I have my DSC and TPMS sensor lights on

from what I have been reading it can be either a wheel speed sensor (vortex) or possibly steering angle is off

what would you recommend I do... it seems to get the codes scanned cost and arm and a leg...

should I get a speed sensor or get the car scanned

this is one of the last things to get my r53 running and registered

thanks!

 

Replace the sensor first, you can find them on eBay.

 

which side usually goes bad? i keep reading conflicting info...

 

FWIW, we've have the driver's side go out twice on our project MINI.

 

awesome i will start with that side, now once installed will the light magically go away when installed or does it need to be driven some...(if sensor was the culprit)

 

My driver side went bad on the past.

 

It seems foolish to replace a sensor without knowing precisely whats wrong with the car first. What happens when you spend $100+ on a sensor and the light is still on? You replace the other side? ... and the light is still on? how do you propose to clear it? What if the steering angle sensor is the problem? Get it scanned IMO.

Sometimes, just cleaning it and reinstalling it will work...if you do not have to destroy it to get it out!!
