R53 Xmas tree lights (abs, TPMS, ASC)

I assumed I had a dirty or faulty wheel speed sensor so I took the drivers side one off cleaned it up and reinstalled it, no change. My second step was to removed the passenger side one which turned out to be held in there with the powers of Zeus and was broken by me (sigh) so I ended up tearing that side 1/2 apart to get clearance to drill and knock it out of the hole and clean it up and install a new sensor I ordered. I then put the car back together to discover I still had the stupid lights. Now when I drive over 65mph my red BRAKE light comes on as well as a service engine soon light. Everything is tight and I have enough fluid in the car.

Does anyone know of a shop/dealer who can hook up to get the sensor codes (maybe wheel angle sensor) without charging a billion dollars?

Peak Euro Sports charged me $24 to read the a check engine lite. I had to replace a bad O 2 sensor.

Any parts store, IE: Auto Zone, Advance Auto, Pep Boys, NAPA, so on so forth, can read the code for you for free. They wont be able to tell you what it is for, but you can get the code. And bring the code here and search for it.

Nick's Auto will read your codes for free if you put one of their license plate frames on your car, and your oil changes are half off. They've done good work for me.
