Problem with a sencor

Post by Silverfox58 » Mon Sep 11, 2017 10:46 am

Hi all
I changed  my top and bottom  arms and a wheel bearing on my 30d  e53  but now I have the brake light on abs and the tyre light
On, it go's out once you start but as soon as you drive it's back on >:(
Now my question  is could  this be the sensor on the side off the hub , maybe needs cleaning????
Or do I need to reset it

Level sensor still connected?  Tried full lock - to - lock and back check to recalibrate the sensor?

Someone on here had the same problem on here a few weeks / months ago. They had replace several suspension / track rod ends. Turned out to be the tracking needed doing after the new parts.
Maybe not your problem, but just wanted to highlight it.
Is your steering wheel dead ahead.?
