Another one on the X5 is wheel speed sensors, one faulty sensor will set trans- failsafe mode. And battery low voltage too. +More

This is one major issue I have with OBD2, on any car. The computer is SUPPOSED to tell you what the problem is, but it doesn't. Often times you have an issue and you can get like 9 DTCs, only one of which is real. The first fault triggers all kinds of other 'ghost' faults. I can't believe we've had OBD2 26 years and this is still a major problem. It never should've been released like this...

@@TIPSFORDUMMIES Boss, youre a General. For everyone, I had the same symptoms as in the video posted here by Tips for Dummies. When I turned on the engine, in about a mile or so the Trans Fail safe would illuminate and kick the vehicle into slow mode. Also the tachometer wouldnt work and both temperature gauges, water and transmission oil would immediately go to hot and stay there. The tachometer wouldnt work as well. I read where it might be the ignition switch so i changed that first and the symptoms were still there. Then I read on another post to look at the DME and see if there is any corrosion but all the electrical connections were clean as a whistle. So then after reviewing this video I took out the head light a reached in and disconnected the ABS Control module and voila all symptoms of the vehicle disappeared and was brought back to original specs. I will continue to drive the vehicle with the the ABS control module unplugged. I put tape over where the plug plugs into the module to prevent water from getting in and corroding the exposed pins. Also i put the plug in a zip lock bag and taped it closed from water and the elements. I will send the abs control module off to get it repaired through Ebay for $129.00 - $159.00 as I have read their reviews on two different companies. Than you so much TIPS FOR DUMMIES as for 6 months I didnt drive the vehicle as the repair cost was going to be way too high. Some suggested dropping the transmission and changing out the solenoids. Ha, I knew there had to be something electrical causing the mishap. Thanks again. I drove the vehicle twenty five miles without a hiccup. Awesome.

Hey Thanks for watching my videos! No, I don't really think you have a catastrophic damage on the Trany. Although the abs module is not the only symptom for the Trans Failsafe mode, it is a very common problem on BMW's. Give it a try, just disconnect the module and if you don't get the Trans Failsafe Mode, you have found the problem. Hey don't forget to subscribe to my channel

So my BMW X5 e53 2003 totally stopped working last night I was driving and it come up on the dash trans failsafe mode It was going about 20 miles an hour when I was revving it fully and really struggled to pull away from a standstill Then after not even a few minutes it would not even move when accelerating and In gear I’ve got out of the car but left my lights and hazards on and after about 15 minutes when I got back in it would not start . I turned off my lights hazards and also turned my stereo off unplug my phone charger and it started up again. Before I had no warning lights on the dash but when I started it it showed an ABS light also the ESP light and I am not sure what the issue is. I am hoping that it is The battery that was not providing enough voltage to the ECU so it was bringing up fault codes that cut the transmission but my local garage today have told me that if it is not moving when you put it in drive then you need a new gearbox which is £1200! Can you please advise me on what you think it might be? I find it very strange that it was driving fine and it idle is okay but will not move and it does show on a reader that there is a connection issue to the ECU

So I suggest you that before spending big bucks on the car, follow this video and disconnect the ABS module.

Would the ABS module going bad cause the X5 to have starting issues? If my X5 cranks it will start but sometimes it has issues cranking. I'll go to start the X5 and if it doesn't start I turn it off and try to start it again. When it doesn't start it's almost like there's no crank and then I let go of the key and it goes ka'chunk, try to start it again and it starts. I replaced the cam and crank shaft sensors already. About once a month I get the Trans Fail Safe code, I reset it and drive it until it gets the code again. Any tips?

You may have two different problems, I haven't heard nobody heaven a starting problems because of the ABS module, but this may be a unique problem on your vehicle.

I've replaced, the crank and cam shaft sensors, the MAF sensor, checked the battery and posts both inside the trunk and under the hood. Once I get the Trans Fail Safe message I just break out my code reader, reset the code and I'm ok for another month or so. It still has issues starting but once it doesn't start I just wait a second and try again. The most I've ever had to do to get it to start was 4 tries. So I've just been dealing it with it till it completely dies.
