Hi guys, have got a E46 330 ci on a 05 plate. Had new discs and callipers /pads on the front and new pads on the rear. Now i have the problem of (after a month) DSC,Handbrake (in red) , ABS and tyre pressure low, all coming on and only go out when i switch off the engine . They then reset and if i go round a corner (turning left) or accelerater, oops they come on. Oh with a beep. Have sourced out the codes 5E21,5E5C,5DC1. Checked with my local garage and he said it needs a new ABS Control unit. No mention of Wheel speed sensor. .so just want to check out more info before parting with to much cash..thanks.

There is a sensor in the steering wheel also, it could be that.

There is 5 sensors you need to look at, i.e each wheel abs sensor (maybe just a remove and clean with alcohol will sort them out), and then the 5th sensor which is located behind your steering wheel. For which you will need to remove the steering wheel, airbag and get to the disc. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=917397

Maybe just give this a clean with alcohol too and see if the problem doesnt go away. Maybe you lucky. Just note it is a saturday work, trust me, I did it.

Your local garage is about to rip you off. Sounds like steering angle sensor needs to be reset before you proceed to replacing parts. Its done via diagnostics.
