BMW, ABS, DSC, Brake Warning Light, Problem 4x4, Battery Voltage Low, Loss of Time And Date
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2012
- This video shows and describes a common problem that occurs when a BMW battery voltage reaches a critical state. The ABS DSC Brake Warning Light and 4X4 warning light (if applicable) and on some BMW a loss of Time and Date can occur on a first start.
This video explains some reasons why this may occur.
What a great tip. These warning lights came on after my battery was disconnected and I was afraid I was in for some very costly repairs however after following the directions given in this video the warning lights went away and all was back to normal. Thank you
Hello Michael, Thank you for posting! I am glad you found my video helpful! Please subscribe :)
On my first try, looking on how to solve the problem of DTC & brake yellow light on dash, I found your post. My husband changed the battery that came with the car to a new and bigger battery, which worked better, we did not think that the other battery was the correct on. I was worried of the cost of taking it to have it service after the lights came on. We decided to look it up and found your video. I did what you suggested on turning the wheel all the way to the left, then right, and it worked.....I am very thankful for your post.
+Leana H Hello Leana, That is great! Thank you for taking the time to write such a great comment. I am glad my video helped.
I have same problem abs dsc 4x4 on, i changed all abs sensors rotors pads, turn left right still its on with new battery, 2009 bmw 528i xdrive, please help im ready to give the car away for free geting on my nerves
you made my day...thank you..l had ABS light on and couldn"t drive the car from this light. it came on after battery failure..after l watched your video and right , left steering..light is gone and l can drive the car now..yeeesssss thank youuu
That is great! Thanks for posting a comment!
Thank you! Thank you. Just changed the alternator in my 2003 BMW X5 and had the issue with the ABS and Brake light staying on... engine running rough and sometimes stalling. Couldn't figure out what the heck was the problem. Was thinking maybe I forgot to connect something. Watched your video and tried the staring wheel to the left and right thing and low and behold.... it worked. No more warning light and it now idles smoothly. Thanks again.
Sounds like battery voltage alright :) It would be worth doing a full charge when you can. This problem usually occurs at around 50% of battery strength. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks a lot! Just followed your instructions in the video- and the problem was solved! Thanks again from Norway!
I love you with all of my heart! Like no joke I was about to cry
This worked!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!
That is great! Thanks for watching!
I replaced my starter and had them lights on. Thank you sir.
Hello,
You can have a malfunction inside the transfer case that can lead to a failure and a different feel while driving. I have seen a lot of them fail for various internal failures.
Wow, so simple, but who would have thought of this? Cleared 4x4, DSC and brake errors -- thank you!!
Hello Allan, The first thing to check is the battery cable connections to make sure both are secured and tight. Since you disconnected the negative you know that one is good so just double check the positive side. This may be a failing alternator which is what the vehicle runs off of once it is started. This can cause stalling but your BMW may also have a recall for a power cable to the fuse panel. Stop by your BMW shop and have them do a key read to see if your vehicle fits in the recall.
Thank you so much for your great video, this is exactly I was looking for :) I am super beginner to repair my x3. I got the same problem today, so I will fix it now. Thank you!
Hello, Your welcome! Thanks for posting!
Hello, That helped to verify my suspician. You have the N62 engine on your E70. The N62 has a common failure with the alternators. This can lead to various electrical failures, over and under voltage issues, stalling and then a loss of voltage due to no charging. At times the problem can occur only after driving for about a half hour and it can be intermittent. This sounds like you will need to have your alternator replaced to correct this.
I hope this helps :)
The CD stack would be related to the radio problem in most cases. It may be that this is a bad amp or the radio head unit. Both are common along with the TCU. The Safety warning would be a different failure relating to either the airbag system or the module called the SIM safety information module. Usually this type of failure does require a trip to the dealer.
That is great news! Thanks for the comment and watching my video :)
Do the lights come on right at start up or do they come on while you are driving? Does your instrument cluster flicker or radio cut out while driving after about 30 minutes or so?
Thanks for posting this vid , got these lights on start up on my 2009 528XI after the temperature dropped to 13 degrees overnight , did the steering wheel full back and forth and lights are gone , luckily I didn't lose time and date
Hello, The best way to check this is to use a volt meter and watch the power output at the jump terminal. You should see around 13 volts. Then turn all the lights, blower, radio, seat heater et. on and recheck. It should be able to hold charging voltage. If it starts to drop below 12.5 the alternator is most likely the problem. It would also be a good idea to have the codes scanned to see what codes have set with the lights coming on.
Depending on the model most power steering runs off the belt with the pump. Make sure your belts are still attached for the power steering and check the fluid level. The wipers can enter a failsafe mode which is constantly on and with the airbag light both of these items will require the vehicle to be scanned for codes to trace down the problem.
Thanks for the video. I got the DTC 49F2 on my 2006 E61, hopefully as a result of a weak battery (a reset of time and date) the day before.
The DTC did not set directly after the start attempt and not even after the second start of the car. The DTC was set a couple km after I took it for a drive the day after.
For me it didn't help turning the wheel. Driving above 30 km/h turned the fault code off.
I will buy a new battery for the car :)
I did that but i think my problem is the sensor is missed up i think i missed up while i was changing my axle or maybe i need to get the alignment done but i tell this this nice video
u deserve five stars here they are ★★★★★ ♔♔♔♔♔♥
While this may be a problem with the steering angle sensor, the DSC warning can come on for other reasons as well. Such as a bad wheel speed sensor, a yaw rate sensor, pressure sensor or any fault code that is stored in the DSC control unit. You will need to first have the vehicle scanned to read the codeout to find what the root cause may be. Not all scan tools can read DSC faults but a part store may be able to scan the code for free for you.
Hello Miranda, If turning the steering wheel from lock to lock does not work then there is a failure causing the warning lights. I would first check your brakes to make sure none of the brake pad sensors are worn through. Then you would need a scan to see what codes have set to identify the problem.
hi I did the steering movement two three times light stays it did not go but when I drove for 1 min the light goes away and didn't show off again and the turn signs are also turning off automatically every thing is solved thanks for your support it was a big help for me
+zeeshan nizami Awesome!
If the warning is present you have a code that needs to be scanned and corrected first. Usually only a key cycle will clear the DSC light unless you have a current problem.
YOU MADE MY WHOLE DAY THANK YOU
Try wiggling the steering wheel. If the key does not turn all the way it could be in the tumbler or column. I have also seen worn out keys do this but it is usually on high mileage BMW's.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video just fixed my problem and made my weekend!
thx mate, really give u a lot of appreciation, I had same problem and your video save me a lot
Thanks for your video bro , it works, before watch this video , i was thinking i have to pay too much money to get fix this , thanks so muchhhhh :)
Sounds different than a battery issue. The best step is to have the codes scanned and some tests run at the dealer for this type of problem. Too many things it could be so the scan and some test plans should help narrow things down for you. Best wishes!
Thanks this video helped me out with my 2010 BMW X3!!
Hello. This happened to me yesterday on my 2006 525xi. I went to go visit some family but I was outside sitting in the car rolling the windows up and down sometimes because I would get a little chilly. I played the radio off and on too but I started the car a couple of times as well. On the highway heading back the 4x4 AWD malfunction light came on. When I had exited to pull over somewhere I cut the car off and something told me to start it back up and when I tried it, it didn't start back up. I couldn't even lock the car with the remote switch so I did manually and left it there for a sec then I tried to unlock it with the key remote and it unlocked so I got back in and the car started up and loss time and date. Please tell me what's probably going on.
U figure it out?
You may have a problem with the level sensor not reading correctly. Also with this repair I usually have to use the BMW tester to activate the compressor for filling. You may need the dealer to perform this fill procedure and reset the correct ride height.
This could be due to a bad transfer case motor in the transfer case or the module under the front seat. Usually a component will need replacement to correct this type of problem.
And if i have all those lights in my dashboard also with the transmission code i saw a lot of bmw x5 e70 owners have the same problem and i change the actuator like 8 months ago and now again the same but my bmw runs super super slow only with the front wheels and its like very heavy i cannot drive like that anymore but if i put on reverse i can drive fast, do you think thats normal problems with transfer case i cannot make my mw to get the 4x4 so i think its something inside of the transfer case or actuator (the motor gear parts that are like $20 dollars)
Sorry to hear that Yoshixx, Sometimes it is the gear and sometimes it is an internal problem. But if you have a transmission code I would look at that as well. This may be an internal transmission problem. Disconnect the plug to the transfer case motor and see if the symptoms are gone. If not then this is more than just the transfer case.
I also have a give away running for a smoke machine. Post a comment in the video to enter ua-cam.com/video/sUHlB6NSbnM/v-deo.html
My 525i idrive system was suddenly dead, I disconnected both battery terminals for 45 mins, then after reconnecting batt idrive started, chimes restored, I switched of car, then started again idrive was working, but after three hours I started the car, again idrive was blank, please help on this issue
Hello SamsosDen, Thank you for subscribing. This sounds like a radio head unit problem which is what gives the I drive screen the display. Also you can lose the chimes when it fails. Try to do a longer battery reset but the next steps would be to program the vehicle and then it may need a radio head unit replacement to fix this issue.
HI,i have 2007 bmw m6,fixed a new battery on lately and now when i drive the car for 20 minutes it starts giving me a lot of warning messages and the steering wheel became hard and speedo meter jumps up and down!!! turn the engine off after a while i started and it is normal but after 20 minutes of driving i get all those warnings again!!! do you know what is the problem??thanks in advance.
Thank you! My 4x4 messages went off.
Hello Omar, That is great! Thanks for posting!
Just had that triangle thing pop up amd you helped clear it. Thanks.
Awesome Samuel!
Hello Leroy, I have seen alternators cause problems after about 30 minutes of driving. You may have an over voltage problem but it would be worth having the codes scanned by a shop.
Thanks for your reply. It is an E65. Some other issues that are probably connected to the Radio problem are - Safty and Seat Belt Warning Lights permanently on in dashboard, right hand side of tv screen displays rolling patterns (when in split mode) and CD stack in dashboard not working. Can you give any further help!
If not it looks like an expensive trip to a main dealer.
HELLO I HAVE A 330xi IM HAVING THIS LIGHTS WHEN I GO ON DRIVE ONLY I CHANGED THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACCORDINGTO THE MEXHANICS CODES SO I DID IT MYSELF THE MOTOR BUT THE LIGHTS ARE STILL THERE WHEN I GO ON DRIVE WHAT SHOULD I do???
If it is an E65 7 series it most likely is a MOST but problem. You would need to jump out control modules with a fiber optic jumper like in some of my MOST bus videos. I would start at the telephone control unit. It is a common one to cause problems.
Thank god I found this
I didn’t know this happened after you disconnected the battery and when I disconnected it to clean the engine bay and this came up, I thought I screwed something up
Thanks man I change my old for new battery and I had the same lights on but u video help me how fix it thank u from Atlanta ga 👍🏼
This sounds like all faults and warnings relate to a failure in the ABS or parking brake system. This will need hands on diagnosis to fix as well as a scan using BMW software.
Hello, Do you get a warning only when you first start the vehicle or all the time? What model and year BMW do you own?
to reset steering angle error, do you suggest to bring to the dealership?
Are your lights only coming on during a first start in the morning or are they there all the time?
Thank you!!! life and time saver!!!
Hello, This may be a problem with the steering lock, voltage so you can try a jump start, an IBS problem (see my video about battery acid causing a no start), a CAS issue, a key problem, or a bad starter. Unfortunately there are a lot of things that cause the same symptoms. The starter failing is common however.
Excellent video . Thanks because I was baffled after I changed my battery , Thought I blew a fuse.
I replaced the rear air bags on my e70 x5 and the rear end is still low with air in the bags but not enough to lift the rear to its normal driving height. Will I also need to replace rear shocks or compressor. Any clues will be much appreciated.
Double check you battery connections, if good you should have the alternator checked when the symptom is present. It may be intermittently overcharging.
I have the same problem(07 328xi) but I went to BMW dealer to replace the new one. And this is my new battery look like , I use Equus 3721 Battery checker, first-day(12.4V), second-day(12.1V), third-day(11.8V). if am not drive go anywhere! Why my battery drop down so fast ? what can i do ? thank you
Hello, Does the engine crank over at all? How long ago did you replace the battery?
Is this a 2wd vehicle giving the 4wd warning light? We have an 09 x5 that's doing this. Our vehicle is 2 wheel drive.
Mike, have the vehicle scanned to help find out which speed sensor may be damaged.
hello i got the same problem but in e90 325i can u help to identify the problem ? i just changed the battery but after driving around 1 hour all light are on again (dtc brake abs and steering angle)..... thanks
Hi it´s a nice video, i´ve got bmw x3 and the 4x4, ABS, brake lights are on when a I drive my vehicle a technician put a scan tool a told me have a problem with transfer module what can I do? thanks
Hello my 2009 BMW 328i won’t crank. I check voltage on hidden menu and it’s below 12 volts. Do I need a new battery?
Hello, Any battery below 12 Volts may not have enough power to crank your engine. If you have a way to charge the battery I would do that first or use a jump pack or jumper cables. If your engine still does not start I have a video that may help. ua-cam.com/video/OprcKX2l_Ow/v-deo.html Also if you decide to Join as a high octane member I can help you directly one on one with your BMW.
This sounds like a corruption in programming of a control unit or it may need replacement. You will need to use the dealer and have them try a full vehicle programming first. If there is a control module failing it will not allow programming and will help identify the failure better.
i got the driver rear brake sensor off is not there not sure why bought the 2001 x5 like that ..afther pressure washing under rear and front abs and brake light came on
remove all speed sensor and clean the clock to clock wont clear anithing help please thanx
Yes I have a a 2000 BMW 740 IL and um all my life come on and my cargo day as I'm driving about at about 30 minutes or so odd of to have them replace and I have a brand new battery what could be the problem
hell i got the same problem in a e90 325i.... do u think that i have to replace the alternator as well ???? thanks..
The radio on my BMW 7 cuts out with a buzzing noise only for about 10 seconds and then plays for 3 mins with this cycle recurring. Can you diagnose this problem for me.
2005 BMW X5, warning lights come out after changed battery.
Follow instruction in video, clear all warning lights.
Thank you for your video.

Hi, I have a question, I have an bmw e46 320d 2003 estate m3 left hand europe car. I changed the speedometer from kmh (europe) to the UK mileage speedometer. After changing im starting the car and the braking pad warning lights stays on. I have driven for about 10 minutes still there. When I put back to old speedometer (km/h one) the braking pad warning lights stays on for about 1 minutes then it goes off, that means everything is ok. Can you please tell what is wrong. Is this the speedometer???
hello, i have a quick question about my BMW 745Li... I have an 03 BMW thats in a limp mode
What should I do?
Hello Tayla, This is a tough one. The limp home mode can be turned on for too many reasons to name. Engine, transmission, sensors et. The starting point will be to have the vehicle faults scanned. I would recommend a reputable BMW shop or even the dealer because this can be a difficult diagnosis. A shop with just a regular scan tool may not be able to find the real cause of the problem. You can try a battery reset to see if the problem will clear. This would be to disconnect the negative cable for 10 minutes and then reconnect and tighten. Don't close the trunk when you have it disconnected. If the problem is current the symptom will return. If not it should clear.
And thank you for being a subscriber Tayla!!
Hi I have a 330xi 2006 and today while I was driving the car lost it's power then tried turning it back on and it was acting like if the battery was dead. I unplugged the cable from the negative side of the battery and it did turned on. Do you you what might be? It also says 4x4 failure bt it goes away
hello I tell my problem with my BMW X3 3.0i . DSC . ABS and brake !!! ... you change the crown of the actudor of the transfer case , also aliniamiento and roll . Battery is new. sensors are good . scanner and I will do it throw error transfernecia box is to be many alternatives to solve . I would like you to give me some idea because I think my head is going to explode so many doubts . I made the test of the steering wheel from lock to lock and light DCS is deleted, but do a tour and then the three lights . please appreciate your help friend . greetings and thanks from now .
Hello, Driving the vehicle should rest the 4X4 warning for you. Also turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. Let me know how you make out once you try this :)
Thank you so much
My lights don't turn off when I turn my steering wheel what do I do now?
Hello, This would mean you have a fault related to a component that is failing. You will need to scan the vehicle to help trace down the issue.
how do i get the ABS and the Brake like to go off
Hey. How do I reset the DSC warning light in my 116? Thanks
Hello, I have a 2010 BMW x5 e70 6 cylinder petrol engine in New Zealand. Car has original BMW battery (almost 10 years old) and had a dead flat battery which couldn't be even jump started with 2 jump starters. So I took the battery out and recharged it with a professional battery man. I reconnected the recharged battery and engine started but idrive/multimedia buttons are not working. After 3 weeks the car also shows "increased battery discharge" /battery low. Is there a fuse for multimedia buttons/idrive. Would there be a parasitic drain? what do you recon.
Hello Eldhose saju, I suspect the failure in your vehicle is the radio head unit. This is a common cause of a parasitic drain and would result in a loss of the I drive screen and controls. Am I correct that your radio and display on the control display is also not working? If you would like to talk to me directly please visit my website at www.askthecarexperts.com and use the contact us tab.
Hai, Thanks for the reply.Radio, DVD, Aux in is working . Steering controls help to change the channel and change to DVD and change of channel is displayed on the monitor.But the I drive /multimedia buttons are not working which is my biggest worry. Any suggestions
Hello, And thank you for the clarification. By your description this is just the I drive controller that is not functioning. To rule out if this is the cause of the battery drain you could disconnect the connection to the I drive controller and charge the battery to see if you still have a battery issue. It may be the battery is worn out but this step will help prove this. It sounds like you will need a replacement I drive controller. They often get damaged from accidental spills.
Hello
I put a new battery now and no power drain. Still I drive /multi media button is not working. Is there a specific fuse for multi media button in x5.
I would be happy to look at the wiring diagram for you. Can you go to my website at www.askthecarexperts.com and use the contact us tab to send me the last seven digits of your vehicle identification number (VIN).
such a life saver!!!!!!!!!!!
it use to just show up every once and a while months at a time but its been staying on lately
I have this issue when I drive on the motorway continuously, the abs light with 2 other warning lights comes up on the dashboard and when I stop and start the engine again and move off, the lights go off. What could be the issue?
Hello Deqi and Asis, I would be happy to try and help you with this. The first step will be to have the fault codes read out of the ABS/DSC system to see what might be going on. When you restart the car the vehicle does a self test and if the issue is not current the warnings will go off but something is causing them. Unfortunately it could be quite a few things that can cause this warning. A scan will help narrow it down. If you want to contact me directly go to my website at www.askthecarexperts.com and go to the contact us page and we can talk via email as well.
This is with the vehicle not driven or started? You may have what is called a parasitic draw. This is a component causing a drain on the battery. A draw test will need to be done by your repair shop to trace this down.
hello I live in Canada I have a bmw 325i 2006 today I started my car in the morning which was parked out side in -20c it wouldn't start cause of battery low voltage and then I connected the JumpStart and able to start the car in first attempt after starting I realize the clock was reset and the warning sign turn on which shows and traction control and then I realized while driving that if I put the turn signal which used to turn off automatically when the car was turned is not turning off so I have to do it manually do u think its the same issue a small help will be appreciated
+zeeshan nizami Hello, I would definitely give it a try. It sounds like the steering angle sensor may not be calibrated due to the voltage loss or you may have a problem with the steering angle sensor or slip ring connection. As strange as it may sound you can also try a battery reset and then do the steering sweep left to right upon start up.
Hello,My ABS light, brake, 4X4 lights are on so by following your specs on this video will it remove all if not most all from my instrument panel?
Only if the fault is due to a low voltage situation or a battery replacement. If it is a failure in the system it will need diagnosis.
You the best! Thank you!
I have a 2005 BMW 645ci. I replaced my battery. I was told that I had to register my battery to the car. If I didn't it would drain my new battery down. I took it to the dealer and they charged me $200.
Could I have turned my my steering wheel to the right and to the left with that have fixed my problem. Or did I need to hook up my scanner to the car to register battery.? Please help me.
Hello Alvin, Registering a battery helps prolong the life of the battery as it allows the engine computer to allow the alternator to charge the battery correctly. The steering wheel turning lock to lock is just to calibrate the steering angle sensor after a battery reset. I hope this helps!
So how do I register the battery? Do I do it with my scann tool. I need to know how to register the battery for the next time I have to replace it. Thank you for replying so fast. God bless you and your family. 😇
Thank you Alvin! Some scan tools can register a battery replacement. I like the Autel which has some great features including battery registration. Use this link to check out the Autel that includes battery registration. It pays for itself the first time you use it and it has a lot of features.
amzn.to/2ve73i5
Thank you so much once again for replying. So now I know what to do next time when I replace a battery. Thank you for making the response crystal clear. You are very easy to follow. Thank you so much for all of your help I really appreciate it
Your Welcome Alvin!
I have a similar problem with my E70 4.8 I change the battery 3times and still same problem...
You may have a battery drain or a defective sensor. This only fixes the warnings if there is not an active fault. A scan and battery drain testing should be performed. I wish you the best and I hope you get is solved.
Mine has the first yellow exclamation point pop up but it won't even start. The brakes are locked up as well as the steering wheel and I try to start it and it doesn't make a sound. I put my key in and my radio and lights and everything come on. It's a 2011 BMW 328i. Any help?!
Hello Chloe, This could be quite a few things unfortunately. If you see a steering lock symbol it may be a bad steering column lock, if not then it could be a starter failure. Sounds like it will need to go into a shop for some diagnosis. Make sure they check the engine ground strap. This corrodes and can cause a no crank no start as well.
Yes it is a used speeometer
hello,
I have a problem with 2011 BMW 328xi 2days ago. I was on my way to work then all of a sudden, the battery appears and it say battery malfunction and my wipers start moving and tried to turn off but won't work. Then the 4x4 appeared. but my major problem is, as soon as I get to work and park my car for 10 hours, and ready to get back home, my car won't start, you will notice that everytime you start the car, you just "click click click" and were trying to jump start and succededly, then I notice that the car slowly dying on me while its running. can you tell me what do you think is wrong in my car?
thanks
Hello, By the description this sounds like it could be an alternator problem possibly not charging. Usually when the battery light comes on while driving the alternator is not charging. Take a good look at the drive belts to make sure they are not covered with oil or coming off. You can check the voltage with a volt meter at the jump start terminal. With the engine running it should be aprox. 13 to 15 volts. Make sure to check the battery terminals to make sure they are clean and secure. If you get low voltage while running and everything else checks good replace the alternator.
what happen if the lights when back on?
Hello Randy, If the lights go back on this would mean that there is a hard fault code setting. Have your vehicle scanned for fault codes to help identify the failure.
