4x4/brake/dsc lights

Moce72 · 11-29-2019, 02:26 PM

Hi everyoneI'm tracking the infamous 4x4/brake/dsc lights on the dash. So far I changed the blown fuse, the driveshaft and the actuator, still lit up, is there anything else I can try. Big storm coming need my xdrive back, any help would be appreciated

I had those lights when my wheel speed sensor went bad. Do you have any codes?

Usually it's the gears inside the actuator that strip out. What's the car driving like? Were you able to run codes?

No codes, I'm planning on cleaning the speed sensors and then replacing them, I already changed the actuator first.

Car drives Beautiful, the awd system is working but the lights are still on which makes me think speed sensors also.

What code reader are you using? If the lights are on, there are definitely, 100% codes being thrown. Ar eyou using a generic reader or a bmw reader? Carly? Proool? Ista+?

How old is your battery? Low voltage throws all kinds of lights. I would try charging it first before you go replacing parts.
