Hi everyone,

I have a 2008 328i with 18k miles. All of a sudden the Brake, ABS and Warning light came on. This came on last month for 2-3 days and went away since. However, today the light came on again. Any ideas?


Thank you

Those 3 lamps/indicators generally come on when there's something wrong with DTC/DSC modules. If it was an odd occurrence, I'd forget about it (happened to me once in the winter) but since this has come up again, I'd get it checked out.

You could read thru my many posts about warning lights. My issue ended up being a faulty power distribution box. I had every single warning light go off. Id say ignore it for now. It may go away as quickly as it came. You can potentially spend bookoo $$$$ trying to diagnose it.

hey guys i got hit on the driver side and had to replace suspension. now i have the triangle and circling arrow on, brakes, and tire sensor.. i will be changing my brakes this weekend with rotors, sensors, etc..
would the triangle be a Wheel speed sensor on the driver sid (front)?

i also hav vibration while braking and thats why im changing rotors, my car is past due for brakes so i figured vibration could be due to the rotors being bad.

Diagnostic came out to error code

5DF0
5DF1

The computer that diagnosed the error code wasn't from a BMW specialty shop. Would it make a difference if I brought it in a shop that specializes in BMW's with a BMW computer scanner?

Please advise.

your Hydro unit/Abs is bad. Needs to be replaced.

So what did it wind up being, this is happening to me on my 07 now too.

I had the same problem and the same codes in my 2008 328I. I checked around here in the USA and no one was able to rebuild my Hydraulic pump and ABS module. Some can be rebuilt, some can not. Mine turned out to be a Continental Teves Mk61 which could not be rebuilt by anyone I had contacted in the USA. I found "ECU Testing LTD" in England and sent the entire unit to them and they rebuilt it for me. www.ecutesting.com It cost me $300.00 plus shipping. All codes in the ABS Module remained unchanged, so all I needed to do was to reinstall the unit, clear the fault codes with my BT tool and bleed the brakes. My total cost of doing it my self was less the $500.00.

Might I suggest that your battery is low or needs replacing?

When my battery was dying, it was a light show just like yours, and only replacing the battery fixed the issue (car was cranking slowly as well).

When i went on vacation for 3 weeks in June, I came back to the same light show with my new (year-ish since installed) battery. After highway driving to work for 2 days, no more lights, as it was charged during those drives.

[warren8959]

One more point. I also thought that my battery might cause those fault codes, so while I was having my battery cable recall work done, I had the dealership put in a new battery as mine was five years old. Needless to say it was not a battery issue. Your code reader gave two specific codes 5DF0 and 5DF1. When I talked to the people at ECU Testing, LTD in England they told me that those were two very common fault codes.

My car is also a 2008 328I and my warning lights also came on at 18,000 miles. The reason I eventually sent my unit to England was that they would first test it and if it was OK, the cost would be about $75.00 for the testing. However, if it was found to be faulty, they had the means to rebuild the unit. I figured that if after testing it, if it turned out not to be a bad hydraulic unit and/or ABS module, I would at least be able to rule out that possibility. Good luck.

i have same issue.. its comes on and off.. every 2-3 days.. i did get a low voltage battery warning a couple of weeks ago too.. and sometimes when i do crank my car it stutters a little before the revs are steady my 07 is at 82k now.. dont know if the battery was replaced before but it has a green bubble when i look at it.

Bmw even has a "repair kit" for this.

At first I thought my car was just acting up, but after a trip to the dealer, that's what they said was wrong with it. Not sure what it really does, ha.

But I got it fixed under warranty, but is a $1200-1400 part I am pretty sure.

I have an 08 328i and happened to me around 45-50k.

i got the same issue with my 09 E90 lci,i had a doubt it could be the battery or a rodent bite one of my sensor cables like wheel speed censor? are they easily accessed?

Thanks..

[N0Chill 335i]

I have the same issue except my right front wheel is completely locked. I can't drive forward but I can reverse.

Update
There are 2 part numbers for these units
34506777164 this is for later model 2007 and on
and
34506777160 this is for early model 2007 models
I don't know if they are interchangeable

I have the same codes

AllBlackBimmer where is this repair kit you referenced? I have not been able to source one.

You must have another car or cars, I currently don't since I just sold my M3's so what was turn around time. I might have to go north and bring another car down as the savings 500 bucks is worth it.

Nice contribution to the forum. This is just what I need for the codes I got which are the same as yours and keep coming back when cleared.
