The check engine light does not come on when this light comes on. What does this light mean? | | | 12-01-2006, 11:48 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Central NJ Posts: 2,440 | If it looks like a tire with a dustcloud at one end, it's the ASC (Stability control) light. That would need to be fixed if it's not just fixed by pressing the ASC button. | | | 12-02-2006, 12:40 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 | Where is it located on the dash? | | | 12-02-2006, 02:10 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Isn't that the brake pad sensor light? __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-02-2006, 02:43 AM | #5 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti Isn't that the brake pad sensor light? | I was about to say the brake light. If it's one of the lights on the bottom right of your cluster it's your brake light. It could mean you need new brakes or that the sensor is bad. The sensor is on the front drivers side and there is another on the passenger side in the rear. If it's your traction control light that is in the middle of your cluster panel and it's orange. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 12-02-2006, 02:46 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by Tyler If it's your traction control light that is in the middle of your cluster panel and it's orange. | I don't have traction control on this ti, but isn't that a triangle? __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-02-2006, 02:55 AM | #7 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti I don't have traction control on this ti, but isn't that a triangle? | Yes i think,mines always on so i never see the light besides it starting. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 12-02-2006, 03:29 PM | #8 | Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Cincinnati, OH Posts: 47 | Quote: Originally Posted by Tyler I was about to say the brake light.

The light is right below the tach--first in the 3rd warning light box. | | | 12-02-2006, 03:43 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 | the senders seem to go for less than $15 on ebay.. but you might want to look at your brake pads too while you are there. | | | 12-02-2006, 04:27 PM | #10 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | You can buy one at the dealership for $9-10 or from someplace like www.bavauto.com which i'd recommend. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
