If my OBC is reading -40 and it blinks when car is first turned on, does that mean i do, dont have the sensor? If i dont have the sensor, is this the one i need to buy? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-T...spagenameZWDVW | | | 04-02-2006, 03:33 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 | The sensor is probably gone or not connected. Just crawl under the car and check (it should be stuck in your driver side brake duct. And at first glance that looks like the sensor you need. | | | 04-02-2006, 04:20 AM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Las Vegas Posts: 18 | yeah i have the same problem....comes to find out that the sensor was completely ripped out..........and a two wires are still hanging there.
