E46 DSC Fault

[3er]

The dreaded DSC fault showing up. The car is barely 4 years old, mileage just passed 50k kms only and never tracked. The fault is intermittent but its recorded in the OBD. The 3 warning lights lights up simultaneously (DSC, ABS and Brakes) and there will be a beep from the dash. Oh man, this is gonna cost....Anyone else had this before?

i got it, well, i just ignore it.....

leakwoon & redearth changed the seat belt tensioners to solve the problem....if i remember correctly. a few hundred bucks...

Seat belt pretensioners? Hm. Worth taking a look at that first before i change the DSC/ABS module. Oh yes, the GT2 reads it as a DSC/ABS fault.

Are your DSC and ABS working? If my fault lights up (which is every few days), my DSC and ABS dont work. I know cos i can get my tail out easily and get all sideways while the revs climb till traction regains. (Quite fun actually and it reminds me what 50/50 and RWD is all about but i digress). If the DSC is working, the throttle cuts abruptly, brakes get applied and the car steps back in line quite quickly. You gotta love technology....

Its not resolved yet. This week my DSC fault didnt light up at all. Its been behaving well. Pushing the car a little i know my ABS and DSC still works (while the fault is not lit). But i wont say the problem is gone. Its maybe waiting for a rainy day to surprise me. Enquiries tell me that a replacement is in the range of RM3-5k. Ouch...
