Is the ASC module any cheaper or more reliable than the DSC module? -JB, hoping his sparsely-optioned e39 will be cheaper to fix... -- "It is an honor to be Cookie Monster." -Sesame Street spokeswoman Audrey Shapiro ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 18:53:46 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: E39 Speedo not working Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Brett, What component or components on the DSC module fail?

Identifying it and replacing it is only one issue. The other is liability. Bigger companies like Programa are unlikely to offer rebuilt units, just like they don't rebuild SRS modules. Too much liability in the event of a failure. Brett Anderson KMS > -----Original Message----- > Brett, > > What component or components on the DSC module fail?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks to all that helped out. Bentley Publishers also came through for me by providing the missing pages. They're going to take my defective service manual and replace it with a complete one.

It's for monitoring transmission slippage. The right rear wheel speed sensor does not have anything to do with vehicle speed. Vehicle speed is delivered from the left rear wheel speed sensor to the ABS/ASC/DSC control module, which in turn sends the signal to the instrument cluster, which then feeds it out to anything else that needs it, such as engine control unit, cruise control unit (which are the same unit in later cars), etc. > -----Original Message----- > > If you have a 98 or 99 E39, and this > happens, this is most likely the problem.
