Dsc fault help please - Lateral acceleration sensor

[jamie_z4]

Car has the Traction circle, yellow handbrake and yellow tyre pressure light on dash.

Code com back as no signal from lateral acceleration sensor in INPA.

Been doing some extensive research into these parts as they're a £500 dealer part!

First question (I think I already know) are they plug & play or do they need coding?

Also, the part number 34526759412 reveals a few victims on eBay, ranging from 30 to 100 quid, am I ok to just buy any of these from an e46 as that's what most of them are from? They seem to be quite plentiful as the Same sensor appears t be used a across most models.

Thanks in advance for any help, it's the one under the passenger seat the module by the way,

Jamie

first try disconnecting the battery for 30 mins to see if it will reset. might save you having to buy one.

Best way to clear error is via DIS v57 software

It cleared via INPA just fine
