Plug the connector into the OBD2 port, let’s go to Autel MK808,

Diagnostics >> BMW >> Manual selection >> 3 Series >> F30/F31/F35 >> Yes

Turn the ignition off, please wait...

Turn the ignition on, please wait...

It is communicating with the ECU, and it’ll give us a big list of a system that will allow us to diagnose. I need to find the ABS/DSC system.

Diagnosis >> Control unit >> Chassis

ABS - DSC(ABS-Dynamic stability control) >> Read codes

It’s telling one fault code here: 48082A - wheel speed sensor(WSS): right rear voltage supply circuit short to battery(+)

It means that there is a fault with the rear right ABS sensor. It is a very common failure on BMW’s actually, what I had done was to change the ABS sensor over, and put a new one in.

So go back to clear codes,

ESC >> Erase codes

DTCs and freeze data will be deleted, press “Yes” to continue.

Codes have been successfully erased. Press “OK” to finish.

The ABS warning light has gone!

We can return to “Read codes” again to verify as well.
