All this cost me was the cost of a cheap garage-jack that I needed anyway. Could have been thousands! Thank you! this is a lifesaver! As has been commented earlier though; make sure to use super-thin washers. A little to fat, and the abs and traction systems go offline and the dash lights up like a Christmas tree! Brilliant video, man! Very helpful! Thanks again!

I had the same problem with my 10 years old BMW 1 series and I tried this fix and just came back from a test drive. I works perfectly. Thank you!

Brilliant, fixed my 2011 E91 in 10mins. Pickup had clearly touched the ring. Recommend to follow this fix.

Thanks for video, did this fix today, removed and cleaned both rear ABS sensors, I also cleaned the ABS ring with penetrating oil, put washers underneath ABS bracket and it worked. Thanks again, highly recommended!

Thanks for sharing this information, this problem has happened to me and didn't know what to do without pulling out the drive shaft and replacing the Reluctor Ring. Bravo !!

This works perfectly!!! What a guy !!! Thanks bro.

I had this issue on my 120d. Warning light, reduced rpm then limp mode. The fix from various garages was between £180 to over £400 ( from BMW ). My local specialist garage did the fix you outline in the video for £70. That was about 20,000 miles ago. Had no issues with it since. :-)

A thousand thank you. It works perfectly for my 2000 BMW 328i. The mechanic quoted me $2350.

This worked perfectly for my 2010 bmw X3 "581C" BMW OBD2 code . Thank you very much for this video!

Try the ring pull from a drinks can instead of a washer! Perfect thickness to allow the sensor to still see the ring and allow it to operate properly

Great video. We have two BMW's. and I do the maintenance of them.

Thank you for your video, My BMW 1 series 20d M Convertible had the same problem. I done what you did with a plastic washer. It works fine and when I make the car skid/loose control the traction control still kicks in. Job done 👍

Great fix. I have this problem too. I think this could work well. Thank you 👍

You are a life saver thank you so much I got quoted nearly 900 pounds, and I did this today and it worked thank you!!

Had the same problem on my 120D Coupe...My old eyes thought that the fault light was the A start system / EGR valve kicking in and cutting power !! My local garage looked at the diagnostics and no fault on the EGR and diagnosed the Reluctor ring. Fixed as per your video £70... Good call .. BMW would have changed a shaft.....robbers

I followed your video to clean my sensors and it worked. No more ABS kicking in all the time. Thank you very much!

Just fixed my problem because of you....thanks!!

Brilliant, done it today took both sensors out and cleaned them and the ring added washer it’s working perfect now

Worked great on my 2000 BMW 328 ci thanks 🤗

I just did it today..my fuxxing car, e90 2005, annoying me a lot!! It works, anyway!!! Great..thanks!!! If anyone has same problem, just follow this.. do it both of rear wheels. Only 1 hour enough to do.!!

Works great on my E81 116i... thank you 👍

Excellent explanation and creative, inexpensive solution that you explained very clearly. Just subscribed. Thank you!

Great video, fixed my annoying Tc light coming on intermittently and losing power!!! Just make sure u don't use a thick washer like I did first time round...made the speedo wobble and brakes lock up when stopping at a slow speed!!! just make sure washer is super thin👍👍👍

Thank you sir . You just saved me some hard earned $$$. Need more videos from you . Cheerz

thank you so much for this info! now i can finally fix my Bmw Z3s abs light/ brake light problem on the dash board! :D

Thank you for your video. I have BMW E90 320i 2009 model. I found your video on the KZfaq. And then, I can fix same trouble.

Thanks a lot. I just have the same problem on my BMW too.

Awesome stuff mate! Thank you!

From Mexico with Like You video God bless you my friend keep adding videos say hi to everyone in your country and be safe

Wish I'd known about this a few years ago. It happened to me when I was travelling to a ferry to drive abroad for a short holiday. I had to take it to my garage and get it fixed same day. I got charged £750

What size washer to use? Thank you so much for this video

You are great my friend. Thank you!!

Thank you so much mate!

Thanks for this video tutorial. I have 08 750li (E66). The DSC keeps coming on in low speeds out of the parking lot of backing up. Im gonna try this on all four wheels. It is the most annoying thing for this BMW. Appreciate the good video lesson

Wish me luck! I will try this fix tomorrow! I've had this problem for over a year now on my E90. I manually turn off the DTC, and it drives fine. I will be replacing all 4 ABS sensors, and give the reluctor rings, and sensor holes on driver axle a good scrubbing/scraping.

This is awesome! Thanks mate :D

Genius

I've got this issue right now! Definitely going to check into this, Thanks!

Many thanks for you today I got some problems I was on my way to London

Worth a shot!

How do you know which wheel it is located on or how many or is it just one sensor? On the drivers side? I'm having the same issue

Great video!! I did exacly thay u said and it works!! Thank you!! Greetings from netherlands!! Thumbs up

Great job👍🏻👍🏻

Thank very much, this is really helpfull

Sound's great 🤔

What is the spacer/ washer dia. which you used?

Great Video. I got the ring and sensor replaced on one side last year. I now have problem with other side and need temporary fix until eventually replacing the ring there too. I am currently deactivating dynamic stability control every time I drive to prevent juddering.

Lincoln mkz Some times thanks enough I don't know how I would thanks for this video Dealer said it cost you 2'300$ When I tried it all works for me, thanks for your very helpful video

Great upload mate i do all my work on my car is good to see what people are up to 👍

Thanks man, it works great and saved me a few bucks !

Just spray PB Blaster on the Ring ! Magic

ABS sensor control brakes and give informations to DSC ( Dinamic Slip Control ) which contol intake throtle . Is not breaking the wheels

Would this issue also cause the parking brake to lock up? I currently have ABS/Traction and Engine Warnings on E84 X1.

What I did after this hack , took wire wheel to axle then treated it with rust conversion, then painted it. I check it every spring, and touch up as needed.

oh wow bro nice to see you at your new english channel im glad that people realise that creating in english is way better

Good video bro!

What size washer do you use iv got same issue with my 320d touring 2012

Sounds like the wheel bearing is causing a ring/sensor contact issue. It probably will drive a long time like that however.

Thank you sir, your tip is good.

I had this exact problem with my BMW-320. This problem is temperature dependent too. Since the magnetic HAL-effect (which is the principle for a reluctor-ring to operate correctly) is varies greatly with temperature. My problem started 2 weeks ago when the temperature here in Bergen / Norway dropped under 0 C. (I'm just mentioning this if hasn't been stated in the comment already; too lazy to read them all).

The problem with E87 common problems is that there’s a lot of common problems

Regis you are Lithuanian? And in Vilnius?

I have this fault at the moment. Is there a way I can tell which tire it is so that I can perform the temporary fix on it? Thank you.

Thank you for this this share! I'm having that problem, and will try this. many thanks

Good to know TY

Can you tell me what inch spacer you used?

So so so so thank you man!

These type of tutorials are a nightmare to garages!

Sweet. Imagine if only 1 in 1000 people who saw this video did it instead of paying a mechanic. A million views - a thousand people - a thousand euros per save - a million euros saved. Boss!

How do i know which tire have a problem?

Thanks for the information

This is awesome....thanks a lot mate!did this and my problem was solved!

ur legend man really function!❤️

My DTC light is on, but no ABS or loss or power. Only thought, and garage said was linked to steering calibration sensor.

I have an issue with my 2016 F21 116d Sport. It doesn't happen all the time, but every 7/10 drives on average it will malfunction completely and the DSC is permanently disabled, meaning I also can't use cruise control or eco/sport/sport+ modes, unless I pull over, turn ignition off and start engine again and hope it doesnt happen. I find it happens if you slip the clutch a lot coming up out of an incline from a standstill. It also will just happen randomly cruising on the motorway and boom "DSC malfunction" into "cruise control failure" and I have to drive myself then. I might give this a go and hopefully it fixes the problem.

Wow that’s amazing and clever 👏👏

thanks nice video man !

How thick is the washer i put a washer in. Can it be to thick or check somewere else?

thanks a lot .. with BMW X3 All Wheel Drives I have to make it for 4 Wheels ?

Hey thank for the nice diy. I have one question. Is that ring only on the rear driver side or on every corner?

washer on the bolt is a better option as the spacer will let dirty and damp in

Which models does this fix apply to? The video seems to show a car that is pretty mangy and generally lacking in maintanance (some of those suspension components really should be replaced).

Useful video, thanks for sharing.

Looks like he used a Copper Crush washer that's sandwiched between a Brake Caliper and Brake Hose Line. Looks like a brilliant temporary fix.

Good video

Great stuff beat the system 👍

Thank Regis for your sharing a lot. The method works for my vehicle of BMW 09 Series 1.

What if you change both sensors and the disc malfunction comes back on? Thanks

i have this on my dash, would this cause my car to stall underload as that is whats happening at the moment!, i will definately try this!

Hi, I have a 2011 BMW 740LI, my car has been down powering on me while driving, along with a saying DSC malfunction engine chassis stabilization reduced. Once I turn the car off and back on the malfunction goes away and I can drive again for a couple days until it does it again. After taking it in to BMW having them do a diagnostics check they’re saying I need a new DME which costs about $2500. Is this something I should do with my car first before I spend thousands of dollars on a new DME, please let me know what you think. Thank you very much

Do you have to do this for all wheels? Do you think think can work for a 2013 BMW X3 Xdrive28i?

I got exactly the same Problem, but my obd tool shows 3 steering angle sensor errors. Could it still be the abs sensor or should I try to clean the steering angle sensor?

thanks dear , great

Are you near NJ ??

What side is the sensor on back driverside or passenger side

I'm having this issue. traction controll warning light along with parking brake. are they related? Also do I need to check all 4 to find the problem? I don't have a fancy odb reader

How do you determine which wheels sensor is needing this fix?

Thanks mate, understand that will solved the Dsc problem. But after a washes applied, how's the abs system? It's that still working on emergency braking?

Yo Regi, Don’t u need a diagnosis to know wat wheel?

Just for your information. On e60-e63 the front does not have a reluctor ring. You much change the bearings
