    11 E70 X5- VTG error

    Hey everyone.I have a 2011 x5 e70. I recently used ista+ to clear fault codes for waterpump. When I cleared it I got back VTG error codes and EMF. I had ABS lights, brake, 4x4, traction came on. I posted some pics if anyone can help me with it. I let the car sleep and all the lights came off but when I rescanned it VTG no communication was still there just not Red anymore. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure exactly what your problem is, but from my understanding it's that your 4x4, abs, traction... systems aren't "ready" after you cleared them?

    Whenever I disconnect and reconnect the battery in the X5, the 4x4, abs, traction control lights come on, and I just turn the steering wheel from lock to lock a few times and I'd imagine that lets the system check itself, and then the lights go off.

    Perhaps just clearing the lights without letting the car check itself is the issue.

    ( I did this after replacing the water pump and thermostat) I really don't see how you could actually cause a real issue with the 4x4, abs, traction control systems while doing that job.
