In this video I run through testing other systems that can affect others and mask the cause of the symptom. This was a 1998 BMW 528i that the transmission would not shift past certain gears.
Very, very interesting! Did BMW make changes in later model years where speed sensor issues no longer affected transmission shifting? I’ve never heard of a car where the speed sensors were tied in to the TCM. I learned something new today. Thanks, Sadel!
My master, good work. My 528i vehicle shifts to 1st and 2nd gear in S mode, but I have to shift the gear to D for it to engage 3-4-5. When starting from D mode, sometimes it starts from 1st gear, sometimes it starts from 2nd, but for 3-4-5 I definitely have to change the gear position to S/D. My mileage meter is not working, there is an ABS fault, I am tired of this situation. If the gear is 3-4-5, there will be a thud when you accelerate, but when you drive gently, there is no knock. Also, in 3-4-5 gears, the car does not move, it screams, the revs go down, it goes up, the car is talking nonsense. I hope you can give me an answer, thank you.
Hey I have a 97 528i, my abs and asc lights are on, I replaced all 4 wheel speed sensors and the transmission output shaft speed sensor witch is the part I actually had a trouble code for, but now the code is gone so I assume the problem is fixed but the abs/asc lights are still on. And my car won’t move at all like it won’t even go into gear, is the Abs module behind the glove box you think? Or do I need a new transmission? Or differential? I have been struggling with this for way too long now!
I have a very simple scanner and only reads engine codes.. What type of scanner should be used to read wheel speed on a E39 like this one? I have the same problems plus airbag light, when its wet speedometer stops reading speed, ASC and ABS lights are on.
wow! the 2000 528 i just diagnosed has a different abs design, its connected to the abs unit. i had basically the same code (code 20) and a few others but i couldn't find anything on any of those while using my thinktool pros so i switched to my snap on verus and had totally different codes!!! any ways this system didn't disturb the transmission, i believe i spoke with you about this one... this vehicle has a bad module and the sensors and the precharge pump tested good...opened up the module and found bad bonding strips for the pump and the sensor... customer declined any further repairs and was fine with having the lights still on
Great Case study Thanks!

I have the same problem any idea what to do
Pretty rare occurrence in my experience to see a module stop receiving a wheel speed signal. Nice trouble shooting!

👍👍👍
Part number ?
Like my car won’t even go into gear at all, it won’t move, I can’t even hear the transmission even trying to shift into drive!

I have the same car an the same problem

Nissan is bad for that as well
