DSC off permantly
Hi a techy question for all you electronic control geeks I love you every last one!
I had this at the ring and Mat CSL Nuttbox cleared the codes ( I love you Mat very much but not in away ), I have listed them below. I have been happily motoring without a problem but it has come back and the two lights have come back on (DSC OFF light) is now on, along with the brake light (the one that is red when the hand brake is on but normally goes off when released - mine however goes orange. The only problem with this is the DSC is actually off and it's not just the light on on the dash. Fortunatly, when i was in the car, the weather was good - however it has been lashing down in between times. now I guess this is some kind of ABS switch problem so does anybody know what the codes refer to? CODES Pressure sensor 1 Pressure Sensor 2 Can Instrument |

Sounds to me like U have at least two ABS sensors down. When they fail the DSC is automatically disabled as it relays on the said sensors to relay info. I think it's time to pop down to BMW main steelers (if you have BMW warranty) or BMW Indy if you don't, to determine via their diagnostics exactly which two ABS sensors are inoperative and get them changed The car instrument fault code could be a faulty/dirty hand brake contact sensor or something in the display cluster but it's probably linked to the ABS sensors. Does anything change when U release/engage the handbrake ?

i had a similar problem - it's a sensor on the steering wheel column that will have come loose - mine actually stopped showing after i went over a pothole - large thump sorted it out...
