    E39 Dashboard Lights

    Anyone got any ideas on this?

    This 3 amber lights came on...no change on how the cars runs...didnt check if the ABS or TC were effected or not. Lights clear on turning the car off and restarting, but came back on later.

    You really need to plug it into a diagnostics though Dave. Could be as siimple as an abs sensor gone as i think that will trigger all 3 lights. Fingers crossed it's something small anyway!

    Won't be airflow meter, don't go near it on a M54. Get diagnostics done, DSC cars have little ABS unit faults but in saying that have done a few, usually wheel speed sensor probs.
