SherlockH Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 So some idiot crashed into me and drove off, and has damaged the front left wing/arch, so new one order, I've fitted new inner and outer tie rods, as it has damaged the wheel, doors a little worse for wear but hopefully a body shop will sort that out. The problem is that the ESP off and ABS light have lit up just after some advice as to what I should be checking to start diagnosing this problem? Any experts in this field and some helpful advice would be appriciated, where to start, what to look at/look out for and how to test ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Probably an ABS sensor has failed on the corner that took the hit? No idea about the Z, but on my M3 it's an easy / cheap fix and the lights all clear themselves after a few hundred yards of driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Sorry to hear that mate!! Get the code (OBD reader) from your zed if possible, that should point you to the right direction. Sounds like a faulty sensor as above said. Edited February 12, 2016 by veeg33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88 Zed Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Nightmare! This is why there should be parking spaces like disabled or parent and child bays especially for people who care about there paintwork! Maybe a bay with a huge Z in it?

SherlockH Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yup could really do with some images/photos or links relating to the traction control almost lost it on a roundabout and was only doing 15/20 since the system has binned itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 There will be a sensor going in or around the hub. Prob best take it to a garage mate......better to check damage on a ramp Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
