Thanks Bro... I went to a BMW dealer for 2 hours with my 520d G31. The diagnostician could not find the problem. Finally, I plugged an OBDLink MX+ into my OBD socket, the error code C050D appeared (Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Range/Performance). So I replaced this sensor following your tutorial and everything is OK. Thank you so much !
Giuseppe! That’s an awesome story and thank you for sharing this to the comments. I’m glad to hear you were able to fix it yourself. It’s sad the dealer couldn’t figure it out.
Thanks for reaching out! Good point, replacing both is what should be done in case the other is on the way out too. Glad to hear you replaced it yourself with out the dealership tax lol.
I'm glad to hear this helped you out and it makes the effort to post worth the while. Hopefully this continues to help others in this situation and also should save many people a decent chunk of money. Thanks for watching!
my F30 340i intermittently throws this code…i haven’t looked into it much as the code has been gone for a while now…but after watching this, i’m going to to just clean the sensors and pray it never comes back 😂.. thanks for making this vid
That's awesome you stumbled across this video! Yes, this code can come and go as the sensor may have dirt causing intermittent faulty readings. Cleaning is a good first step before purchasing sensors as it may fix your issue without having to spend any money. Let me know if you ever run into the issue again after cleaning.
Very informative video, thank you! I have codes p15dc and p15c8 which is a rear left wheel speed fault. I changed the sensor but still no change in codes and have chassis restriction. Could it be a new faulty sensor? Also what codes popped up for you when plugging in the code reader?
Thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delay. This was not something I put on the scanner to read codes and I just took a gamble on changing out the right one since I had a 50/50 shot at getting the right one. It could be a faulty sensor, but it would be rare that your new sensor is faulty.
Happy new year video I have the same fault as my E 9335. Did you leave out how we need a diagnostic tool to find out which wheel sensor is bad at all for? That’s the only reason I think I’m just taking to the dealer to take care of.
No I explain (probably wasnt too clear because I ramble so much lol) that you don't need an expensive diagnostic tool because there are only two sensors, so by picking one of the two and replacing it gives you a 50% chance of getting the one that was faulty and the error will go away. If not, you simply just need to swap it over to the other side. If you pick right the first time you will not have to swap it. This way you don't have to purchase an expensive tool.
Hi, great info video:) I just find it. I have problem with my bmw x3 xdrive and DSC controll lamp. question; is it the same system on a x drive system with the sensors?
Lol, The way yours came up is exactly how mine did on my F10, but luckily it went after I parked the car. I diagnosed it with my scan tool and showed no codes. I am sure it's also about to fail. Thanks for the heads up though
Hi thx for your help from your video. I have a 2015 M4 chassis stabilization warning came on what’s the exact link that you went with? Was it the $75 or $135? Thank you Rob
I apologize for the delay in response. I went with the cheaper $75 ATE part since I've learned they are the ones who manufacture for BMW and they just brand the packaging with BMW for them. So save some money and go with the cheaper one. I put the other link in case others really felt the need to buy the "OEM" one lol.
Oh thats awesome it tells you which wheel! The ATE is holding up great a year later. From what I read is ATE manufactures the OEM sensors as well...the OEM one's just get branded with bmw and sold for more $$$.
I’m having the same issue. 😮.. would you all purchase another BMW ( in the future ) I had 5 so far. NEVER again! My experience with BMW is like being in an abusive relationship with a narcissist
I’m having a similar problem, I have a right brake lamp malfunction that pops up and then goes away after a few moments, then I crank my car and I get the abs light, brake light, and chassis control light, all go on. People have said that it could’ve been because I went through a car wash but idk. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, I think I have a problem with the abs modules, no errors or lights come on, the symptom is and when I turn on the windshield above 120kmh it stops, losing around 20kmh, could it really be the abs module? When I deactivate drybranking through coding it doesn't help me but I feel the car is a little stuck at the speed level, thanks for the answer, hugs from Portugal
Hey Tiago! Your symptoms sound like they are different from what I encountered, so I would say it's something else causing your issue. Have you resolved it yet?
@@Awesomoto Hello, yes friend, after a lot of research and no errors after updating the software on the whole car it remained the same, I remembered doing the test in progress with the ABS module turned off and it generated errors but none of what was expected I risked buying the abs module, I programmed it, it was resolved And that's when the errors generated, they were all resolved after 1 month 😅
@@Awesomoto yes and I thought it was the software or the reprogramming but in the end it was the module and nothing was wrong, only when it reached speeds above 100kmh the windshield wiper blades turned on, the car lost speed by 20kmh and it didn't warn the brakes on the rear light apparently and I called the I still deactivated draybraking but the car seemed to be stuck while moving, but it was really the module, thankfully the headache has gone away and even though I would brake on a descent and the car would stay stuck for 3 seconds and then move
Great question and I’m glad you stumbled across this video. Yes, you can still drive it, but you won’t have traction control on so just be careful of driving in rain or any slippery surfaces until you get it fixed.
Hmmm, that’s odd. Are you getting the same drivetrain error? If not, I’d say it’s likely something else. Sometimes a rock can get wedge between the brake dust shield and the rotor and can cause a strange noise. That’s easy enough to check/fix at home without going to the dealer.
That might be the start of it or potentially just a dirty sensor. If it comes back, then you'll know what to do from this video. Let me know if you have questions if it does happen to you. Thanks for watching and reaching out!
I’ve had this issue with my f30 330 xdrive for a little while now, it would come on intermittently, triggered mostly when I would turn the wheel to the left. Recently, It’s been coming on more frequently and staying on. I think the wheel speed sensor may have been damaged and I’ve even experienced some slippage/stability issues in bad weather. finally have a service appointment coming up so I’ll be sure to share my results and hopefully shed some more light on this issue.
@@Brettstrash confirmed that this issue is caused by one or multiple bad wheel speed sensors. It’s a pretty easy fix and if you have the ability to DIY then it’s totally worth it. Exactly like my man explains in the video.
Kindly Note, if you have an Xdrive BMW it’ll have one on all wheels. I’m having the issue right now on my 2012 X6 35i .It Showed up after doing my VCG. Unrelated I know, somehow it decided to have this issue along with DSC and steering angle. Hopefully swapping them out will remove many of these faults.
Great point! I hadn't considered an Xdrive scenario. In that case picking out the faulty sensor will be more work (unless you get lucky). Thank you for commenting!
If you can find a cheap mechanic willing to do this for $300 then totally go that route. I've just heard much higher quotes ($800-1200) from others on this simple job.
I so appreciate you for this... i saw this error message today, and the only thing I saw was $$$$ signs .. then i calmed down and went to youtube, and there you were .. thank you thank you thank you ... save me some $$$$
i got the same error today. bmw has been nothing but problem. i will never ever ever ever buy a bmw again. they make the worst cars on the planet by far !!!! i'd rather get some chinese car instread of bmw

Hopefully it was the same issue and you were able to fix it!
Thanks! Subscribed.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Nice…I’m going thru this right now it’s at the shop!
Oh no! Hopefully they don't charge you too much. I'm curious to know how much they end up charging if you are willing to share.
$500 for a $50 fix I bet

Having same prob on x3. Just ordered all four sensors.

Yes, I think the only difference is that you have 4 sensors instead of two.

when that thing turned on i was so scared because even my check engine light turned on and i was like "well... this looks expensive"
LOL same here! I was so worried it would be expensive, but I was happy to create this video showing how easy and affordable this is to fix.
I have the Foxwell NT510 code reader and it does let me know its the left rear sensor. How's the ATE part holding up a year later?

LOL They certainly make you feel like you're in an abusive relationship sometimes. I feel the M line is more reliable than the non M BMWs.

Did u go thru an automatic touchless wash or one of those rotating ribbon ones?
I'm not sure if it was caused by a card wash, but it sounds like the lamp might need replaced.

How do you know which side/wheels the bad sensor is on
It's a 50/50 gamble, there are only two sensors.
It was trial and error. There are only two on this car and I picked one.
Did your alignment get wacky too?
No I didnt have any issues with alignment.

Wil this work for i3?
There’s a chance! I’m not familiar with them, but I wouldn’t put it past them to use the same sensor on all models. For the price, it’s worth a shot.
