    07 E60 Help

    Alright I've been fighting this problem for a few months and its driving me nuts.

    TL;DR up front: I swapped my shocks and can't get rid of the trifecta and it keeps getting worse. Started as just ABS sensors and has progressed to pump failure, speed sensors, wheel direction, angle sensor and IBS sensor.

    Now for the long part, A few months ago I had to adjust my height and replaced my shocks because I was rubbing on a speed bump I had to go over regularly. After changing them and the wheel bearings I started getting the trifecta. First thing I did was the angle sensor but it wouldn't clear, so I moved on to the ABS sensors to no avail, after changing the sensors I was also getting an air gap error so I am not sure if I did something wrong or its a bigger problem. Now I am at a loss. From starting the car this is the breakdown of whats going on so if someone has some insight I would greatly appreciate the help.
    1) Start the car, no errors or lights on, steering and brakes feel normal.
    2) Reverse out of the driveway still no problems.
    3) Drive about 100 feet (30 meters) and the lights come on with a ding and the ABS and Control messages on the center display
    4) For whatever reason immediately after the ding and lights come on the volume on the radio gets louder then when the car was first started (I haven't gotten to troubleshooting this)
    5) The Circle ! light turns from yellow to red after another 100 feet
    6) I am able to drive the car fine but the steering and brakes feel a lot stiffer
    7) I can clear the faults by doing the following: Brake Bleed, Steering Angle, CAS reset

    These are the codes I am getting on all of the menus in my Fox reader:
    A0AC
    2C9D*
    2E8E*
    CD98
    CD99
    CD9D
    CDA1
    CDA5
    4F8D
    5014
    5EBA
    9501*
    C994
    C99B
    E0D4
    E0D7
    E714
    E71C
    A3B2

    93B2
    93D0
    93FB
    9408
    93BC
    93BD
    *Persist through code clearing

    Any chance your spare tire well is full of water and your problem is due to shorted electronics from leaking sunroof drains rather than the shock or wheel bearing replacement you did?

    Another newish development, apparently both of the sensors are wired backwards, both front wheels say they are running in reverse when checking live data. I did replace both of them from the same vendor at the same time so it may be true. I am planning to strip on and rewire it to see if it changes direction of rotation

    Update: I have the IBS on order and ABS sensors for the front end, I got under the car and tried to do the air gap for the sensors, doing the passenger side cleared that fault code but doing the drivers side resulted in the car refusing to accelerate over 10 kph. I tried using different size washers to reduce the air gap to no avail so I pulled the washers entirely just to get it back to status quo. With no washers the warning light is now yellow again rather then red I'm assuming from the passenger side being air gapped but now none of the wheels are reporting a direction of rotation.
