[Donavan]

My ABS light on my 95 e36 325i droptop stays on,does ne1 know how to take it out just until i fix it? .i need that light to dissapear coz im taking it for c.o.r . . . and well widout me goin to the agents that is:hammerhead:

might just need a reset in the ECU, could also be that one of your tyres is under inflated, just check all tyre pressures as a first measure

EDIT: pop in to Zeemax in paarden eiland, and speak to Zaid about it, he might even just plug it in and reset it for you

sharp rider i also think it just needs to be reset but just to do that at BMW agents will cost me an arm and a leg!

 

[freerider]

I'm telling you man, pop in at Zaid and tell him what its doing.... He has often just plugged my car in and reset stuff for me at no charge. There service is also tip top.

yeah i think myn is at that point were it stays on.i took it to bmw agents but they said that they wud need to check the continuity of circuit and thats a 3hour job at R495 an hour!.and thats without solving the problem

I have a problem where mine sometimes comes on. I can turn the car off and then back on and it will go away, so in my case it is probably a bit dirty.

I do however have and issue that my pad wear light is permenantly on. I changed all my pads about 3 months ago, and it started about 2 months ago.

They probably put the pad wear sensor back in incorrectly, or maybe the wire has sheared somewhere inside the wheel arch.

or they didnt put in a wear sensor @ all

:thinking:

I changed it all myself, I think I remember replacing the sensors

it only started like a month later, so you are right, it probably came loose or broke
