after a battery change the 4x4 light on my 2004 X5 would come on after a couple of minutes of driving....I was quoted $140 to $160 for a scan.... I was also told that the steering angle sensor was at fault with a replacement cost of $650....I borrowed a laptop with inpa version 5 and a cable ....I then followed the following instructions....
navigate E53-> chassis -> steering angle sensor
Then F5 to read status
F4 will show general status,
Where you can see what the sensor is currently calibrated to.. should be very close to zero deg. when the physical steering is pointed straight ahead.
if it is not extremely close or exact, you need to reset it.. so navigate E46 -> chassis -> DCS MK6
SHIFT+F4 will get you into the compensation routines..
And pressing F1 here will reset the steering sensor to correspond with the physical straight ahead position.. i personally prefer to do this while the car is on the alignment machine, but if you drive slowly straight, then stop without touching the steering and reset it will be close enough to keep the DSC ecu happy..
it worked perfectly!!! no more light...so be warned when you speak to those so-called experts
