Electrical problem
2001 BMW 318 Two Wheel Drive Manual 58000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Last week 3 lights appeared on my dashboard at the same time. the ABS light, the Traction Control light and and brake warning light. I looked up my user manual and it said that when these 3 lights come on together, it means there is an internal failure in the system and that i will have to carry it to BMW Service to investigate the problem. but a couple of hours later the 3 lights went off and my ABS and traction control were working perfectely again - until today! the 3 lights are back on again. i really dont want to pay bmw big money to do something really simple to the car! help!?

Your description is very clear, thank you. It is very possible the DSC control module is faulty and will require replacement. Unfortunately, this might require a trip to a BMW agency if there are no independents in your area. Send me a PM if further assistance is needed.
