Brake & Traction warning lights both YELLOW - no error codes
Hello, this is my first post.
My Brake & Traction warning lights both YELLOW. No OBD2 scan codes. Replaced both brake pad wear sensors. Replaced all four wheel-speed sensors. Brake fluid is at MAX. Checked the level sensors. Checked the steering angle sensor with my scanner, but no codes. Reset all codes, even none were present. Tried pressing and holding the traction control button, but nothing happens. I can still put it in SPORT mode, no problem. Looking for answers or suggestions, thanks.
PS: I bought this car in this condition, so I don't know the car's history.
Found the problem. Used a BMW/Mini specific scanner and found that the yaw-rate sensor (located under the passenger seat apparently) had become UNcalibrated. The scanner recalibrated it and all is good.

Glad you figured it out. This shows the value of getting the appropriate scanner for these little monsters, too!
