[Hafizzul]

Hi there,I need some help from gurus...My E46 325 year 2004 suddenly appear above mentioned alarm & the brake light indicator turns yellow. I have done:1. Press the DSC button once - nothing happen2. Press the button more than 15 seconds - nothing happenBoth lights will not appear during start-up, but after a while driving, both lights will pop-up.Any thing to do with my braking system such as pads, oil level or could it be something wrong with my speed sensor...any advice + recommended workshop (im in kemaman but KL's workshop also will do) + pricing...and such...Thanks in advance,,,

I have the exact same problem with yours.
My car's 03 325i.
Went for diagnostic test and found out was the steering sensor that's giving that warning light.

Had this problem last year.... DSC Control Module.
Like what Guru said... rm4k and this is common issue for E46... good luck bro...

If you open your car manual book, there should be a topic "tell tale lights".
It should have a short explanation about such problem when these lights are on.

hope is not the DSC control module mate.
even the fault in my car was caused by the steering sensor, i was quoted in a workshop at 1k to fix it.
till today, i still have not fix it...hehehe

get a GT1 Analyzer to read out the error code, you will have a better clue than guessing around.

1. DSC module faulty (worst case).
2. There is a steering sensor behind the dashboard that is linked and controlled by the DSC module. Then, this would be the steering sensor.

For now, try to turn your engine off, wait a few minutes and turn it back on. If the DSC and brake yellow lights are no longer appeared, this could be the was some false alarm by the sensor. If this happen again after driving for a while, then you better get it checked. hope this helps.

In my case (it's a Z4 2005, brake system same as E46), it turned out to be one of the 2 brake pressure sensors. They are mounted on the brake pump servo body.

Was quoted closed to RM500.00 each by AB minus labour. It has to be replaced as a pair even though only one was faulty. Haven't got around to do it yet. In the meantime driving around with the 2 yellow lights on.

Plus point is the DSC, TC, and ASC are all out, and the power goes to the wheels uninterfered so you can invoke power slides at will..

mine fixed. Problems with the pressure sensor. 480 each x2 , labour 30, service charge 1.50. total : 991.00. So far so good.

had the same problem, both tell-tale signs lighted up in yellow after few meters driving. went to fix in ah meng's workshop, replaced steering sensors, cost rm1.1k. uncovered another problem with steering coupling when they opened up the steering part. another rm1.1k. this is overdue, last year was told by sapura auto that the coupling has some problem.
