Possible Bad Wheel Speed Sensor

Delta0311 · 12-27-2016, 06:31 PM

I got the error Christmas tree pop up about two weeks ago.. When I shut down the car and started it back up they went away. I then scanned and cleared them with my BAV tool, they came back today like Merry Christmas bitch.
Cleared them again this AM and they have not came back, yet.. I'm thinking it's a bad wheel speed sensor based on the codes.. But would like some more input before I start ordering parts. I'm also putting some money on a possible wheel bearing going bad.

Codes are
32d3
32c9
55c3
55c6
5e34

This is in the 2011 E92 335xi

update whats the codes mean
pulled via bav cable
32d3: nothing listed
32c9: Poor road surface detection: no wheel speed signal received
55c3: VGSG all wheel notlaufregelung activated. no dxc index moment requirement
55c6: CAN message: wheel speed. CE
5e34: wheel speed sensor rear left. Air gap too large

Maybe try swapping the left and right rear sensors and see if you get any codes for the right, you might also notice some physical damage or obvious problem while swapping them.

Also make sure tire pressure is ok.

Thanks. I checked pressure and it was slightly off. I cleared the codes and I'm going to take it in next time they resurface, my extended warranty will cover it.

With BlueDriver OBD2 I'm getting:
P15B9 Wheel Speed Sensor Front/Right Circuit/Open

55C3 VGSG-all-wheel-Notlaufregelung <emergency running control> activated. No DXC index moment requirement

55C6 CAN MESSAGE GESCHWINDIGKEIT RAD <wheel speed>, CE

plus 2 Dynamic Stability control codes (assuming these are hex codes):
13E05E
A05E4C

Indy mechanic said RF axle has rusted/swelled such that reluctor ring (tone ring) on axle is damaged. Despite DIY videos showing how to replace ring only, 3 shops said to replace entire axle which comes with the new ring. Also will replace the speed sensor. Best quote $870+tax for axle, sensor and all labor.

Will update once work is done.
