It's an e46 318ci cab so hopefully some faults will be common.

The yellow dsc and yellow handbrake light are on.

I've done a bit of research but there's nothing conclusive as many have those two lights on plus the ABS light too...

This is different with just the two lights on and not the ABS

I know ultimately I need to get the codes read but an idea of what we might be looking at would help

many thanks

Maybe the pressure sensors on the brake master cylinder are faulty. Or steering angle sensor.

Yeah, I did read that thanks.

I understand it could be those, or a wheel speed sensor at the front.

Ill get the codes read tomorrow

Thanks!

A wheel speed sensor would put the abs light on.

Ah right, thanks for that.

Lets hope its a pressure sensor and not a steering angle sensor

Thanks again, just to update; it was the ABS pressure sensor number 1.

That's the one closer to the partition as opposed to number two being next to the bulkhead.
