[QUOTE="shanbala, post: 738775, member: 86"] Started getting this error message on my E60 2 weeks ago. Researched the forum and Possible causes of the problem: [LIST][*]battery [*]alternator [*]IBS Sensor cable [*]any electrical component drawing high current [/LIST] Action taken: [LIST=1][*]Alternator - replace new 5 months ago [*]Battery - replaced new on Saturday 5th Dec 2015 [*]System reprogrammed after installing new battery (Din 100) [*]Wireman checked for any "current leak" - no leak detected [/LIST] Sadly, error message pops up every morning after car being idle overnight. No error message other times of the day when the car is started. Questions: [LIST=1][*]How do I check (before replacing) if the IBS needs to be replaced ?? [*]can I drive car normally without causing any/further damage to electrical components [/LIST] ( I understand from AB service advisor that should we replace our battery (original) at AB, they recommend that we also change the IBS cable) [/QUOTE]
