Traction control warning

dalgetty
in BMW 7 Series Forum

Featured Replies

Dear All,

To get my 740L through the Swiss MOT I need to stop the warning that DTC is not available, every time I power up.

If the warning doesn't come up, I can get it through. If not, my garage says it will not be accepted.

They tried to get a replacement for the steering wheel insert, but failed.

Can anybody tell me if there is a way simply to stop that warning coming up?

Thanks a lot!

Best,

John

    Hi John

    Welcome to the Forum

    The most common cause for the DTC/DSC warning is a failed ABS wheel sensor or a Fault with the ABS unit possibly a fault with the Steering angle sensor.

    A Diagnostic Scan with a BMW capable scanner would verify the issue, if it is a wheel sensor it is a straight forward change if an ABS unit there are several repair companies in the UK who repair them far cheaper than a new unit.
