ABS module removal question?

Post by Ooch » Fri Aug 22, 2014 8:00 am

Looking at worst case scenario on my x3 brake light warning lights...
http://www.ecutesting.com/catalogue/pro ... 16203.html

If getting the module repaired can it be removed with out having to mess with the hydraulics connected to the ABS pump?
I would not tackle this one myself if it involves bleeding of abs system.( after research seems like I need to send in both parts)

I have the common fault codes 5DF0 and 5DF1

After phoning bmw and and indy they will be charging £80/£50 to confirm what I already know.
Could those fault codes still be a abs sensor??
Will the main dealer diagnostic show up any more than those 2 fault codes? I doubt it.
I think I will get the module/pump to ECUtesting.

My understanding is you need to disconnect the hydraulics, so it will need bleeding.

I have taken the whole assembly out not too bad bit messy.
I am hoping that a pressure bleeder will get me bled enough to get car to bmw indy for a proper bleed..I hear software is needed??
