor being warned out
I have a same issue too, when you start the ignition rpm a bit hi then, then if you press the gas late response but if you press more the gas pedal the car move fast. I need to do is turn the ignition off then start the engine and you will notice it is back to normal.
Shit I have the same problem the other day I was on the highway and and all of a sudden the eml light, traction control light, and red brake light came on and it went into light a limp or safe mode,, it scared the shit out of me,, so I pulled over turned the car off let sit for a minute then turned back on and it drove fine,, I ordered the 2 front abs speed sencers hopefully that fixes it,,
Awesome 👏🏾
🙏🙏👌👌
What causes this ? Tho ?
where in ireland is your garage...?
It is in the description my man.
i got it...thank you burke...i think i will go to you...i will contact you thru facebook if that's cool with you...
No problem.
If you are looking to book in best to use the email in the description, out of office hours I only check on my youtube and with my email there is other staff members that check that.
It’s the rust on the drive shaft
Exacly needs to be cleand and put new ring
So my car lights turned on now when I turn and brake the pedal vibrates like it’s not grabbing the brakes what do u think it could be? Only when turning either direction the traction abs and brake light are on and the service engine soon bmw e90
Do your brakes work when pressing them as your pedal shakes?
But your engine light is unrelated to that, unless your car is shaking and you could feel it in your pedal, maybe missfiring, get scanned for codes first
Hi all, If I have the same lights apart from the ABS light ( so i have yellow e-brake and DSC lights ), might I have the same issue showed in the video?
I have the same problem, solved it yet?
@@oi-kc8iw hi there, in my case there is a fault with a pressure sensor on the abs unit / dsc module or whatever name it’s got. I will be sending it for repairs.
Same issue I replaced all 4 sensors and fitted 2 new driveshafts cleared codes but they just come back im done sick of the piece of crap
Thinking about selling this car always something with this 750 i
How much does something like this cost?
Same question from me. Nice instruction video.
I had no lack of power
How mate what's the cost to fix this issue ?
i had same problem, i bought new dolphi ABS sensors, for front and back. it cost me 60 euros. not a big deal for two high quality sensors.
I have the same problem, if all three light are on is any chance to be a front wheel sensor or only rear sensors are the issue?
BMWs are rear wheel drive. So it is usually rear wheel.
I've got a problem with my 2010 E91. Usually happens in wet weather so I think its the traction control sensor but im really not sure. The wheels spin in the wet, then on the idrive I get ABS failure, DBC failure and Tyre Pressure Monitor failure. Turn the car off for a few minutes and reset the tyre pressure all is good. Really annoying that I can't get the fault codes when I'm home because the car acts normal again!! Anyone got this issue?
Is one of the tire pressure sensors out?
Any broken brake lines or leaks?
A la verga BMW mucha tecnología pero es un dolor en el culo Fuck bmw to much technology but is pain in the ass nothing like my 69 nova simply fast take same place like other car
I've got an easier solution....... DON'T BUY THE HEAPS OF SHIT IN THE FIRST PLACE. Buy My Wreck = junk.
Ha ha :)
