dsc turned itself off?

[MJ3]

Quick question. Have a E90 318d and for last few months has been perfect with no problems. On the way to work this morning my dash light for dsc came on but isn't flashing. Looking in the manual it says that it means dsc has turned itself off? Never had a car with this or so many sensors haha. Just wanted to know if its a common fault and costly to sort? And if there would be any problems running the car without atm? Thanks

Sure its not the DSC warning light? They look similar if I remember correctly.

Oh and if it is fubared then replacement can be costly, although BMW do offer help on some occasions

We had this fail on our old 1 series and cost over £1000 to fix, because the only remedy was to replace the entire hydro/DSC unit. However, these days I believe (probably because its so common) that there is a repair kit available for ~ £250 from BMW.

Was it the warning lights shown here?

ah thanks, yes thats the warning light thats come on today.
Hopefully not being stupid here but the dsc is basically help stop the car loose control on the road, ie wheelspin\back end whipping out?
Would be safe to continue with it disabled apart from there is more chance of said wheelspin\backend out or can it cause more system errors?
Sorry if silly question again.

Cold and damp weather sometimes causes the DSC system to trip out on my E65. Normally if you stop and restart the car it goes away.

Not suggesting any sillyness here, just a comment........ I had this a couple of times on my E39, and it was just that I'd hit the button with my fag packet .... I'm not sure where your buttons are located, couldn't be anything as daft could it ?

Well got in the car after work and nothing appeared on the dash, even after 33miles. I'll see how the next few days go but seems my car wanted mess about with me.
Thanks for the replies

Seems E90s don't like cold and damp either!
