    2003 E85 orange DSC and Brake light

    Has anyone seen this before? I’m not sure what the problem is, the car seems to be running fine. I tried a Bluetooth ODBII reader and no codes were thrown.

    You need a better scanner that can read the ABS module. Most Bluetooth scanners only talk to the engine DME.

    Suggest one of the following:
    - Foxwell NT520 with BMW software
    - INPA, cable and old laptop see https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...xperimentation

    Both will read and reset the ABS codes and a lot more.

    There is only one thing more pleasurable than working on a Z3, that's driving it top down on a fine day.

    I get the same lights on my 03, 2.5. I do have a Creador code reader for BMW. Mine will clear the fault but it comes back after driving. It says my brake pressure sensor 1 has a fault. I bought one of a car at the salvage for 3 dollars and plan on replacing it. It is the one closest to the front of the car , 5 minute job when I get around to it
