Why is my DSC not working on my BMW?
If the module doesn’t respond, it is possible that the ABS module is faulty, or you have a generic scanner that can not read ABS codes. Try unplugging the wire harness from the ABS module and reconnecting it. Here is a list of typical BMW problems that can trigger the DSC / ABS/ Brake lights.
What are the symptoms of a bad ABS control module?
1. Unresponsive brake pedal. In certain cases, depending on the model of vehicle, when the ABS module fails, the brake pedal may become unresponsive. This is an obvious problem, as an unresponsive brake pedal will not stop a vehicle, or will not be able to do so in an adequately safe manner.
Why does my DSC light keep coming on?
The wheel speed sensor (or ABS wheel sensor) is one of the most common problems causing the DSC light to come on. These sensors fail due to water damage, dirt, or metallic particles collected on the sensor’s magnetic part. It would be best to replace the wheel speed sensor without first confirming it is the culprit.
What causes the ABS light on the dashboard?
The ABS light on your dashboard can be triggered by any of a wide variety of problems with your brakes, ranging from serious mechanical problems to simple sensor or fuse issues.
What causes a fault on the DSC system?
Common fault for DSC errors is a fault on the ABS sensors. The front ones are usually the problem and it is the loom rather than the sensor. Check for wear/damage to the loom. Can often trigger on full lock as this stretches the cable most

Why is my ABS sensor not working properly?
If you replaced the wheel speed sensor and are still getting the same error related to wheel speed sensor failure, the wires to the sensor may be damaged, or the ABS Control unit is the problem. One way to confirm that the sensor itself is the problem and not the wires or the ABS module is to read the codes.
