Consumer Description

COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS ABS AND STABILITY ON MY BMW AFTER SEVERAL YEARS FAILS AS IT IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEXT TO EXHAUST MANIFOLD/ CAT CONVERTERS. AS A RESULT THE ABS/STABILITY SYSTEM NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. IT IS KNOWN ISSUE ON BMW FIVE SERIES 1997-2003. MANY COMPUTERS FAIL AFTER YEARS OF SERVICE OR HIGH MILEAGE. BRAKES STILL FUNCTION BUT WITHOUT ABS AND THERE IS NO STABILITY CONTROL (CALLED DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL BY BMW). THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS FAIL BECAUSE OF HEAT IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR
