dsc and xdrive failure

Post by Jayx5 » Sun Aug 04, 2019 11:52 pm

hi guys
After a 5 hour slog back home through traffic from dorset to essex with the caravan yesterday I thought the car was running perfect until I popped to the shop tonight and this popped up

I drove it up the road and back, turned it off and back on and it disappeared after a quick look on here it could possibly be a steering angle sensor? does this sound right?
I'll pop into my mates place on Wednesday and get the codes read.

This could be a number of things with the steering angle sensor being one. No way of telling until you have codes read I am afraid.

Not to painful then,,,,but the controller is an arse...why they put it where they did baffles me....50 pence of extra wire could have placed it in an easier place.
