My 3/98 Z3 with 2.8 and 5 speed has a DSC/ASC light on at all times. The ABS system is working fine and presents no lights on the dash. What is the most common cause? The DSC light will respond to the switch on the console only when stationary in the driveway. Turning off the light then driving results in the immediate illumination of the light.

You need to read the ABS module trouble codes. That will tell what the problem is. We can only look out the window and guess without the codes.

You will need a scanner with BMW software to read the trouble codes. Use the 20 pin connector under the bonnet/hood.

Some BMW scanner options:
- INPA on a windows laptop. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/...tions-Experiences-Discussions-Experimentation
- Foxwell NT530 with BMW software
- Foxwell NT680
- Creator C110+
