I've searched and can find the "trifecta" light reports but I didn't see anything solid for just the TPMS and DSC. I would think they'd all come on since they all function off the wheel sensors. Is it possible that only two lights come on with a failed sensor? I checked the fuse (33), tried the TPMS reset, tried the DSC switch, and disconnected the battery for about 10 minutes. All to no avail. If it is a sensor, is there a way to tell which one without a code reader? Thanks!

 

Pulled all four sensors and cleaned them off. No luck. Looks like time for a new sensor. It sounds like the left front is the most likely suspect, so that's where I'll start.

 

The replacement on the left front did nothing, nor did moving the left (apparently good) to the right. I've read more on this and am wondering if the sensors are an issue since the ABS light is NOT on. Should I be looking more towards the steering angle sensor or the yaw sensor that is apparently under the handbrake?

I checked at one of the local parts shops and their loaner scanner only does engine codes. Do I need to take it to the dealer or are there scanners that can do the non-engine codes?

 

I took it to a BMW/MINI shop today for a diagnostic. Turns out the DSC Module tanked. These things are not cheap! Any suggestions on a cheaper way than buying a new one?

 

No suggestions for you, but I wanted to let you know your posts are being read and hopefully learned from. I've heard of a steering angle sensor causing TPMS and DSC lights at the same time (Handsome Rob), but not DSC module. I wonder if there are any friendly dealerships for MINI that discount OEM parts. I know there are VW and Audi places that sell parts on-line at a discount.

 

AMink, did you get this fixed? Was it indeed the DSC module? I am asking, because today as I was driving home the DSC and TPMS light in my car came on (2004 MCS with just a few miles shy of 95k miles). Car drives fine, but I don't want to ignore this. Thanks.
