ABS/DSC warning lights on BMW Z4 from 2010: Possible causes and solutions

Hey guys, I drive a 2010 BMW Z4 with a gasoline engine and just under 57,000 kilometers on the clock. Recently I've had a problem with my ABS/DSC system. Warning lights come on and I also have messages from a stored error. Could be something to do with the wheel speed sensor (ABS sensor). I had a bad experience with a garage some time ago, so I'm contacting you: Have any of you had similar problems and can tell me what I can expect when I take it to the garage? I would be grateful for any tips! Regards!

How do you find out which wheel sensor is at fault, rather than replacing all four.

You can use an OBD2 scanner to read the fault codes from your car's computer. This tool can help identify which wheel sensor is causing the problem. The fault code will usually indicate which wheel the problem is coming from (front/rear, left/right). After identifying the problematic sensor, you can replace just that one instead of all four. Please let us know how it goes.

What about you...I have f10... What do I have with Z4... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤮

Hello, if you have a similar or the same error code stored in your vehicle, you can of course also share your experiences here or provide your error description if you need help with your vehicle ;) Your Carly team

My 2006 BMW 325ci has been in storage for the summer in Florida. On starting, the DDC light comes on and won’t turn off. Also the service due reminder is on and also won’t turn off. The garage was humid and there were traces of mould on the seats. Car runs fine.

The DDC light could be due to a number of issues, such as a faulty sensor or a problem with the ABS system. As for the service due reminder, it's likely that your car is due for routine maintenance. However, the humidity and mold could potentially have caused some electrical issues. I would recommend starting with a thorough cleaning and drying of the interior, followed by a diagnostic scan to identify any fault codes. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Please...I don't have a z4.

These codes indicate issues with the wheel speed sensors on your E46. It could be a problem with the sensors themselves, the wiring, or the ABS control unit. I would recommend starting with a visual inspection of the sensors and their wiring for any obvious damage or corrosion. If everything looks good, you might need to have a mechanic perform a more thorough diagnostic. Please keep us updated on your progress.
