Can this be the problem for the ASC too ?

Error nº40?

[millertimebmw]

@Nastrusnicu Hello,

Possibly, if the ABS doesn't work then the ASC can not use the brakes to stop the wheel spin.

good Luck!

my abs lifgt go on after i put my car in drive and go 10 feet ,it comes on abs brake lihgt and sircle warning lihgts, can some one help me ?is my abs unit pump gone or is a speed sensor? thanks

[millertimebmw]

@montenegro132

This is a wheel speed sensor on your car.

so my abs light is usually on, every once in awhile, it will stay off untill i drive a few miles but 99% of the time its constantly on. just recently ive been having problems with my cruise control, the cruise will either not work at all or it will work for a few seconds then slowly dog down, so....could my bad soilinoids be the cause of both???

[millertimebmw]

@paintdemon69

The cruise control should work with or without the ABS working. I don't think they would be related. Unless you had a bad brake switch.

Nice job. Thanks. I had a Bosch 5.4 unit fail recently. I ended up sending mine off to one of the professional outlets that repairs them. They turned it around in less than 48 hours for $160. This beat the heck out of $2600 for a new one (part only) or buying a used one that would probably fail in a similar fashion soon (vehicle is 11 yrs old) I was curious what the inside of the EBCU looked like and your video was helpful.

@esjayay by the way the cruise control is not working too.

Hello,

I have a BMW 545i SE. The ABS light, Handbrake light, Traction control light stay on all the time. I spoke to the garage they say I may need a ABS module or a speed sensor. The steering wheel is perfectly aligned so I suspect it wont be the sensor anyway plus the 3 lights being on all the time. Is there anyway I could fix this myself?

[Nastrusnicu]

@millertimebmw it's error 39 asb pump I just ckech'it today. my pump is different insise

[spelunkerd]

When you disconnect the ABS pump, is there a special procedure for bleeding the brakes after ABS removal?

[andshiga]

The ABS light in my car turns off after startup as if it were ok, but when I actually put the ABS to work, it doesn't seem to work in one or more of the wheels, other times it doesn't seem to work at all with no typical vibration on the pedal, wheels simply lock. However I never get the ABS light on after it started up. Got any idea?
