2004 E46 B3s coupe-DSC and (amber) BRAKE LIGHT indicators ?
Hi all. I have a DSC fault. The DSC indicator comes on immediately, followed by the amber brake indicator as soon as I pull away. DSC cannot be enabled or disabled using DSC button.....Any info would be greatly appreciated...Thank you!!
Mine went wrong like yours last year. If it is gone, the ABS compressor(about £400+vat pump only) will be gone as well. So you are talking about £2k repair bill from any dealer . It still costed me £1.6k total last year to fix it from an indie. So now I am having the DSC off when driving on road.
You can check the DSC module(£900+vat part only) is gone by checking the ABS pump. The ABS pump is located under the carbon filter in engine bay. You need to start the car and lift the filter unit off and feel it with your hand. If the pump is working then you save £500.
The DSC module can be repaired for a cost of about £300 but I forgot the where about. Hopefully someone in the forum will inform you in a while. So don't throw it away if you going to replace it with a new one or repair it while the car is off road.
The other scene will be the ABS senor gone and replacing it will sort this out but I am not sure. So finger cross and good luck it isn't the DSC gone. By the way how many miles is yours done. Mine was about 110k when it was gone.

For ASC/DSC ECU unit repair I wrote a thread about it, I have not had any problems since my repair.ALPB1033 wrote:You can check the DSC module(£900+vat part only) is gone by checking the ABS pump.
