This is a great video - had the same error. Instructions were spot on. Special shout-out for calling the size of the T-27 bit. I didn't have one, but a quick run to the store, and I was able to complete everything in about 20 minutes. Dealer quoted $480 to change. Including the part and cool new set of T bits, I'm out less than $140.

Thanks for the guide, did it successfully last weekend. The hardest part was to get them out, where carefully hammering a screwdriver under it and then wiggle was the best method. No fault code reset needed, it worked straight away.

Thanks for doing this video. Was able to follow and replace the faulty sensor on my car. Much appreciated.

Is it necessary disconnect the battery before change in ABS sensor?. I plan to change my ABS sensor to another ABS sensor that has feature for Park Assist, which i want to retrofit/implement. Thanks.

nope

When the rear left is at fault was your speedo meter working?

[@philipolsen1658]

I’m having the same lights in the dash of My F11. But on Ista it just showed red on HSR, Can it though be the ABS sensor on one of the wheels?

[@besmarterhome]

My car has no fault code but the symptoms are:
1. Car vibrates at highway speed.
2. Sticky brakes, sounds like a rear caliper stuck however see point 3.
3. All problems dissappear for the trip if I pump the brakes a few times when stationary.
Do you think its an abs fault?

I'm sure you know that jack is intended for nothing more than quick tyre changes. It's too bad there isn't another lifting point to slip a jack stand under. Suppose the only safe way is to buy a rated hydraulic jack.

My traction light on my f30 keeps coming on when I go round gentle bends, hardly pushing it. This did start happening when I got 2 new rear tires fitted. Since travel over 1000 miles on them and issue still occurs. Could this be a sensor on its way out or just rubbish tires ?

[@MrStrengthz]

same problem for me, but had alloys resprayed then it started, showing low pressures also! mostly for left rear, had two new rear tyres as nail in one :( and still the same issue, but into bmw Friday so will get sorted then! f30 xdrive 320d

[@tehedx]

Had that too, but it went away. I suspect bad shocks, if that makes any sense. Did you ever find out?
