Thanks for the video and thank you for not playing any music! Ambient sounds are so much better than any annoying music.
Thanks for watching bro!
I took your recommendation on the Ebay Repair service and was very satisfied lights gone I got my 530i back no lights :) Great Videos
I have a 530 too...Were you able to drive the car without the module?
I wasted money replacing all 4 wheel sensors (on my 2003 530i, 229K miles). This video is very encouraging, and I will proceed (I have a 1987 325e, 285K miles to putz around in). I have noticed that the Trifecta is DEFINITELY heat-related, so when I saw a guy say he was going to have it rebuilt "again", I'm thinking placing some sort of heat shield between it and the exhaust manifold. THANKS!
Did this work for you? I was thinking of doing the same thing
mine only have the light on when the engine bay become hot
Do you have a new link for the ebay repair service?
This is the first time i see e39 without both front and back foglights. Thumb up for the name of the channel! :)
I have that problem right now on my bmw e38 750il I changed all the wheel sensors an still nothing the abs module is my next go to, great video !!
Did it get fixed
Wow you have such great access to that module, like it was served up on a platter. Try that job on a Mini Cooper! BTW the link to the ebay seller doesn't work anymore, any idea who they are?
Great video...I'm at 276,500 miles on my 540 M-Sport...never had this issue...knocking wood. ;)
Thanks David! Thats incredible, 276k keep up the great work.
David Handa was ur truck knocking when u cut it off
Can l grab that link please.@@BIMMERZEITT
I just bought a 2002 530i ...96,000 miles ...i have the "trifecta of lights"....watching ur video turned on the light on how to deal with this problem...thank u!

Anything needed or to avoid doing while removing and installing dsc? Of course not driving it or turning it on, but as far as disconnecting battery, prep work?
Thanks for the video! I DIY the soldering, what kind of adhesive are you using for replacing the plastic cover at the ECU?
eduki nice. I sent mine out for repair. But the company who does it looks like they just used a silicone adhesive to attach the cover
Because I was driving my car and the axle front right on my bmw e83 x3 had some shaft play. If you hold it and push and pull on the shaft in between the two boots/bushing things it would wiggle so I imagine I had to replace the whole assembly, I tried making it a few days untill I got paid to do this repair. Then driving it one day after I went to exit a driveway and I was only making a wider turn when the car almost stopped after a loud bang/pop then it felt as if the axle dislodged it’s self. My three lights came on and the car started running really really roughly and I drove it quite awhile with being unsure I got off of work the rest of the day came home put the car on a jack and removed the wheels to inspect. Nothing seemed as it had broken same condition as before but the car would barley make a uturn and turning just seemed like the axle was fighting the turning function. Well I took the wheels off the decided to put them back on and drive again and took it on two separate drives and then all the mentioned scary weird stuff going on previously had just been no longer exsisting. Does the module go out intermittently should I be expecting it to happen another time should I just get it rebuilt before driving it again?
Hi
Does the m5 e39 has abs relays
Thank you
Looks like the links no longer work to the ebay ABS Module Repair Service and the Amazon to the New ABS Module is not available. Do you have any other source for the repair service?
These BMW cars (5 Series) are beautiful was manufactured from 1995 to 2004
Hey hopefully you reply back :( I got this on my 2008 328i when I drive longer than 10 min it pops up I took it to the dealership and it worked fine for 2 days nothing popped up til today took it back in they said to either fix the bearings (which is a 50/50 chance it can be that) which is 1k to fix or This I think but they are charging 2,700 for it :/ can I take it to a mechanic instead ???
Congrats for your video, its great and very helpful.
im searching the service por a e46 323i 2000, and i dont have luck... i have the same problem. Do you know if the module for the 3 series can be repaired?
Its a common module try widening your search like bmw abs repair instead of e46 etc
My got the same your problem all lights go on ,. And speed dometer don’t work to my car is bmw 325i year 2001...thanks man I try to replace like you did maybe I hope it ok.,,,,,,
I have the trifecta lights with the Trans failsafe prog warning on dash. The thing is I just did an oil change yesterday and all of a sudden I get the trans fail safe prog warning along with the brake and abs light on dash. Trans was working fine no issues at all up until this oil change. I’m thinking the lube tech might have done something shady such as steal the trans connector underneath but other than that I think it may be the ABS module. Can you drive without the abs module? I’m looking to send it in for a rebuild through eBay
Gracias brother 🤟
Hey Thanks for the Video. My X3 abs braking comes on with very little pressure applied to brake pedal, especially when backing down my steep driveway. Yesterday I took out my abs sensors and cleaned them, what was strange, I did not see a reluctor ring down the hole.
I also have the trifecta of lights. ABS, 4x4 and brake. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Nick S hey Nick step 1: scan the car with bmw software of bmw specific tool like the creator c310 and get the fault codes
@@BIMMERZEITT Thx for the fast reply. I did check the codes with my cheap Actron scanner and got a P1774 code.=? Low coast brake solenoid valve is turned On or Off" by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the PNP switch, vehicle speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor (throttle position sensor) My scanner is far from a BMW scanner and the information I received from the internet could have been for a Nissan... But it kinda makes sense since the speed sensors are all connected to one module / computer or another. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Nick- PS What was a little weird, when I cleaned my sensors and looked down the hole to clean, I didn't see a reluctor ring, just somewhat smooth and dirty. bmw x3 e83 2007 130K miles. Thx....
Nick S did you manage to fix your problem
Hey Buddy, yeah I fixed it. First I bought a go Foxwell 510 BMW and had many codes. Transmission Transfer case, Zme electronics etc etc... The Whole problem was the Reluctor Rings Rear and the ABS Sensors. Changed some fluids did adaptations and vehicle runs Great! Was going to light it up but runs so good I even put new Michelins on it and can’t believe ABS rear sensors and ring would cause so many problems. By the way did the ring, didn’t change the Half Shafts and put new sensors right and left.
By the way the axles were rusted and the ring were pushing on the sensors. Also changed the bearings. Get the BMW tool for the bearings. BMW loves there press fits. Mark the axle to the wheel hub and put it back the same way. Clean the splines with a wire brush and some PB Blaster the use a little anti-seize. If you have a problem getting the axle in buy a 20.00 inner tie rod end remover and clamp it to the axle hammer on that nothing else, into the hub. You can buy the axle puller that screws on the outer threads of the axle but it’s expensive. When good luck to anyone doing the job, I Leant a lot...
I have the same problem but But my car is a 2000 BMW 328CI do you think they can to fix it
Did your speedometer work while the abs lights where on?
my 3 lights are on and my speedo has died
Trying to help a friend with his car. His abs was malfunction and got a replacement module as we determined that was the issue. New module in and all was good for a few months until dsc abs lights lit up again. DSC5.7 73DSC pressure sensor. Code B3450_57051. Any idee where to start. Could it be the replacement module acting up. Brake pedal feels soft in comparison to my e46
Is it necessary to look for the same code in the ABS electrical part as my car?


Hey Have a question that I couldn’t figure out so My tail light are not working at all just bought a new housing and not still Could you help me or anyone?
Rich where have you been man?
Been super busy with some other projects! But getting back into the flow here with this weather warming up. No heat in the garage unfortunately! Bought two E39's in December.
Hey bro I need help I have an x5 4.4 with 90 thousand miles on it ..it runs fine but abs is on and it said trans failsafe prog
BIMMER ZEIT hey bro
Nathan's DIY Garage
Were you able to drive the car without the module?
Hello! I hope you still have this account. I had same problem with all three lights on. I replaced abs module, only 1 of 3 lights is still on, dsc. what should I do? abs and braking works only dsc is always on now
i will have a goo at it i have a 540i v8 that has the same issue ..... looks very potencial !!!
What about on a 2002 X5, i doesn’t want to go then it gives me 4x4 inactive and gives me all these lights
Hey question, if my abs light turned on, then the brake light and then the cluster gauges stopped in addition, is that an indication of the abs module failing too? Like with the abs module failure, will my rpm gauge, temperature gauge and odometer quit too? Or is that a different problem?
NinjaPegasus300 yeah it’s possible... but haven’t heard of tach and temp failing at the same time. You have have something else going on. Step one, buy a creator c310 bmw scan tool for $56 ish and scan your car for codes. See what the abs computer has for codes, if any. Code reader: amzn.to/2GlGKvF
If the ABS module is bad will the cruise control still work? My cruise works but I have the "Trifecta" of lights.
Hey Kris, first step is to scan your car with a BMW specific code reader like this one: amzn.to/3s89bkc (affiliate link) which will allow you to begin diagnosis. Otherwise you're just driving blind. It could be as simple as a wheel speed/abs sensor at one corner causing the lights, but could also be an ABS module in need of rebuild. Yes cruise control can still work sometimes.
Nice!
Young G, respect
2001 BMW 740 DSC light, Abs light, brake light and cel p0500' speedometer works along with the cruise control. Help. Did you have ignition cuts or a random rough idle?
Difficult to diagnose with little info over the internet, but sounds like you have multiple things going on here Brian. It's possible to have a bad ABS module (you need to have the ABS specific codes read with scanner). If you have running issues it's not likely related to the other ABS issue, unless of course the car has had any water damage causing electrical havoc.
Rough idle more likely the cam sensors
Sunday, September 26, 2021: where can we send the abs module for repair? Can someone, anyone PLEEEEAAAASSE give us a solid answer, geez'!!
was the red brake light on even when the handbrake was not active ?
I had a module rebuilt by 2 different shops and when I hook it up I still have the trifecta
so far have replaced all ws sensors, brake pressure sensor, brake fluid reservoir cap, brake fluid, pads and sensors and STILL have the trifecta with red brake light
INPA says front left wheel speed sensor, front left outlet valve & front left inlet valve.
I have read every forum known to humanity and cannot solve this issue
any thoughts ?
Sorry to hear the trouble. The system is complex. I wouldn’t rule out a bad module. New is not cheap and must be coded to the car. It may be worth finding a competent indie bmw shop to diagnose. You need a guru who cares for this. Also not easy to find!
Good, how are you! I have a BMW 530D E39 YEAR 2002 in the diagnosis mark "code 00000E- description DSP Valve-relay fault". I do not know exactly what could be the problem, if you could help me I would appreciate it infinitely. Greetings from the center of South America PARAGUAY !!!!
When all three lights are on And without testing, is it always the ABS module? Or could it still be the sensors?
all 3 lights is usually the module. I would suggest buying a $50 scan tool to check and see what trouble code is stored in the car first. This is a good tool that I use the c310 amzn.to/2UXzWdl
Can we just disconnect the module and use the car? My antilock brakes are engaging on tar when I even lightly use the brakes. I need this car bad and a little scary driving
Did your brake peddle go all the way down and absolutely no braking on car do to the module. I have change my booster and master cylinder and I have no brakes at all still. Will the module do this to me
Ryan Granado Ryan it sounds like either you have air in your brake system or a broken brake line. The module does the electronic bits and the hardware does the mechanical elements. Did you bleed the brakes after the brake master install?
Is it common for the speedometer to go out when having the “trifecta” with an E39??
im having the same issue... did you ever get it resolved ?
But what’s the website so I can send my module to get repaired
Thanks for this. Two questions, the link for ebay repair site does not work. Any other suggestions? 2nd question - can I drive the car without the module while I send the module out for repair? Thank you
G Taylor Johnson I will update it in the morning, thanks for letting me know. Yes, technically you can drive the car, however I don’t recommend it because your speedometer will not function and ABS will not work. So if you were to get into an accident, I’m sure the insurance company would love to deny coverage due to the abs module being missing from the car. Not worth the risk if you ask me. But technically yes the car will run and drive without the module.
@@BIMMERZEITT Great. Thanks for that. Here's a link for a rebuild service I found. www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E39-E53-ABS-MODULE-REPAIR-SERVICE-525-528-530-540-X5-M-Warranty-Quality/323200458103
I bought a bmw e39 530d 2002 with both abs lights on. I have a code : 14 Valve relay fault. Do you think i need to repair my ABS module like you ?
I think the relay is bad you can change it. In the fuse box.
Did u fix it
@@terrencemayes469 I changed it
Where can send the module for repairs
Awesome vid and very informative; however, I cannot find a ABS module repair for part number 0265247000 on a 1997 e39. Would you by chance know of anyone that can repair this particular module? Thanks.
Widen your search, the module is a bosch 5.7 most likely. Search bmw abs module not so specific a search
Can that cause the trans safe mode to go on .
Im about to go look at a 2003 525i bmw and the guy mentioned the abs light was on and has been sitting for 2 years... The worst thing could be this right? I heard it may cost up to 2k to fix?
You could scan it while there and see what ABS code it is showing specifically. Not a big deal, nothing you can't DIY! See my e39 buying guide here before you go see the car: czcams.com/video/70zvnZdvEog/video.html
@@BIMMERZEITT I had mine fixed a couple years ago but now I have the same 3 error lights again. What do you suggest?
davedavis scan with a bmw tool like creator c310 get the abs code to begin diagnosis... even the rebuilt ones fail again after several years it could be the module again
@@BIMMERZEITT how many years ago and who replaced/rebuilt it?
Hey bro why in your dash it says engine service soon ?
Do you have a video about remove the abs module? Thank you!
Unplug it and take out the six bolts... Then apply for job at NASA because you are then officially a rocket scientist.
Hey how are you I have the same problem is there a link to the service area or where to send it for 4
Did u have to get it recoded or is it not necessary when getting it rebuilt?
Gabriel Zurita coding is not necessary when doing the rebuild, one of the main benefits to rebuilding. If you buy new $$ it’s very expensive and will also require a trip to the dealer to have it coded.
thank u great video
Do you have to have the module recoded? If I found one from a scrap, could I use it?
You can't just use a module from another car - YES it has to be coded. Your best bet is to get yours rebuilt for $93 and be on your way!
If yours cannot be repaired like mine however you can get a used one on eBay for about $150 and then have a shop reprogram it for you for about $100. $250 is still better than what the dealerships want even for a used one. You can drive the vehicle without the abs module, you just won't have abs brakes.
I have the trifecta. I notice you did not, but other video always warn about reprogram after swapping the ABS module. Is this true?
If you rebuild the one from your car, no need to program. If you replace it with one from another car or brand new, that requires programming.
@@BIMMERZEITT
Thanks for your very helpful response!
Four things. The abs on the wheel. Abs circuit cubes the motor control unit relay. Wheel Internal electronic rotor abs. And the abs block. This is a four thi things where you e38 e39 e53 #bmw ABS system.
Sweet!
just the DSC light came on recently, any suggestions?
victor alvarez,jr scan the car with a BMW specific code reader or inpa and pull a trouble code first to point you in the right direction!
So you can send your old ABS module to get it fixed or buy a brand new one?
You can do either. I would recommend sending it to the rebuild place first, which should fix the problem. In the event they can't repair it, you'll get your money back - then you can shell out $500+ for a new unit. If you DO need a brand new unit, it also has to be coded to the car either at the dealer or using BMW software. The best scenario considering time and money is just doing the rebuild.
@@BIMMERZEITT Are you able to drive it while it's out of the car being rebuilt? Obviously you wouldn't have traction or abs, which is fairly dangerous...
@@jjthesavage technically, yes, the car will still run and drive, the speedometer won't display your speed if I recall correctly. If you were to get in an accident because of lack of ABS computer/traction control might have some liability there - so in short- no I wouldn't drive it
@@BIMMERZEITT Thanks, I appreciate it!
Like button is smashed! Thanks!
Danny Boy cheers Danny!
Just got the trifecta on the way home from work today in my 2001 740iL. 🙁 Looks like I will be sending the ABS module out for repair. Again.
Ready72000 ugh!
BIMMER ZEIT Started the car this morning and the trifecta lights went out for about 15 seconds, then came back on. I drove it to work. Started the car this afternoon and no trifecta lights all the way home. Strange.
I just sent mine out, What is the turn around time like?
exactly where did you send yours for repair/rebuild? That seems to be the golden question...
Please send me the link this has to happen stat. Fn brilliant thanks!!! I just got a touring yesterday white w black interior. That tan is just classy as f lm sure lll deal tho.
Did you drive the car while module is being repaired?
Semih Yilmaz it’s not recommended. Your speedometer will not work, ABS will not work. I did not drive it.
I replaced all 4 wheeler sensors and had the ABS module rebuild two times and still have the same problem. any suggestions?
hi, it depends what bmw? the yaw sensor can cause the same lights to come up or if 4x4 the transfer case actuator.
Try your steering angle sensor
528 i change front wheel speed sensor, transfer case motor an still showing ABS,AWD,DSC an. EBV
Estou precisando do modulo e bomba do abs bmw 530i ano 2001
Did you need to code your module ?
Sex Hawk no coding is required if you have the original module from your car rebuilt. If for some reason yours can’t be rebuilt and you get one from another e39, yes it will need to be coded to your vin.
Where did you send the module for repair?

We're did you send yours to send me the link

weres the ebay guys info
Anyone knows of an 2005 X3 ABS module repair service? I cant seem to find anybody just for X5’s
Widen your search the module is not model specific, its a bosch. Search for bmw abs module repair
Hi what is the person on ebay
Merci
Can you tell me the eBay vendor?
Is it worth just deleting the ABS?
No! ABS helps the car stop faster in emergency braking situations.
Did you have to bleed your brakes first?
Paul Nelson hi Paul, no need to touch the brake hydraulic system. The module here doesn’t interact with fluid or hydraulics directly
BIMMER ZEIT I have a bmw 5 series, e39 520i. Year 2002. So bleeding the brake lines isn’t necessary, just unbolt the ABS module, send it off for repair, then simply bolt it back on! I wonder why my mechanic is telling me that the brake lines need bleeding! If I can do this, then it saves me going to the garage.
Paul Nelson might be unrelated. Flush brake fluid and bleed every 2 years anyway as part of maintenance. It couldn’t hurt. Shouldn’t cost much. An hour labor maybe
BIMMER ZEIT it’s my abs pump that is going to be repaired. Is that different from the abs module?
Paul Nelson oh ok, yes the module is the computer shown in my video. The pump is a different story yes that is part of the hydraulic system.
just had these lights come on at 118k miles... but they only come on after i've driven for 15 mins or so... at startup everything looks normal
davedavis Dave that is textbook abs module failure. The thermal joints in the board expand once warm and no longer have a good connection due to exhaust manifold heat - just look at where the module is located. The rebuild service repairs the soldering of the board. Of course, scan and see what ABS codes you have first before jumping right to a rebuild. But I’d bet it’s the module, you’re also at the Golden mileage they always seem to fail at 117-120k miles
Your video was helpful. I just hope they don't take too long in shipping it back to me. Can the car be driven without the module attached?
I believe I had mine back within a week. Yes it will still run and drive, but if I recall the speedometer may not work and it won't log mileage. You also won't have any ABS or DSC so I would recommend not driving the car while it's out. Not worth the risk to get into an accident, then the insurance company investigates and you're at fault because you had no ABS working. Maybe that's over the top. But it's not a risk I would take if you have assets to lose.
I swamped mine in my 2003 for a used one and now it stays on even with the faulty one
You can’t just swap them, they are coded to the vin number of each car. You may need bmw software like INPA or ISTA to re-code it
Don't swap it unless you're swapping with new. Better to repair yours first. If that doesn't work get a used one, repair that and recode that. Not sure the cost of a recode, dealership may prefer to do you a new one $$$
You never listed the name of the vendor. I need that info ASAP!!
There’s links posted everywhere
Nice work. Did you disconnect the battery before removing/installing the ABS module? By the way, BBA-Reman is now shut down worldwide, so forget about sending anything to them. The USA one is a mile from my house. It's likely they've been busted for shady business practices, and lots of people will never see their parts again.
I don’t recall if I did. It’s probably recommended to, but since the connector is unplugged anyway it shouldn’t be too big of a deal. Interesting, I haven’t heard that news. Any other rebuild sources?
dID YOU NEED TO CODE YOUR MODULE AFTER RECEIVING IT?
No. You don’t need to code it if you have the one from your car rebuilt. If you buy from another car (used) it needs to be coded.
@@BIMMERZEITT brill thank you
Great
Can you still drive the car with the module detached?
Yes
What happened to your car when this went bad?
Anything can happen. Like he said, with a handful of heat cycles, the module will burn out, causing the car to go into trans. failsafe prog. (Transmission fail safe program) if the ABS module is not "working properly".
I only have a mere 104k miles on my E53, but it is already going. The codes you might wanna be looking for are P0600, P0720 and P1747. If you wanna know how hot it gets under the hood, simply idling can get the intake up to 50-55c (120f+).
Also while in trans failsafe prog, the car will be set to idle at 700rpm and locked to 3rd gear. Hope this helps others with an E53. Please drive safe, especially on the highway/interstate because you will NOT be able to shift from 3rd gear.
Any symptoms while driving
Sam Dog not really other than the lights being on. However this means the ABS will not work in the event you need it to stop quickly and safely. So is advised to repair as soon as possible.
@@BIMMERZEITT I always drive with it off.....this time, the light wont turn off
Sam Dog oh you mean DSC light? Traction control? Yes sometimes it’s just a intermittent fault that will go away in a day or two on the e39. I’ve seen that on several e39’s. Other times with the abs and brake light it’s the beginning of abs module failure. Get the best bmw a can tool I recommend to scan and check for codes first to diagnose.
