  • I got a "Chassis Stabilization" and "Rear axle differential lock" errors in my check control and the car went into limp mode. This video shows the entire process of diagnosing the issue using ISTA+ and how to replace the wheel speed sensor (abs speed sensor) on the car to resolve the problem.

    Nice work, Aaron! Boxsters and Bimmers just seem to be a great combo, eh? Had a similar experience with the wheel speed sensor on my F30 and, WOW, those warning messages were terrifying when it happened, but was easily able to read the error codes and replace the sensor. Had to replace the other side sensor about a week later, so just FYI if you get that same issue again, they maybe come in pairs. Thanks!

    The very first step to take is the simplest, espe ially if you have mods rezulting in ypu not having a floorpan. If the car has the chassis stabalization issue, coupled with hard steering, there is a sensor that can often come loose. It is located right in the middle of the front wheel shaft directly behind where the radiator sits. It has a red and blue thick wire that leads into it. Rhis clip is super brittle, and can often be ome loose, triggering every chassis warning, and directly affecting the steering. Hopefully this helps somebody. Oh and you can reattach that clip with a zip tie if needs be.

    Incredibly useful video, same prob F22, did not have ISTA but Think Diag correctly pinpointed the exact same sensor issue. Problem is compounded by multiple related fault codes all caused by this sensor!! Other codes seem un-related. BMW should have on board DX that pin points the issue instead of their stern run to dealer message!!! $58 solution, dealer would likely have seen it as blank check...

      @@HelpMeDIY I might try putting a new sensor on. But I have since taken both wheels off and plugged in a current meter in series with the sensor. Both sides are reading 7mA, the sensor is meant to pulse between 7mA and 14mA when the wheel spins. Both sides would not move from 7mA when I waved a bit of metal over the sensor. As a bonus test I plugged the old sensor back in and performed the same test - all sensors are behaving in the same way. I am thinking it could be the GHAS module, which requires a tech to program it to the car (I'd like to do it myself but I don't want to buy an ICOM)
