2 dash lights glowing yellow

[B328iC]

I have a question. The other day I went on a spirited drive with some friends. Parked the car for awhile and then started to drive home. The "brake and the DSC lights both came on and were yellow. After stopping and restarting a couple of times the lights went away. Any ideas as to why those 2 came on but then went away?

Full disclosure—I am not a mechanic. There are other forum members WAY smarter than me . But...mine did the same thing. It went off and on a few starts and then stayed on permanently. Ended up being the dreaded DSC module failure. Was able to mitigate the cost by sending the module for a rebuild through ModuleMaster. Highly recommend that route if this ends up being your problem. But first you should probably check to see if the speed sensors are dirty, check your brake components, adjustment sensors (steering angle sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, pressure sensor) to rule out the DSC module. Hopefully this helps.

The car is a 2003. I did pull some codes from it I got 3 from the DSC, 5E20, 5E24 & 5E5C
In addition to those I got 4 from the EPS. 61 1B, 61 1E, 61 27, 61 28.
The DSC did deal with pressure sensors and the EPS were steering angle & vehicle speed.
I wish I understood the Foxwell 530 better as supposedly I can test things with the car on and driving it. Haven't figured out how that works yet.
Is it possible the speed sensors in the wheels just need cleaning?

+1 on ModuleMasters, if DSC module turns out to be your culprit. Mine acted up every time the rear end got frisky. I could reset the code but as soon as the module was asked to do anything the lights would come on again.

EDIT: I was getting codes 5DF0 and 5DF1. My code reader also showed me steering and speed sensor outputs so I knew those were okay.

So far all I have done is pull out and clean the wheel speed sensors. Front ones had a lot of metal filings on them but other than that were OK. Drove that car and everything seemed good.

yea if those sensors get dirty they will tell the system will go haywire

Yup, i actually bought new speed sensors.. mine might go any day now, so i figure ill replace it now. FCP Euro
