Problems with the ABS/DSC system on BMW X5
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The BMW X5 is experiencing intermittent ABS and DSC light issues, with no fault codes retrievable using a diagnostic tool. Possible causes include wheel speed sensor problems or diagnostic tool incompatibility. Suggested solutions include using a BMW-specific diagnostic tool like INPA or ISTA and checking ABS module connections for loose or corroded contacts.

Start by checking the wheel speed sensors for dirt or damage, as they can cause intermittent ABS and DSC light issues. Clean them and ensure they are properly connected. If the problem persists, let me know for further guidance.
I did that a long time ago, that's not the reason, as I said according to carly there is not even ABS on the vehicle, can it not read it out at BMB?? as I said with other models it shows me abs that it is either ok or just error, not with the x5 e53

It's possible that the diagnostic tool you're using isn't fully compatible with your BMW X5's ABS system. Try using a BMW-specific diagnostic tool or software like INPA or ISTA, which are designed to communicate with BMW systems more effectively. If you still can't retrieve any codes, it might be worth checking the ABS module connections for any loose or corroded contacts. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!
