Sorry for resurrecting an old post but I have the exact same lights on my 2002 2.2 Sport.

When people refer to “Brake Sensors”, are we talking Wear Sensors or ABS?
They're the wheel speed sensors, aka ABS sensors.

Did a scan this morning and got;

5E30 Transverse Acceleration Sensor

That’s as much as my Reader will tell me.

It's probably one of two sensors under the passenger seat. One is the speed sensor, part number 34526754289 and is black plastic with a blue label, and is £400 plus from BMW.

The other is the acceleration sensor, part number 37146781405 and is about £150.

I've JUST sold a good used 6754289 but should have the other one.

Yep, codes read to give you a clue where to start looking. Have you had either new tyres or tracking done recently?
Morning Brian, had all the steering joints replaced on my 3ltr ast year just befor it sorned it. Took car out for a 15 mile drive and these very two warning lights came on after a few miles and stayed on. When I got home sturne ingition off and on started enging and lights off again, should I get warning lights canceled with the code reader ?> Thanks Geoff

it could also be the two solder joints in the ABS box. Really easy to fix. If you can solder that caused me intermittent problems for a year till I pinned it down

Mine lights up occasionally. I'd start the car and the lights would stay on. I'd drive along and they'd eventually go out again. Hasn't happened for a while though but the car hasn't been used in the wet for a while. I wondered if it was just moisture getting in somewhere.

Never use it in the wet I think it maybe due toall steering rod joints being replaced due to rubber showing signs if slight cracking
