Possible causes

LiamTutty · 11-11-2013, 03:56 PM

This evening my e90 pre-LCI 320d took a bit of a turn.

The stability control seems to kick in at anything over 2000 revs and cut the power. The light would flash constantly and shortly after this started, my handbrake and ABS light both came (and stayed) on.

I'm thinking best case scenario is maybe a faulty brake sensor and worst case scenario is a problem with the stability control.

Anybody have any experience of this issue or any suggestions?

Thanks,
Liam.

As above - you need to get the codes read. Could be something simple and cheap or more complex and expensive. Could be a failing battery, steering angle sensor, wheel speed/abs sensor or failed DSC/ABS unit.
