130I ABS Fault

I've got a christmas tree on my 130i dash with lots of warning lights ABS, looks like stability and traction.
Checked fuses (pia) did the wheel reset manoeuvre after a search of the forum but still no go. I am charging the battery in case that's it because it came on after a number of short stop starts and I hardly drive it.
Question - If I spend half of Sunday cleaning sensors will the lights go out or do I need a reset tool?
Anyone offer similar experience? Car has travelled 75k so hoping just dirty sensors.
I have extended warranty so inclined to get dealer to sort it but will assume sensors wont be covered or its wear and tear or someway they get out of paying

Take it to the dealer, sensors are not consumables and should be covered under normal warranty. As soon as you tell them ABS + traction problems theyll fix it for sure, too much liability on them if they refuse and its in warranty (ie if you were to prang with it all not working)...

reset tool

Anyone have a reset tool northern Sydney for E87?? to see if I can clear the fault. Charged battery and cleaned sensors - would like to see if that has worked or would the lights just go out?

If it is an ABS sensor that is dirty the Lights should go out i believe if it is cleaned.

A scan tool will be able to tell you which one is faulty. Hopefully it is not a wheel bearing that is the problem.

Lights are still on after clean and a long drive. Ordered a fault scan tool for the future too. Dealer was really good finding me a slot tomorrow. I guess as it involves ABS, stability and traction it's kinda of a safety issue - old school driving!
So will see whats up

Likely to be the optical disc within the SAS.

Its a 15 minute job to clean or a $1100-1200 part to swap out (plus coding).

ABS Pump

Dealer advised that the fault is ABS Pump. Then advised all covered by extended warranty phew - which is terrific because apparently its a 6K repair
